Dayton posts his Phillies wins on his blog site (Dayton is not in Ohio)--great site, so thought I'd better give my boys in blue a nod for the win yesterday. The game was closer than than the score for sure. Bottom line: National League ball is the ONLY true baseball.
The AL brought in the "designated hitter" back in the weird '70s and took their pitcher out of the box. Bad idea then and still rotten to the core. Just to sell tickets. Another mark of losing one's soul for a shilling in this culture.
Not the NL. So even if my beloved Dodgers (and good ole Joe--make the Yanks bleed) don't go the distance, I'll root for the Phillies. So between Dayton and I, we can't lose. And the AL better not win.
