Aw yeeeah . . . eleven wins in a row . . . and I got to watch the last three of them on TV!
Of course, as a baseball purist I refuse to watch interleague games and believe interleague play (and the DH) should be done away with (what does the World Series mean now?). But I'll be rooting for the Mets to win the pennant regardless.
PS: There are fewer baseball games than ever on TV now. The Braves moved from TBS to the sports tier years ago, Fox has moved its games of the week to Fox Sports, WGN America has dropped the Cubs, and since having to replace cable with satellite a few years ago we no longer get Cardinals or Reds games. Before long only those who buy the whole package will be able to follow baseball at all.
I agree with you about the whole inter-league game thing. It should be done away with and the DH is strictly for candy@$$es. If they want to have a subway game between the two teams then it should be an unofficial “friendly.” Maybe they could revive the old Mayors Cup and do it during the All Star break with the proceeds going to charity.
