Opinion: The NL is Balanced, not Weak
In the New York Post, Joel Sherman writes that Cubs Manager Lou Pinella is thankful to be in the National League, because ‘the American League has become a beast.’
…i guess…i suppose it depends on how you define better…i 
mean, yes, the American League has the four best teams in the game…no doubt…but, in my opinion, the National League isn’t weak, it’s more balanced…
Last season, four teams from the American League won 90 games, while only two did so in the National League.
At the same time, while only three teams in the American League won between 80 and 90 games, seven teams did so in the National League.
…so, to me, the National League is stronger overall, i.e., thick in the middle, while the American League is simply top-heavy…in other words, while the Yankees, Tigers, Red Sox, Indians and Angels are beating up on the other nine teams, the entire National League will equally be beating up on one another…
…plus, we all know, real baseball players hit…they don’t send up their friends to bat for them…silly, designated hitter…
