But... Padres vs. Mariners!
I wouldn't even know how to begin to describe the concept of 'floating realignment' in a way that wouldn't give you a headache, but if this is really an issue here's my plan: Every team in each league plays the exact same schedule, and the four teams (ed: in each league!) with the best records at the end of 162 games go on to the playoffs. Of course this can't happen because of interleague play, but it happens to not be insane.
That interleague play is now so sacrosanct that central baseball is even considering a plan this absurd is one of the great mysteries of American sports.

Agreed on the scheduling, but I like having the 6 or 8 best in the playoffs.
I just hate the "TV first" scheduling of the playoffs so that the games don't end until 1AM.
