Yeah...Carpenter blows...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Berkman, Howard, Soriano, A. Jones, Miguel Cabrera, Beltran, Delgado, Reyes, I can go on...plus, the NL has a plethora of young, very talented players- Mets alone have Reyes and Wright who are both what, 23? And are already probably the best left side of the infield in the league...

Dan Uggla, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Pujols, Beltran, Bill Hall, Jason Bay, Matt Holiday, Garret Atkins, Jeff Francoeur, Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera, Jimmy Rollins, Adrian Gonzalez, Brad Penny, Carlos Zambrano, Brandon Webb, Roy Oswalt, are all under 30 and many are under 25, and are all either all-stars or will be in the future...the NL is loaded with young talent, whereas teams like the Yankees and Red Sox are getting older and older...

younger doesn't = better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Oh come on man, Johan Santana is virtually unhittable facing against much better hitters and a tougher division. I never said carpenter is whack, just he's just not as good in terms of stuff against johan santana.

we are also missing a point as my overall argument is that the AL is much better as a whole than the NL. when it comes down to pitching, bullpen, and hitting. the AL is way more potent than the NL.

Also snova, you listed those teams that are on pretty garbage teams. Matt Holiday and Garrett Atkins? lol colorado is laughing stock of the NL. Jason Bay? Pittburgh is all i need to say. they haven't done anything since bonds left.

Dan Uggla, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, phillies? yea maybe that's some talent there but who are there pithers? Carlos Zambrano, great pitcher but the cubs have been whack for the past 100 years.

I'm not the one that said the NL has no one besides Pujols..

I also never said anything about younger=better. Fact of the matter is...younger is younger. Give them a few more years, and most of those players will be in their prime, whether or not they are still in the NL is a whole different discussion. I'm not arguing that the NL is better then the AL, I know that the AL is a better league as far as teams are concerned...the NL only has 2 legitimate teams capable of winning the WS and they both just played each other in the NLCS- however, with the AL I could have seen several teams go all the way.

However, if you take a look at the NL, with free agency being what it is, and the surplus of young talent out there, I can see several teams stepping it up over the next few years- Braves, who are loaded with young talent, Astros if they get a little offensive help, Cards will still be there, Mets of course, Phillies with a little more pitching, Florida is absolutely loaded with amazing young talent, Dodgers could improve a ton next year...

We could go on with this forever...

thats my whole argument. i dunno what these people are saying the national league is better because its more competitive. please..... but as of right now the american league is the creme of crop league.

yes sorry i did miss soriano, ryan howard, and carlos zambrano. yes florida has great young talent and same w/ the dodgers (//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif, giants fan here).

I'm not going to argue with you alpha, you seem pretty set in your ways even if you're completely blind to the truth.

right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif. at least i give arguments and facts while you repeat "the national league is competitive." please. i'm a giants fan and saw first hand how garbage the national league west. the rest of the national league didn't impress me at all besides the mets during the regular season. i guess you can't really give a good argument to argue back and forth huh?

You can still be competitive and not be good.

Look at the NL wild card chase...there were teams in the running that were under .500...it was competitive, but the teams weren't necessarily of that great.

Let's just put it this way- as far as strength, for the time being, the AL has the upper hand.
