I think Normal Normal Normal might be my favorite period of play. When managers start yanking relief pitchers just for the sake of doing so, the game loses its appeal.

I'm 31 and while I do think using Left specialists etc is ok and even adds a bit to the strategy for me. I hate the shift, with a passion and think it should be outlawed, can't stand wild cards, especially this 1 game play off crap after a team plays 162 games and finishes 5 ahead of a team why should they be subject to a 1 game playoff is just, well stupid.
I like to use today's game but realign the divisions to just East and West winner of each division is in the playoffs. I usually add 1 team to each league to balance out 2 8 team divisions per league, get rid of the DH and interleague play.
