It's about time for Hank Steinbrenner to STFU.

You know what... I think each team should have an offensive and defensive team. Put the best product on the field!!!

Exactly. Nine hitters and nine fielders. It worked in football, so why not in baseball?

Maybe they could get rid of this outdated, 1800's-era "batting in order" concept, too. Why should the fans get cheated out of seeing Albert Pujols hit with the bases loaded just because he grounded out with nobody on last inning? It makes no sense.

Having "umpires" is ridiculously outdated as well.

It should be up to the players to make the right call based on an honor system. Any disagreements on the field should be handled by polling America via the phone...like on American Idol.

Exactly.

I also think a homer should count double because we all know that chicks dig the long ball.
