AL wins interleague again

[9RoyHobbsRF]

2012 results AL 142 NL 110

Texas went 14-4 Colorado went 2-13

some reasons I have heard for this include:
- better management, better GMs
- better and higher payrolls

I dont think the Whitesox did too well this year. The Cubs, Dodger's, Cardinals and Astros all won series vs em. Although the Sox did sweep the Cubs in Wrigley so that was somewhat worthwhile. I used to really enjoy interleague but even these Cub series are getting boring.

good point. the big market teams like boston, NY play a role but there are also less "suck" teams in the AL.

I think the smarter GMs/managers) also play a role. I think the sabermetric approach is much bigger in the AL while in the NL tradional guys dominate. the red sox use this stuff a lot (ok they are not really good right now) and a lot of AL teams now use maddons radical defensive alignments. they also know how to construct lineups and less frequently use terms like "he's a gamer" (since you are a giants fan you know that phrase).
