SCREW the DH rule!!!!

It’s the reason I won’t even watch the AL anymore.

I hope the NL keeps their big boy pants on and kills this idea forever so future generations can always know what old school baseball is all about.

Maybe it's because I was weaned on the NL (Reds), but I always HATED the DH. A pitcher SHOULD bat, even though they almost uniformly stink. However a good bunting pitcher can make a big difference. Plus, it's p&%$y-ball to have a head-hunter pitcher throw at a batter's noggin and to NOT suffer the consequences.

And while I understand it, I'm not crazy about pinch-runners either.

Baseball has it over football in ONE respect. You play offense AND defense. None of the "return specialist" players. I support it in the NFL, not in MLB.
