I agree with you, Blibble. I'm not too fond of interleague games as it detracts from and waters down the divisional races. But I accept it as a measure Baseball instituted to freshen its image. Some of the matches provide spectacle, like Chi v. Chi and NY v. NY.

I sound like a fogey, but I loved the consistency and symmetry of the two, six-team divisions where each team played its 5 division rivals 18 times, and its out of division teams 12 times each. Interleague play has always had a bit of an artificial quality to it, especially where NL teams use the DH in midseason.
