Am I the only person who prefers the American League to the National League?

Go A's

Im with ya, the AL is just better to watch. As a whole the league has more talent and I think the DH makes the game more fun to watch. But I bet there are some baseball purists out there who say the pitcher is supposed to hit blah blah blah.

Although I will say I love to see when Dontrelle Willis goes 2-3 with a double from the plate and that wouldn't happen in the AL.

I would pay you money if the Brewer pitchers didn't have to hit, although Suppan is pretty good with the hardwood....it's just ugly to watch

Not too long ago the Brewers' pitchers didn't have to hit. But, I think they are better off being in the NL Central and having their pitchers hit instead of being in the AL Central with the DH.

I like the NL because of the Cubs, but the AL is usually more exciting to watch.  Seems like all of the teams I like are in the "boring" conference, actually with the Bears, Bulls,  and Cubs.

I don't really follow hockey.  Ever since Chelios left, I haven't had much interest.

There were a couple of years back in the day when they were really good.

Chelios, Ed Belfour, Jeremy Roenick

Back in the old Sega Genesis days.

But, that's getting off topic.

I should be purist and say that of course the NL is more entertaining because of the uber-exciting drama of the double switch and the greater strategy involved with the employment of pitch hitters and relievers. But, honestly, I would rather watch David Ortiz and Travis Hafner than a flailing pitcher any day.
