'Battle for the Boot' Alternatives
« on: June 28, 2011, 02:07:33 pm »
The Astros and Rangers don't have a rivalry.  The stupid boot doesn't make the annual interleague clusterfuck any more appealing.  But it did get me to thinking...could we add 'Battle' to any contrived rivalry?

Rangers vs. Cubs - Battle of the Pick-a-nick Basket

Royals vs. Nationals - Battle of 1812 (a matchup sure to set the capita
  • l on fire!)


Marlins vs. Mariners - Battle of Industrial-Strength Fishing Line

Brewers vs. Angels - Battle of Saturday Night vs. Sunday Morning

etc, etc, etc.
