I saw Cito Gaston win 2 Titles.

I see the Red Sox use an "approach" but virtually ZERO in game stratgey and Finally Win a Title.

I just can't buy that it's baseball.

Although I did say the NFL and I can't explain Barry Switzer winning one either.

Stopped playing the NBA and NFL long ago !! Learned my lesson in BOTH !

Love the College level of anything!

Baseball is the toughest for me, cause i think that EVERY dog is LIVE !

AS far as Barry goes will that is a mystery to me as well.

American League Baseball... NO
National League Baseball..... YES

DH puts much less pressure on AL managers

football by far

Agree with football. Every player has a role in a play and one missed assignment can equal touchdown. If the CF is picking his nose during a ground ball to short no one really cares.

Yeah that double switch is really confusing. I suppose it adds the tiniest bit over the DH league, but Not much.

Among the Big 3 it's football by a country mile.

No pressure on the manager in AL in later innings to decide if to pinch hit for a pitcher have him taken out of the game because they need a run.

Jack Morris would of never pitch all 10 innings in game 7 of the 1991 world series if the DH rule was not in effect.

DH needs to go away one of the reasons a 2.5 hour baseball game rarely happens anymore.

koidog · Mar 29, 2006

NoBody Pitches 10 innings of a game anymore DH or No.

And it really isn't that tricky with the way they use Pitch Counts now.

It's the 7th or later, I can pretty much tell you with 99% accuarcy when the Pitcher is hit for or not.

On the DH also: I think watching a pitcher Bunt with One out is the WORSE thing I can see on a baseball field. Worse than seeing him flail away at 3 pitchers.

Worse yet the 2 out Intentional walk of the 8th hitter to face the pitcher. UGHHHHHH

Baseball. Not even close.

Will the SB officiating crew also be getting their SB rings prior to the Steelers -Dolphins game that kickoffs the 2006 NFL season
