Is for the miles? I hope that's a joke.

Most obvious joke of all time.

And I thought it was for the amazing seats in the press box... waaaaaaay down the right field line.

The solution is to get better and not make your competition get worse.

How about handing out participation ribbons and trophies instead?

I think they should do annual realignment with the angels getting the 4 worst predicted teams of the year regardless of location.

Short memories here. I seem to recall there was much cheering -- no matter which Angels fan board you were on at the time -- when the National League patsies in Houston joined the AL West. The rinky-dink 4-team "division" became a rebalanced  5 teams like every other division. And even though they were still patsies to everyone else for a while, the Astros found their own patsies in SoCal.

The Houston patsies have grown up and are now apparently Monster Mashers. Cycles come and cycles go. We don't need realignment. We don't need to be playing the Dogs 20 games a season, either. The Angels can't change who they are by changing their division. Just get better pitchers. Ramirez might be serviceable when he gets off the IL, for a start.
