    The MLB is such a joke. This game decides home field advantage for the world series, yet Jeter is a starter. I have no problem with the fans voting for starters, but the whole world series home field advantage thing is probably the dumbest thing in all of sports.

    And Chris Sale gets snubbed...I guess 8-1 with a 2.16 ERA isn't good enough.

    Anyone going to the All-Star Game? Just won a trip to the ASG in a two-day MLB dot com fantasy baseball competition that had nearly 18K participants the other day. Really excited. Never been to Target Field before, let alone Minneapolis except for a connecting flight.


    Nice going! =D>

    I love MN; target field is not quite as nice as the top tier of new stadiums but it's decent....the twins are another matter.

    yes.....deciding home field advantage is dumb......bud selig is dumb.

    Thanks! I'm pretty ecstatic about it all. Glad to see four Dodgers make it onto the NL roster as well. Hope that Kershaw starts. He deserves it. Target Field will be the 12th MLB ballpark I've visited. I've seen the classics, so I'm looking forward to seeing a newer ballpark.

    I agree with the WS home field advantage but I guess they need some way to spice it up and make it competitive. Still think WS home field should go to the team with the better record so that it makes a team's regular season efforts worthwhile.

    I'm still fascinated by the spectacle of the All-Star Game and have been ever since I was a kid and Bo Jackson starred in the game in Anaheim. This will actually be my third ASG after 2010 and '11. Can't wait!

    but this time it counts though.

    It's unreal how dumb it is. I really hope that whoever takes over for Selig gets rid of this nonsense their first day in office.

    Home field is most definitely dumb as hell.

    This isn't the best article ever written, but I largely agree, obviously

    I lasted about 5 minutes with the HR derby. I remember how excited I used to get for All star Monday when I was younger...now I really don't give a shit.

    Why would they reduce the outs but then add players and rounds? It's become so boring.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Kinda weird that they didn't honor or really mention Tony Gwynn at the all start game last night.

    Nope. The over the top Jeter-fest took all the time and attention away from everything else

    Does Jeter even have a batting title? Why are they treating this like Wayne Gretzky/Micheal Jordan are retiring?

    He's a shortstop.

    I thought he was a halfback

    Well if you knew that then you probably shouldn't have asked such a pointless question. How many shortstops have won a batting title? I would say less than 10 in the history of baseball. And as if you have to have won a batting title to be a hall of fame player who is the face of baseball.
