Well I'm talking about the process. The whole system. And your parochial ass can't get past this game. Move been saying its the whole system the entire time. What more do I need to say then the whole thing needs to be fixed?

Its the f**king all star game. Just enjoy it and quit getting your panties in a bunch

You would have no problem if it was a Cardinal. They just dont have anyone worthy of it. You guys take this game way too seriously anyway. The Dodgers will probably be in the WS anyway and I dont want them getting home field. LOL

Lol Exactly when it's Albert's last year he'll be all for it. Regardless that he'll probably be wearing an Angels jersey.

Pretty sure they did it for Gwynn and Ripken too.

Just seems a bit over done now. This whole season has been about Jeter. Dude is getting gifts from teams on every road trip, everywhere you look on Sportscenter/etc, talked about non stop. Like Pete said, he was a good player, but they're acting like he is Babe Ruth or something.

Because he played on the most popular team, handled himself with great humility and was a great representative of the game, never got in trouble, and was damn good. It had some to do with the Yankees, and some to do with him. He deserves the respect.

Played his entire career for one team, has been great with fans, never in trouble, and a great player. Think of the guys who are most beloved in last 30 years... Gwynn, Ripken, and Jeter. All the same

Of course I wouldn't. Same goes to you with the Giants. I WOULD understand if opposing fans were annoyed by it though.

Ya we take it seriously. It has meaning now.

WS homefield advantage needs to be decided by who had the best regular season record. It's the only fair way for baseball to do it.

Brewers keep bailing us out.

Or since there are so many inter league games, which league won the most games.

I'm not sure that is fair either. If you play in a very tough division the chances are your record will be worse than a team in an easy division.

Here is the best way to do it.................. just alternate leagues like it was before.

No. The team has no say in that. If the cards are the best team, they deserve homefield.

So.. lets say the Braves have a better record than the A's and they play in the WS. A's play in a very tough division with 3 very good teams while the Braves get to play against Miami, NY, and Philly. You think the Braves should get home field?
