    I think the DH would be fine if there was no interleague, and it only came up in the World Series. What makes AL fans snobbish is not that they like the DH per se, but the fact that as NL fans we consistently hear about how much better the AL during interleague play. It's a completely unfair proposition when (in the case of the Brewers) the team has to go into Fenway where a dude has pretty much only played DH for like 5 years and is hitting .315 with 20 HRs, then Yankee Stadium where some guy hitting about the same exists, and this is generally the case for most teams in the AL. Conversely we either call up Matt Gamel for two weeks, or send up Mark Kotsay/Craig Counsell/Carlos Gomez. Then, when the AL comes to the NL, you get weird things like Adrian Gonzalez playing right field for a few days to make room for Ortiz, but the Red Sox still have David Ortiz hitting (and 6 games with him in the field isn't as harmful as 160). That guy doesn't exist in the National League, because he wouldn't be around for 162 games. So the AL, with one extra hitter, consistently beats the NL in these games because they have an advantage not because they play better baseball.

    What's more interesting to me is the fact that the NL and AL have split the last 10 World Series, and really the Giants were one bad inning and the Phillies one bad Pedro start away from the NL taking 7 of the last 10.

    You're right about the Giants, but the Phils were still a Game 7 away, with a beat-up Cole Hamels pitching. Far from a sure thing. Yanks were clearly better than the Phils in that series.

    Big thanks to their DH, of course. Meanwhile Phils sent 4th OF Ben Francisco out to play DH. :roll:

    Just make baseball like football - 9 guys play offense, 9 other guys play defense. Sounds great, huh? :roll:

    :o:lol::lol: . Awesome.

    MLB is trying to become the NFL with all this replay talk.

    You AL fans come off as completely snobbish and douchebag-ish with your "The NL will have the DH eventually" shit. No, the NL will NOT have the DH. We will continue to play REAL baseball for a long time. You guys enjoy your beer league softball.

    Snobbish? Like claiming to play "real baseball?"

    The day Vegas gets a team is the day Pete Rose is their manager.

    Sooo the Marlins gave up a home game so U2 could perform in Florida. I'm confused. I feel like the Marlins can tell Bono to go fuck himself since the venue was double booked. Both teams flew 3500 miles to Seattle to play the game. WTF is going on?

    Well it's a football stadium so maybe they didn't have as much say. Or maybe they got more $$$ fromU2 than they would've from gates.
