Interleague play has ruined baseball and is anathema!

Poll question: Interleague play has ruined baseball and is anathema!

[Droopy]

1. I have to disagree that it has ruined baseball, but

I would prefer that we didn't have it.

2. I dislike it because the NL ...

...has to go along with that moronic DH rule, which the AL had to invent to attract interest to its' inferior level of play ( well, the Yankees and Red Sox are good; maybe they could jump to the NL.)

GO CUBS !!!

3. How long have you been waiting to use "anathema" in a post ?!?!

6. Haven't been waiting at all. I use the word on a regular basis

4. Too late; the dh did that (echoing chicagojoe) n/t

[WindRavenX]

5. yup

After whipping the Mets so hard year after year, it's lost its luster (except in 2000, I was there for the WS!)

7. Whatever. It's baseball, and it doesn't matter.

8. It sure can take the fizz out of the World Series...

It was always nice to have a contrast in the two leagues. Generally speaking, the National was a pitching and baserunning league, and the American was a power league. (Again, I'm takling in broad generalities here. -- gotta be careful, baseball fans are sensitive critters.)

But the more that the two leagues have interleague play, those different flavors are lost, and turn into one big bland soup.
