Ya know what's far more annoying than crossposting?? People who just keep re-quoting an entre thread, jsust to add a sentence or two at the bottom. Hell, sometimes it's just a one-liner.


Yeah. Wears out my scroll wheel.

See? You open up the door to the sewer, and the rats are gonna come running in.

No need. That's why you cross-post to the Tigers ng.

That's crap (and I say that as one who hates the DH - although, above all else, no matter which rule they choose, I think it IS time for both leagues to play by the SAME rules)!! It's an ADVANTAGE for an NL team to be able to put an extra hitter in their lineup, and not have to deal with the double switches, etc., PLUS, it's an even bigger advantage at home, when the AL team is forced to send a guy to the plate who may not have ever batted in a real baseball game before.
The extra hitter the NL teams put in there is a part time player like Taguchi, not a $10 mil masher. Admittedly, he may be a piss poor fielder, but the Met won with Mitchell at SS. That is a huge advantage for the AL.
sounds like losers making excuses to me.


Sounds like somebody didn't finish charm school.
