That's what will happen eventually, but many players seem to take being a full-time DH as an insult. Egos will have to be managed.

Is there any specific way that interleague opponents are determined? Think I'm making a Cali trip in 2013 and would be thrilled if the Phillies played the A's. No real way to find that out though?

It used to go by division, but everything will change next year anyway with the Astros moving the the AL and Interleague being played every day.
Yes son. I'm the best mono-thingy guy there ever was.

This is just disturbing. http://goo.gl/0bIYX
This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

Who were we in line to play? The West, which is where the Astros are going anyway, right?

When discussing the all-time greats, I don't think Hank Aaron always gets his due. Dude could rake and for a loooong time.

No prob. I hate the argument that many years of excellent play should somehow be dismissed.

It would've been the Central. They face the East this year...

i feel like he admitted this long ago. maybe it was just speculation. or maybe he just said it was a third of the time before.
Fine. You wanna act like you're two? I'll act like I'm one.

Oil Can has to be some slang term for coacaine we were all fooled.
