Heh. :-) That both leagues don't play by the same rules is ridiculous. Ridiculous! -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 13:41 9
- I sorta agree, but isn't that due to tradition, as well? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 14:06 8
  - From the 1970s. So, that can go immediately. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:08 1
    - think of all the titles you would not have won without Matsui at DH -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:12
  - We're only concerned with the 100 year old traditions of the Yankees...not the 100+ year old traditions of MLB. jeez... -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:07 5
    - What are you talking about? There was no DH until '73. Why do you hate fun and more home runs? ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:11 4
      - Exactly - the tradition of pitchers batting for themselves goes back to the beginning of baseball. Why aren't you crying over that lost tradition - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:12 3
        
        I'd be fine with that if that's the way they go with it. I just want the same rules in both leagues. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:20 1
        
        I'm not such a traditionalist that I can't see how changes can make the game better. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:23
        
        and how about all these Asian players? They should be be doing the team's laundry!!! -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:13
