    THE THING I HATE ABOUT BASEBALL

    The designated hitter. Why? before the DH pitchers were no different than other players when it came to swinging the lumber Babe Ruth was not only a great hitter but also a pretty decent pitcher. All the DH Rule does IMO is water down the game.NUT UP PITCHERS AND GRAB A BAT DON'T BE A PUSSY!

    Yeah that sounds all nice and dandy but if you're playing and your tied in the bottom of the ninth with someone on third and 2 outs, I'd rathar have a DH up than a pitcher any day.

          Who cares. Bud Selig ruined the game.

          DH doesn't matter either way.

          Most NL fans say the DH sucks.

          Most AL fans say pitcher's hitting sucks.

          who cares.

          There's a lot more in baseball that needs fixed than whether there's a dh or not...

            Baseball needs a Salary Cap,
            And until that happens, Baseball will continue to lose fans.

            Bud Selig needs to have his ass fired, and Taglibue needs to be hired in his place.

              same teams week after week.

                  I personally don't think baseball NEEDS a salary cap.

                  Too drunk to expound. May do so later.

                    Well Va...you start with to many fucking teams...

                    and finish with fucking pussy commish's like Selig...

                    Start there...

                    get a commish that isn't owned by the owners...and things will fucking fix themselves.

                    Gotta break the union a bit though...which they don't have the balls to do...

                      DLoc...there's a part of me that says a hard cap is good for baseball...and a hard cap is bad...

                      It's not a large market fest year after year...but...

                      It's also damn near impossible for teams to put together continuous runs unless you are a big market team.

                      Either way...you have to start with a commisioner that can tell the owners to stick it up their ass...without fearing getting canned...

                          Like I've always said...having an owner (former owner now...but not when he was hired) as a commisioner is a fucking joke. And to top it all of, to watch him fuck up year after year after year...and basically...watch baseball transgressions go up...it's amazing to me that the owners sit and do nothing.
