Abolish Interleague Play


Even though he is Yankee, you hate to see Chien-Ming Wang injuring himself running the basepaths.  Like Crash Davis, I am of the belief that the designated hitter should be abolished, but until that happens, we shouldn't ask pitchers to do things they haven't properly trained for simply so the fans can see novelty match ups.

In related news, did nobody at the Associated Press copyedit the headline  "Yankees' Wang injured against Houston"?  I mean, why not have published "Yankees' Wang, Tumescent until the Sixth Inning, Wilts after Injury."
