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
