Everybody knows that the Phillies are really an American League team stuck in the National league. I personally think that they should switch places with Baltimore

I'm not a fan of the DH either (I assume that's what you meant). I'm all for getting rid of it but it doesn't bother me that much.

What?! The DH is a big part of what makes the American League the best. No one wants to watch a pitcher with a .110 batting average embarass himself.

The DH is what makes the AL less interesting. less strategy. Less sac bunting. Less awesomeness.

By the way, CC Sabathia is probably a better hitter than most teams' 7-9. Micah Owings, Mike Hampton, Matt Cain, Brad Penny, Livan Hernandez... There are plenty of pitchers out there who can hit. It is pure and right and good.

until AL supporters realize they support the weaker league, this conversation will be ongoing.

Now you're just trying to start something.

I suppose that means that the conversation will continue for all time.

I thought you were getting at something else. But I concur, DHing is for weiners.

Why? Bunting is a skill, one of the hardest to learn well. I love bunting, especially bunting for a hit.

Indeed. I would say bunting for a base hit takes more talent than hitting a home run.
