Here is a side note for you, although Colorado had a winning record against Boston and New York. The American League won overall 137-115.
As another side note, the American League has had the better record in 7 out of the 11 years since the inception of inter-league play.
As for the DH comment, you are obviously a Communist. Or more likely this is Tony LaRussa posting anonymously. Either way, your comments are appreciated.

Here’s a side note Dave,
Please check your stats.. When the AL plays the NL…they lose.
The Colorado Rockies have smoked the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Having a DH in baseball makes no sense. Anyone can hire a gorilla for millions of dollars to hit homeruns.

When I was writing this post, the only pitcher I thought of as being a decent hitter was Dontrelle Willis. He had an off year playing for a crappy team. Dontrelle strikes me as the type of player that needs to be pitching in meaningful games for him to be at his best. When he pitched against Barry Bonds this season, he brought his “A” game and was awesome. With that being said, If Florida ever makes him available I guarantee Boston would be very interested in him.
Thanks for commenting.

I agree he had an off year. But you gotta admit, back in 05, when was pitching out of his mind, and hitting decent, that was fun to watch.

The NL is a joke. Lets face it the team who wins the ALCS will win the world series, the world series it self will be like four cool down games. And so what dontrele can hit better than half his team, look who he plays for. after the season he had this year they might want to convert him into a fielder cause he clearly forgot how to pitch.

The NL may have the Colorado Rockies respresent them in the playoff’s, c’mon now, the Rockies?? stick with the DH, stick with the AL, maybe the NL can learn something…………………..as a side note, the only time I enjoy the NL is when you get a throwback pitcher who can actually hit, I loved watching the Marlins bat Dontrele Willis in the 6 spot last year.
