Who wants to see Inter league games eliminated?

Only kids and Bud Selig get excited over them. I'm a traditionalist. The only times the AL and NL should face each other is in exhibition games, All-Star Game and the World Series. Freeway, I-70, Bay, Cross-Town, Battle of Ohio, Beltway, Subway, series are a waste of time and money.Who wants to see Inter league games eliminated?While we're at it let's see what we can do about the DH also.

Eh. I am kind of torn about this.



The thing that I like about interleague play is seeing teams I don't normally see play. I don't get to see the Padres, Giants, or many other NL West teams because when they play a regular 7:00 PM game, it's 9:00 in Chicago. And I normally wouldn't stay up until midnight unless the White Sox were playing. Also, in Chicago, there is the Crosstown Classic and it's a great event in Chicago. All of the fans of the Cubs and White Sox are at a mini-war for bragging rights, and I love the emotion showed in those 2 series.



However, the aspect I don't like about interleague play is that the teams do not affect each other. A Rockies loss affects no team in the American League, no implications on the playoffs or anything, while every game played within the leagues have some sort of importance.



Right now, I can see them lessen interleague play, make it only 1 or two series, plus the one big rivalry. But I don't want to see the Crosstown Classic die out.Who wants to see Inter league games eliminated?I wouldn't miss interleague games, but recognize that they're not going to go away.



So I'd settle for having IL play trimmed back from 16-19 games per season to a more reasonable 8-10. 16 games is 10% of the season, and that's more than enough to influence postseason berths being determined by playing teams not involved in either league's pennant races -- and that's just wrong.



And, for the handful of ballyhooed marquee matchups -- Mets-Yanks, Cubs-White Sox, etc., there are far more dead dog pairings that have no built-in appeal. How does one sell Blue Jays-Rockies? Battle of the breweries? Mariners-Marlins? "Seagoing and alliterative"?
I am also a traditionalist %26amp; was'nt happy with it at first, but it brings excitement to some of the games %26amp; a playoff atmosphere. Alot of ppl also enjoy them more %26amp; brings more fans out to the stadium. So, it helps sell tickets %26amp; bring in revenue for a team that might not have that otherwise. So, I think it's fineWho wants to see Inter league games eliminated?Why should they eliminate Inter-League games?



It's a great chance to watch teams that you don't often play, it's nice to mix it up every now and then rather than seeing the same 14 teams all year.



Please elaborate on why Inter-League games are a waste of time and money.Who wants to see Inter league games eliminated?
they are fun you get to see the pitcher look really funny when he strikes out seriously dont take everything serious
Only when the Giants have to play Boston or the YankeesWho wants to see Inter league games eliminated?
I like them. It's better than the same old, same old matchups.
What so bad about it? I like it. Looking forward to seeing my two teams face each other next month.
Right now your being a bit stupid. Who cares. We get to see more baseball.
