OT - This one shouldn't count GNT

I know they want to make it "important". But it's an All-Star Game. Homefield advantage should be like all the other sports. Best record. That said, I think the AL makes it 8 in a row tonight. MVP? I'll go Josh Hamilton.

how about that world cup?

good stuff.

I agree , Home field or ice should be determined by the best record, not some ridicules "all star" game that has nothing to do with the final team's involved. It's farce IMO.

I agree totally. I remember when the players played the game for the pride in representing your league. Putting home field advantage for the world series on the line is as dumb as it gets. Thanks Bud Selig

Good to see you back Boss. I hope everything gets back to normal soon

In the meantime, it's probably the only reason I will watch

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

I always get nervous this time of year...

hoping GB isn't watching TV thinking... "hey.. that's not a bad idea...."

They're just about to come back from the anthem commercial break.

al makes it 8 in a row? they have won since 96.

If they win tonight, AL makes it 8 in a row, yeah.

 

[scottflyers88]

no the al has won since 96. this makes it 14 in a row.

 

[naslundfan19]

Nope. Remember the tie?

 

[scottflyers88]

ok the nl has not won since 96.

 

[scottflyers88]

they are unbeaten since 96.

 

[naslundfan19]

they are unbeaten since 96.

Yep.

The American League has taken advantage of the new rule every year since its inception; the National League (whose last win was in 1996) has yet to do so.

i really hate hate hate this game...and my team doesn't really get hurt by it. it's the most ridiculous way to decide home field advantage ever. it's a crap shoot...the AL has the better hitters every year and that's why they win it every year, but why should the NL team get screwed out of an advantage in the WS? don't even get me started on the DH situation.

 

[scottflyers88]

who cares. homefield advantage is backwards. 2 at home then 3 on the road? i would rather not have it.

 

[scottflyers88]

boring. almost as much as joe buck.
