  1. Especially after this That game was the reason WHY they did it. I couldn't care less about this because the alternating years method that they employed before this was just about as dumb. How would you decide home field? I personally don't have a problem with the alternating years method. The way it's done now with the ASG is flat out dumb. I don't think it's fair to allow the team with the better record to do it because the two WS teams played only a couple of the same opponents during the year. At least with home-field within the NL, the two teams still played a majority of games against the same teams. And if you use interleague record, I don't think that's fair either because you're allowing teams who don't even make the playoffs to help decide which league gets home field. name me a professional sport where every team plays the exact same schedule haha, pretty much every professional soccer league in Europe. They might play extra games that don't count towards the league championship, but everyone plays the exact same schedule for the league. everyone knows soccer doesn't count ;)

  3. B&B were hyping this when I was in Chicago. it's as awesome as they promised and be warned, there are more of these ads coming
  4. i give that guy credit though, i was sure he would go for the "aramis doesn't hustle" angle but he held back
  5. i'd love Soriano to go to the All-Star game, take one at-bat and then get pulled from the game. He got the votes, let him get his glory. Better than some less-deserving guy to get in due to injury
  6. at least NBC will have live streaming of every event online. I usually don't watch the Olympics when they're multiple timezones away, because ESPN (no to mention the evening news) likes telling you the results of everything before they air the tape-delayed events. what's the point?
  7. According to Len Kasper, the maple bats are part of the CBA, so Selig or the MLB can't just say "no more maple" mid-season
  8. I heard the Cardinals get magic pixie dust from their scoreboard
  9. something about having the best team ERA in the league pre-Cubs series
  10. holy crap, if Penn State plays Tennessee (again) in the Outback Bowl (again) I just might shoot myself
  11. i have to imagine that if Miami doesn't want Beasley, they'll trade down
  12. Hey, Bill! Beltre Sexson Bedard Washburn Vidro Wilkerson Johjima Should I keep going?
  13. FWIW, the stuff with Rob and I was completely tongue in cheek.
  14. They really, really need a minimum bat thickness that is significantly bigger than it is now. Or the end of Maple bats. apparently their is a shortage on Ash and the bats are really expensive right now. Maple isn't working out though
  15. Lee with another Pierre there. lucky for the error
  16. i just went outside and thought to myself "I'm going to miss a Fukudome HR". creepy
  17. good start by AJ Burnett so far
  18. these e*trade commercials are creepy to the nth degree
