Interesting little thread. Giving up on your team this early is ludicrous. You got a great staff and when your star returns the Cubbies will put plenty of pressure on the Central. As to the AS game, it seems only the AL cares about the home field advantage...remember that LaRussa did'nt even put Pujols (the only Card on the squad) in the game! And there was a good chance that the Cards would win the Div. at the time. If I was the NL Pres. I would have called LaRussa in and.....Oh, nevermind. Too early to get worked up.
