Quick post before I go to bed since I have 2 exams tomorrow, but I’ve GOT to comment on this utter crap.

They are going to give homefield advantage to the team that wins the All-Star game in baseball. Now everybody in baseball knows this is a reaction to last years All-Star Game tie, but folks, I am sorry. The All-Star Game is an EXHIBITION game! This is a time for players to rest. Baseball MEANT to put their All-Star Game in the middle of the season to give the players a break, and that was back when the schedule was only 154 games long. Now that it’s 162, it’s even more important to rest the players. NOW we expect the best ball players this country has to offer to go out there and bust their ass for homefield advantage - something they might not even have a shot at since their team probably won’t go to the playoffs.

But Goob, you might find yourself saying, it’s just homefield advantage. It’s not THAT huge. Oh skippy, how nieve you really are…going back into the early 1970s, EACH AND EVERY World Series that went to a Game 7 (which is played on the “home” field) has WON! That means every singel World Series game 7 I’ve seen in my life has had the home team come out on top.

And even if baseball wanted to make the All-Star game a little more exciting and meaningful, this was clearly not the first step. Let’s try eliminating the rule that says each team must have 1 representing player. You think the 3-23 Detriot Tigers deserve an ALl-Star?! Are you kidding me?! And homefield advantage for the WORLD SERIES could come down to a DETRIOT TIGER?! HELLO!!!!!!!! I swear to god I’ve woken up in Bizaro World….

But like I said, this is just a reaction to last year’s game. Baseball wants to keep happy the people in high places who shell out $500 to go watch one of these pointless games just so they can pull out their cell phone and look important whenever the camera shines on them. So how would I suggest determining the method for which team gets home-field advantage?!?!

How about the team with the best record?? Or is that too simple for the thugs in charge of baseball……..
