This week’s MLB announcing schedule features more interleague play. Have we reached the point where interleague play has officially jumped the shark? It seems like it’s been going on endlessly this season for one. But most importantly, the novelty of the matchups is well past. Nevertheless, FOX, ESPN, and MLB Network will continue to roll out such glamor matchups like Yankees/Mets, Cubs/White Sox, Yankees/Braves, and Dodgers/Angels. Also, for fans of John Kruk (all 17 of you) you’re in for a treat as he spots Orel Hersheiser, who’s at the College World Series, on Sunday night.
