The DH

I don't know how other American League fans feel, but I can no longer watch the Twins play in National League ballparks.

Last night was the best example I could think of. Phil Hughes came up to bat in the top of the fourth and the top of the sixth with runners at second and third.

And he grounded out weakly both times leaving men FOUR runners stranded.

Gay marriage was illegal in the all 50 states as little as 10 years ago. Now it's the law of the land in all 50 states. IF something that controversial can get enough support to become law in so little time, how is it that the National League has not adopted the DH scenario yet? The American League, as well as most of the free world, has had the DH for over FORTY years.

At least allow it for inter-league play and the World Series. If you National League clubs want your weak-kneed pitchers to stifle rallies every third inning or so when you're playing amongst yourselves, that's up to you. But when it starts affecting how the rest of us live are lives, that's another thing. Forcing what you think is right on us and making us watch just isn't right.

I'm still talking about baseball, by the way.
