Interleague Play -- Do You Like It?

Just curious as to people's opinion of it.

I love it. It's a test to the manager's skills to play in another league for a bit, and it's also a chance for teams to play who haven't faced each other in a long time. And it gives a chance for cross town rivals in Chicago, LA, New York, and Texas to play each other.

I love it.

I do think they should tweak the scheduling around a bit and do away with the forced rivalries. (Why do the Padres play the Mariners every year?) but I still like it.

Interleague play is a nice break from ordinary, but I hate that the DH rule is applied for games at American League teams. It puts National League teams at a disadvantage to give 4 plate appearances to the likes of Mark Sweeney for three straight games.

I think it's fine as is

I would like more of it, but I do think though to enhance fans knowledge of the other league pitchers should hit in the AL parks, and DH's in the National League parts... that way those fans can see a David Ortiz, Jim Thome, Travis Hafner to name a few

I think they should have one or two more series for interleague.

On a side note, I moved this into the polls forum to show it on the front page this could have some good discussion.

Pitchers don't need to hit in the AL parks for fans to know who the pitchers are. The pitchers are the guys throwing on the mound during the game. If Ortiz, Thome, and Hafner want to start in NL parks, they better get their lazy asses at first base.
