Regarding Interleague Play

I have pondered the results and wondered: For those who consider yourselves fans of the so-called "National" league, how does it feel to root for a second-rate, amateur team? Only the Cardinals (3-2), Brewers (5-4), and Rockies (5-1) have winning records against the magnificient ballclubs of the American League. It is a pity to see you subjected to such a poor brand of ballplaying.

I offer a solution. Choose one of Our lesser teams. Perhaps Devil Rays of Tampa Bay(7-1 interleague record), The Mariners of Seattle (8-0) or the Royals of Kansas City(4-4). They lack fans due to their poor American League performance but would surely be champions of your second circuit.

If that does not suit you, consider cheering on an American League Triple-A team. I offer the Toledo Mudhens, the top farm club of the mighty Tigers of Detroit. You will see superior talent displayed (as opposed to your own National League hacks).

If you are truly desperate, you could take in a local cricket match or two depending on the haplessness of your team.

Whatever the solution, I wish you well in finding a more honest representation of the national game.

Four reasons why the American League sucks:

1. Chicago White Sux
2. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
3. The Los Angeles Yankees of New York
4. The Designated Hitter.
