Cheapest tickets on StubHub today were $19

The majority of those were resales, so there are going to be empty seats. People aren't willing to pay the ridiculous face value prices they are putting on these tickets.

Except having to use a bench player as the DH when the AL team often employs one full time

Sorry that is not giving up anything.......do not need as many bench players in AL parks.

Yeah, but AL teams build their offense around a DH. NL teams build their offense around the rest of their lineup.

 

Losing one of your best hitters is a lot worse than adding a good hitter to a lineup that is good enough without that player.

How does that make sense?

 

I know we're all Sox fans, but this idea that interleague play only helps the NL is ridiculous. Besides, look at the results for the past decade.

I love Hawk, but the one thing I'm still trying to figure out,

 

"It's not who you play, but when you play them".

 

It doesn't make sense.

 

Say that to the Philadelphia 76ers

The Cubs have to DH Reed Johnson & Joe Mather, while their opponents get to DH Dunn or David Ortiz. That's a big difference.

They still don't lose a vital part of their offense like AL teams do.
