I was wondering who likes what league and why, I think the AL is great because of the DH. I think the losing league should have the DH rule. I've also been a national league guy because of my braves and other teams I like.

My Dad very strongly disapproves of the DH, but i personally don't think it's that bad. It's a trade off: You can bat yourself and be able to get a break every 9th batter the first two or 3 go-arounds, or not bat and never have that "easy-out" once in awhile.

Oh, no, there are plenty of good-hitting pitchers, but there are significantly more lousy ones. It's a trade-off. If you are good enough to make the decision, take what you like.

I approve of the DH. Just look at what happened to Chein-Ming Wang last season. There should be a DH in both leagues. I know it's fun to see pitchers try to hit (and even funnier when they hit a longball) but I just want to see the DH rule being implied to both leagues.

I agree with the Wang thing as I'm a yankee fan, but I also feel that DH gives an advantage to players who cannot field. The point of DH is for a player to help the pitcher hit/run. Players like Ortiz/Giambi/Matsui cannot field much, but can hit or could hit play DH as extra power. AL have better offense now, while NL have better pitching so I feel that DH fits AL more.

I know I ranted about wanting the DH in the NL after Wang, but I was joking. I like the DH in the AL, but I'm not forit in the NL personally. Again there is that trade-off and a drasctially different style of playing. Plus, on the AL, you need to pay that one extra big hitter and use one of your roseter spots for him. I like the AL more because of the Yanks and I know the AL much better then the NL. In the AL, I know a lot or at least a decent amount about every team except the Rangers, Royals, and Mariners (Mariners I know some about, but I don't know all their players). The NL, I know less then a third of all the teams well. I can't even name more then 4 or 5 players on the Giants or Nationals.

Just keep it as it is, it gives the leagues diversity in play style

I for one am NOT a fan of the DH, I hate it, but I do agree that it's makes it more interesting if one league has it and another league doesn't.

Somebody mentioned this early, but it is great to see ptichers go the yard. Game 4 of the 2008 WS: "Oh, you mean Blanton's homer?"
"Yeah, that game." :lol:
