Here we go already Yankees play from behind way too often.

Wow, look at all those fans at this game. Yesterday, the Cubs and Cardinals squared off at a full Wrigley Field, and Bill Murray sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame and was in the booth for an inning. It was wonderful. |

I stole it off the broadcast. Okay. I'm watching the Phillies broadcast because that's all I can get. You can take credit for anything on YES and I won't know it. |

National League fans would not have it any other way. I actually prefer having the different leagues. And, this season, a few of the pitchers are hitting no worse than some position players. It stinks for AL fans because our pitchers almost never bat or practice hitting. Like any tradition-bound reactionary baseball fan at the time. I just loathed the concept of the DH when it was loosed upon The Great Game in 1973. The good-hitting pitcher and the comically bad-hitting pitcher were two cherished sub-genres, and I saw no compelling reason to change this or almost anything else about the game. After awhile it became obvious that it was here to stay, so there was little point in railing against it. You would have to be pushing 60 to even remember the pre-DH world. Like Rizz, I prefer that the leagues have their own cultures. I liked it that AL umps wore the chest protector outside the jacket, that the AL was more of a home run and breaking ball league and the NL more of a fastball and speed league. I liked that they had genuine rivalries and cared about winning the All Star Game and World Series for their leagues. Of course inter-league play watered that down enormously, and then there were no more AL or NL umps or even league Presidents. No longer do we have the mystique of the two leagues facing each other only in the All Star Game and World Series. The rivalries have lost most of their intensity and uniqueness. The business of no DH in NL parks puts AL teams at an obvious disadvantage. The fact that someone as vital to the Yankees offense as Giancarlo Stanton can't even play in these games is a mockery. I would end interleague play in a heartbeat. Very few fans would miss it, and it would help return some of the spice to the rivalry of the two leagues. The way God obviously planned it. Beautiful post, Pipps! We are in harmonious concurrence in all facets mentioned.  |

Taillon gone after one-third of a miserable inning. The only plus is that Velasquez might tighten up after such a long inning.
