what the fuck was Suppan thinking?? geez I'm glad Boston got rid of him. The base coach told him to go and even if he didn't HELLO!! you're a pro, you know the strategies and you know what's going on. That mistake really hurt him and the cards...but Pedro was just unreal after that inning...
as far as NL vs. AL goes, I like the DH. I don't really see how the NL rules offer that much more strategy or options. Sure you can use more pinch hitters if you do alot of pitching changes, but if you don't then why not have a dh with a strong bat in there all the time versus a pitcher who rarely gets on base?? I'd rather see Ortiz swingin for homeruns in the DH position than watching Pedro smile as a 90 mph fastball whizzes by him.
