Beef? http://uberpocky.com/2008/07/17/all-star-beef/ http://uberpocky.com/2008/07/17/all-star-beef/#comments Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:48:11 +0000 Joe Troiani http://uberpocky.com/?p=399 I have a beef with the All-Star game. Actually I have a couple of beefs. The simplest of which, is: NL Lost. Let’s start with the Line Score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Runs Hits Errors
National League 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 13 4
American League 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 14 1

So the Cubs do not get home field advantage for the World Series. All this means, we gotta win off our own turf. Job for the second half: get some wins on the road. Improve that away record.

Now: on to my real beef about the all star game this year. It was more about the Yankees and Yankee Stadium then the PLAYERS. This made me quite angry. I know It’s Yankee Stadium’s last year. I know there’s alot of history there. But the new one is EXACTLY like the old one, except bigger. I don’t understand how Fox made the decision to cover this like they did. They should have spent more time on the All-Stars. And they seemed to favor the American League in every way! *sigh* Oh well. /rant over
