Well, another MLB all star game has come and gone.  The American League won (again).  I knew they would.  Maybe the Chicago Cubs’ luck has worn off on the whole National League?  This, yet another, victory for the American League means the World Series home field advantage will once again go to the American League team.

I know the whole “this time it counts” marketing for the all star game is because Bud Selig is trying to save some face for calling the all star game a tie that one year, but deciding on World Series home field advantage isn’t really fair.  Home field advantage in the post season should be decided by which of the 2 teams had the better record.  If the records are the same, go on their record within their division, or even their record in interleague play.  To award a team home field advantage because the NL all stars aren’t as good as the AL all stars is just not a good idea.

It’s not fair to the teams playing, it’s not fair to the fans watching, and we all know Bud Selig is an idiot anyway.  Let the all star game be the meaningless, awesome display of talent that it used to be, and stop trying to make it into something it’s not - just for the purpose of making people forget that the commissioner is a moron.
