He'll go down with an injury in late April, when Manuel tries to force the offense by putting him there everyday. He'll breakdown, the Phillies won't hit enough to make the playoffs, and the talking heads will run with the story that if the NL had the DH the poor Phillies wouldn't have been unfairly eliminated.

The Phillies have enough pitching to make the playoffs with a below-average offense. We kind of need Thome to not only go down, but to land on Halladay when he does.

I detest the DH. It's the biggest travesty in sports. If you can't operate a glove, get off the field, turn in your uniform and go the fuck home.

^This is shaping up as Selig's final middle finger to the fans. The sorta parting gift that will make him reviled in baseball folklore for eternity.

The DH sucks. Fuck it.

Overall on this topic, I'm with Greg.

Since I only watch Mets games, it's pretty rare that I see a game played with the DH rule, but when I do, I always feel as if the game had been somehow lobotomized.

Tonight's Simpsons had a good anti-DH segment.
