Which sets of two teams are within 1 degree of each other longitudinally?

Which set is closest?

kranepool · Post by **kranepool** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:08 pm

Mets/Yanks?

(too easy, so obviously wrong)

Probably someting like San Diego/Texas, or Seattle/Toronto

ETA: I read that wrong, so Mets/Yanks is probably one set.

O's/Reds
Padres/Braves
Padres/Rangers
Rays/Astros

Someone doesn't know the different between latitude and longitude. Never get on a boat that Kranepool is piloting!

Oakland/SF may not be within a degree; but they are only about 35 minutes apart, with light traffic.

(a little longitude joke there)

bfj · Post by **bfj** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 1:50 pm

Orioles trade Arietta/Strop to the Cubs for Scott Feldman and a back up C.

It's July, and an old, DL-laden Phillies team is going up against a first place Pirates squad.

I don't know about the rest if you, but I'm really looking forward to this MJ-Magic team-up in Barcelona next month.

howard · Post by **howard** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 7:42 pm

Timmy tossing a gem. Haven't seen his split this effective in years. Three hits and one run surrendered through five. Howevah, Homer has gone fifteen up, fifteen down. Thus, it is hex time. Perfect game into the sixth, Homer Bailey.

Perfect game out of the sixth. Faces Buster next inning.

Enjoying the crap out of this game, Doc. I'm starting both of them my one league.
