I don't think we disagree on much. Except for that Yankees thing.<br /><br />I think it's silly to have the extra WS game pegged to the ASG, but I also don't care, because home field advantage in the WS is such a minor factor. I just heard someone the other day claiming that it helped the Giants last year -- but in fact the Giants won in five, meaning that there were only two games at China Basin and three in Texas.Jonathan Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931039630306253241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-59132385969956911202011-07-09T13:12:11.616-05:002011-07-09T13:12:11.616-05:00I don't fault you for doing it this way.

But this is a reason why home field in the world series shouldn't be decided by the all star game. Besides, what do you play 162 games for if not for those game to decide the structure of the playoffs?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955054735802185726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-48473822874822355072011-07-09T10:35:53.282-05:002011-07-09T10:35:53.282-05:00You and Joe Sheehan would get along, when it comes...You and Joe Sheehan would get along, when it comes to picking an All-Star team.Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.com
