I was a bit tired of hearing how pitchers will suffer more in the AL East. So I did some basic metric compilation from 2013 and it turns out, pretty much true. This may not come as much surprise but I was just curious so I thought I'd share.

Dude, he said he was tired of reading how pitchers suffer more in the AL East. Park factors make pitchers suffer, so it's not really relevant to point them out.

Uhhhh, you might want to read what the op wrote again (not to mention taking note of the person in the thread who asked for the park factors).
