Cubs have about 907 hard hit balls and all of them are getting caught. I'd say he is lucky.

Baseball is stupid

I miss Wrigley. Cubs would be winning by a lot there.

Do the Cubs ever score in any NL West park not named Coors?

Rich Harden has to hate playing for the Cubs already.

Have the Cubs ever scored off of Randy Johnson?

I didn't know he wasn't on the D'backs anymore in the first place.

As someone who loves the Packers as much as I love the Cubs. I want Favre to go away.

I'd consider the Cotton Bowl as a 5th location possibility.

That article made me really hate Joe Crede. I hate guys with kids. They suck.

I think if Harden stays healthy we will prove to be good on the road and it will be a moot point. Especially because I think Hendry will make a trade that will improve this team at the deadline.

From a Pirates stand point I don't see why you would trade for Bay, unless you got Rasmus for him, this Pirates can score some runs. If they found a way to get even decent pitching they would be a pretty good ball club, especially in the crappy National League.

So best record is fair, now? The Celtics beat up on the weak Eastern Conference this year and got home court in the NBA finals. Same could happen every year in baseball. Why not use league vs. league interleague record? This way the stronger league gets HFA. The AL is clearly a better league this year and interleague proved it. Let them have HFA. would that be the same Boston Celtics team that went 25-5 against the West last year? yeah, don't let facts get in the way of your arguments I think the point is a valid one though. Imaginary good team X when put in the NL West could go 100-62 and get the best record. Imaginary good team X when put in the AL Esst could go 92-70 and get the 2nd or third best record. Same team, but the schedule surely plays a huge part. If you take AL inter league record vs NL inter league record you still bring up the issue of having other teams decide who get home field advantage. If the Cubs go undefeated against the NL teams lose all or most of their games making the AL have more wins. This doesn't tell me that the Cubs are worse than the AL it tells me that the rest of the NL sucks. I think maybe BCS style rating system for who gets home field that takes into strength of schedule and how you do against it or since that may be way to much to decide home field (it probably is) maybe you could do how the teams did head to head (if they played) or if they didn't play how they did in inter league. And eve this would be flawed. The one thing I know is though, you can't have it decided by an exhibition game where a player from a crappy team could decide it and having it every other year seems fair on the surface but it really isn't either.

I want to punch Bud Selig

I really hate being pissed about the freakin' all star game.

I really hope this is the last year that this game decides home field advantage.

And all the guys pitching recently could be in the World Series so the game effects them. The games about to end now though.

Drew is a jerk for helping this game go 15

I though Youk had a beer for a second.

LUDWICK!!! (I need a shower)

Please do well Lidge. I really want to see position pitchers pitch

The decision to pitch Kazmir has Francona losing some hair I see.

It really looks like he's just throwing fast balls for the sake of ending the game.

It's simple. No HFA from the ASG and just call it a tie McCarver.

I think Kazmir should just lob one up to save his arm.
