    The DH haters would disagree.
    I personally like the DH. but I think it'd be cool if they abolished it in the WS.

    Steroids are absolutely part of the game now, and it's too late to look back.

    No it's not. Only two players hit 50+ home runs in each of the last two seasons.
    Since testing for anabolic steriods began, only five players have hit 50+ home runs.
    Compare that to the previous five seasons before testing (when the 60-HR mark was broken seven times and the 70-HR mark twice).

    Don't worry about the WS, but DO flip it in interleague so you use DH in NL parks and let the pitchers bat in AL parks. If I was still in Cleveland, I'd pay good cash money to IL games then just to see CC hit.

    Just move the fences back another 200 feet. That'll curb this home-run record bullshit. They'll drop dead before they can crack 25 for the season.

    What he said. I'll drink to that.

    People aren't using steroids because there's better stuff availiable now, and there will be in the future.

    Here's what will happen to 'fix' MLB.

    There will be a lot of talk, some announcements and public condemnations. Some drawn out negotiations and an agreement.

    Then some of this:
