In the early part of the season, the National League was busting its buttons about how their league was gaining on the American League, with higher scoring teams, more young talent and of course its snobbish appeal with no designated hitter. It was very easy to drink the Kool-aid back in mid-May that this was all true, however as we head into the last six days of interleague play, a familiar tune is playing again. Thus far the senior circuit is 68-99, hardly the kind of numbers associated with success. At least two teams, Florida and Houston will have a chance for revenge at home against in-state rivals starting tonight. (Review Free Foxsheet on Texas/Houston matchup.)
