    the NL of course

    because not only does it need real manager actions by thinking which hitter to put in for pitchers. but also because the best team in baseball is in it (Florida Marlins) GO FISH!!!!

  • NL. The NL forces managers to consider carefully when pinch hitting, pitchers to consider intentional walks, and in short the DH takes away a whole element of managing and playing the game

    In my opinion the NL for that same reason, no DH. You are able to watch the pitchers have the oppurtunity to grab that lumber and swing away. They are given the chance to help their own cause. Though my favorite team is in the AL, I say NL.

    AL. I like having a DH since it makes the game more exciting. That doesn't mean I think the NL should adopt it though, I love that baseball has more diversity in its game than any other sports.

    National League.. Today if you watched the Marlins and Nationals it went into 11 innings, and the managers do MUCH more work in the NL because of double switches and decisions as to where to put the pitchers spot.

    Also pitchers hitting makes the game a bit more strategic instead of sending a roided out freak to go and hit and thats it.

    NL. I hate the DH.

    NL, because I think that it is more true to have the pitchers bat. I'm a HUGE Cubs fan, and for example, Carlos Zambrano is a decent hitter, so it is nice when he comes up to bat.

    NL.. Because it's so exciting to see a pitcher hit a HR... I mean damn they hit HRs (Micah Owings, Carlos Zambrano) , steal SBs (I forget who did it like 2 days ago) and get more hits then they give up (Jeff Karstens.)

    NL because its not all about offense

    AL. Don't like seeing pitchers hit, although they do have the occasional home run.
