Aarg, I hate interleague play

2. I like the NYY-NYM, LAD-LAA, SF-OAK, CHC-CHW
games.

Minnesota-Colorado?

Kansas City-Florida?

Ummm, not so much.

4. Twice even
But I still don't think it's fair to the visiting teams.

5. It's kind a part of the season that...in the back of your mind...you think
doesn't really matter because these are not the teams you will be playing for the rest of the season.

6. Well, interleague play got the Red Sox back into first...
...so all's well that ends well.

7. Its Unamerican
as is artificial turf and the incredibly stupid designated hitter rule. Why not have designated runners and designated third basemen and designated fans and designated umpires. I guess its what the AL wants.

A weekend a year should be set aside for a three game interleague series for teams geographically close; the games won't count, tickets will be cheap and all revenue goes to charity in the home teams city.
