If/when the Expos move or regardless, the DH has to go. It should be
abolished. If the Expos move to Portland, I would move them to the NL
West and move the Astros to the AL West. Then, move the Pirates back
to the NL East. If the Expos go to Washington, DC (where I think they
will end up) I would move the Astros to the AL West and have it be
15-15 all the way. Finally, I would abolish the DH rule once and for
all. I still think interleague play needs to go, too. But one thing
at a time. I would get rid of the DH first and then focus on
interleague play. |

How do you not have interleague play with 15 teams in each league?

For someone who manages to sneak in the fact that the DH has to go three
times in one paragraph, you think that you'd at least offer one good reason
*why* it "has to go".

You can't have 15 teams in each league unless you have interleague
play because of the odd number of games for one team in the
schedule.

Either an interleague game nearly every day or you get bye days every day.
I'm not sure which is worse.

Jeff's fifth post must've been lost in cyberspace. After getting rid of the
DH and interleague play, realigning the leagues and banning anything
resembling a number, he planned to immediately contract the Dodgers and
Orioles. >> Stay informed about: The DH rule should be abolished in 2004 |

If you make it 15-15 you'd have to actually increase interleague play, since
otherwise there would be one team in either league sitting out a series at a
time. >> Stay informed about: The DH rule should be abolished in 2004 |

You wouldn't have to increase it, just spread it out. They played 250
interleague games this year, more than enough to have an interleague
series going at all times. >> Stay informed about: The DH rule should be abolished in 2004 |

If teams sat out, wouldn't that stretech the regular season into November or at
least mid-October? >> Stay informed about: The DH rule should be abolished in 2004 |

Taking everything else out for a second -- you do realize this would
leave one team in each league idle at all times...

But you can't market an event as special if it literally happens every
day.
