Boo hoo hoo. I know how to fix that problem.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

He's not wrong that it creates problems for AL teams, who configure their rosters to the DH.

He completely misses the boat on the rest of the issue.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Interleague play unfairness?

http://msn.foxsports.com/video/MLB?vid=7f7f0cd7-177f-40e1-a711-748c0bdd7165



Adrian Gonzalez is "at physical risk" if he plays LF?  Are there mines out there or something?

PS Why don't you whine about how NL teams can't afford to carry aging, one-dimensional players on their roster?  Because that might actually address the real problem with the DH rule?

Put the Lumberjack in the outfield?  He's played 22 games there to accommodate the travesty of making hitters play in the field, why complain about making Gonzalez play there?  But, if they want to eliminate interleague play altogether, I'd be cool with that.

How about just eliminating the American League?
