Inter league play? - Get rid of it. Why have an AL and a NL if they play each other so much? May as well just lump em all in one league and pick the team with the best winning percentage at the end of the season and give them the trophy. Which i do NOT want to see...
I like Inter-league play...it's the only time all season I get to see the NL teams.

Maine of course......
What is the average game time? Ive been to two games in the past month, and both games were three hours long. In my opinion, they seemed to go by very quickly. The Giants game last night flew by... In fact, i was bummed it was over. For how much tickets cost, i wouldn't want to go if the game didn't last longer than going to the movies.

The Red Sox are my team, however, they take a ton of pitches and have many batters who are complete fidgets in the batters box. I googled average Sox game time and did not get a quick answer but their games are 3 1/2 hours plus/minus on most nights (or so it seems ;) ).

definitely change the MLB EI blackout rules. Pretty ridiculous I'm blacked out of Dbacks and Rockies even though each team is 8+ hour car drive away. At that distance, I"m not having to make a choice every home game of going or not because it's a ridiculous travel to go see a game on a regular basis. I think the NFL has it right - a 75-mile radius from the stadium makes perfect sense as it's within a reasonable 1.5 hour car drive to go see the team if the game will be blacked out on TV.

the other thing - let Mark Cuban own a baseball club if he still wants to. Don't c-block him because he's youthful and not the 30 old farts who own teams with an old fart commish. Cuban could change the S.O.S. of the way baseball is run for the better due to being more in-touch with the young adults than the old farts are.
