Originally posted by quagmire View PostI like the ASG, but I agree with you on its influence on the postseason. It should go back to alternating every year who gets home field advantage during the WS or the team who had the best regular season record.Please help. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last summer, and now I'm in a position where I need financial assistance. For the full story, please check out my GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/3874ea2d. Thank you.

Originally posted by milladrive View PostI may be biased -- and frankly, I despise the ASG, especially with its influence on the postseason -- but it's about time.
The NBA game is an offensive explosion, the Pro Bowl is a glorified flag football game (and may get deep sixed), and the NHL always has some gimmicky premise.
MLB feels most like a real game with a score you might expect in a regular season game.

It escapes me why MLB won't just have the World Series team with the better record have the home-field advantage in the Series. The NBA and NHL do this for their championship series without any problems (and of course, the NFL stages their championship game at a neutral site selected years in advance, so there is absolutely no controversy)I guess baseball just has to be different.

an exhibition game deciding home field advantage for the world series championship is still arguably the dumbest idea in sports and will continue to be until it's changed."all the mets road wins against the dodgers this year have occured at Dodger Stadium"---Ralph Kiner
"Blind people came to the park just to listen to him pitch"---Reggie Jackson, talking about Tom Seaver

If I lived in Seattle, I'd rather Japan get the All-Star game than give up a home game.
The Superdome in New Orleans has occasionally had baseball as well.

I dont think any one should be that suprised its pretty much a given if you build a new stadium, or in the case of Kansas City this year do big renovations, you get an All-Star Game. 2014 will probably be in Minnesota and then Miami in 2015.Lets Go Yankees, Valley Cats, Dutchmen, UT Spartans and ECU Pirates.
