John Kruk just went off hardcore on this. These are his paraphrased comments: "The NL needs to grow up? A grown man just injured his foot while running around the bases. He coulda done that by running in the outfield or fielding his position, which I'm pretty sure pitchers do in the AL. If one of his players slips in the shower and breaks his foot, is he going to go turn off the water? I don't think he would be complaining if this happened to Josh Beckett." Buster Olney had this to say: "A rule from the 1800s? They need to get with the 21st century? Wasn't the DH instituted in 1972? It's only been around for 36 years."

If people believe it's entertaining, then it's not a myth whether you fall in that category or not. Personally, I'd rather not have the DH, but I think both leagues need to have the same rule. To each his/her own. Personally, I kinda like how the AL has it and the NL doesn't. No other sport has something like that, differing rules. Gives fans a point of contention for either side. Imagine if like the AFC got away with field goals, that'd be crazy.

To add on, since May 30th, he's 18 for 44 (.409) with 6 2Bs, 1 3B, 2 HR, and 14 RBI. I don't know how anyone who could root against a player on their own team, especially while that player is performing so much better than the previous player. In comparison, since May 30th, DLee is 14 for 58 (.241) with 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, and 7 RBI, although his cold slump has been widely noted.

Interesting side note that I don't know if it has been mentioned or not, Scott Baker of the Twins struck out four Brewers in an inning today. Drop 3rd allowed Fatty McFat Fat Vegetarian to wobble and heavily breath to first base

Remind me why I should care about a team in the other league and a team in the western division again? Knowledge is power. Can never know too much.

damn Sox just tied it up with Colorado.

Toronto fans are doing the wave. Wave's don't belong in professional sports. College is still good to go (my Badger bias). Hello, Carlos.

It's not your TV's fault, it's the metric system. Throwing everything off.
