    News Interleague play returns!

    Interleague plays returns on Friday, but only for one series. It's a little three-game teaser with the bulk of the interleague games happening in mid-June. Anything interesting on the schedule?

    We have of course the geographical rivalries:

    - Yankees vs Mets
    - Nationals vs Orioles
    - Indians vs Reds
    - Rangers vs Astros
    - Dodgers vs Angels

    But of course Major League Baseball mixed it up a bit for the rest, and we get matchups that we've seldom seen before.

    - Rays vs Cards - wtf?
    - Marlins vs Royals - these two should have been switched together
    - Tigers vs Diamondbacks - interesting
    - Brewers vs Red Sox - battle of the fat guys!
    - Blue Jays vs Phillies - eh...
    - A's vs Braves - totally out of nowhere
    - Twins vs Rockies - uninteresting
    - White Sox vs Giants - also uninteresting

    Of course, the Pirates and Cubs play each other and get spared from any interleague games until June. Lucky?

    I like interleague play, but I really think they should play a 2 game series home and home with every team in the opposite league.

    In the past Giants/A's have played in a 3 games series around this time of the year, and then continued the series in mid June.

    I heart interleague play. All opponents of it can kiss my ass.

    No I know. Normally the A's would host the Giants in May, then they'd switch in June. But the schedules are a little wacked out this year.

    I will be at the Rays/Cards series this weekend and looking forward to it! My first interleague game and two exciting teams.
