Enough hype. Well, maybe not. I'm posting this more than two hours before game time, so I'm sure all of you can get into some more arguments about the game, the players, the announcers, the city it's being played in... just about anything, really.
Given the fact that you were all so chatty last night, I'll have an overflow thread posted at 9:00 pm CDT.

Two Cubs are starting the ASG for the first time since 1991 (Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg). Ben Sheets is the first Brewer to ever be a starting All-Star pitcher. And Cliff Lee is the first Cleveland Indian to be the starting pitcher since 1996 (Charles Nagy). Which also happens to be the last time the NL won the game. Way past time to change that.
The game's on Fox. Thus, if you want to avoid Joe Buck & Tim McCarver & the 1,157 dugout reporters, you can turn the sound off, or "check local listings" for a radio affiliate. Here's the Mediacenter link for those of you with MLB.TV or MLB Audio.

Didn't
Ramirez and Lee start in ‘05??

I checked...
yes, Ramirez and Lee started for the 2005 NL team. Maybe there was an injury and one was not going to originally start…

I'm
holding out as much hope as I can that the world series has 4 games at Wrigley Field and a NL victory will make it so. We all agree that the time has come, we’re way overdue.
This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).
by mrcubsfan on Jul 15, 2008 5:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
that is why this game matters.
However, I believe home field should go to the team with the best record. i don’t believe that the All Star Game should count.
by GateCity, VA Cubs Fan on Jul 15, 2008 5:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Kind of interesting
Bud Selig was on Mike and Mike and he said the reason that the best record doesn’t get it, is because it would be too hard to get hotels and such with such a short notice. Therefore, it gives them some sort of breathing room when they know if it will be an AL or NL team.

I still don't get that.
They do it for the NLCS and ALCS when they don’t know who the teams are. Why is the WS different?

Not only that.. they don't know who the city will be until a few days to a week
before the series. Unless they have some NBA stuff going on if you know what I mean. And we are talking about one game. So there will be 4 games in that city instead of 3. Does that make a difference?

not to defend selig
but October is high tourism/convention season, so there is more than a grain of truth to his assertion. Hotels at that time are notoriously difficult to book in sufficient room blocks to accommodate a major sporting event.

In October
very often every hotel in the city, including craptastic ones are completely sold out. It happens often in Chicago and it happened to me more than once in DC… had to book a Holiday Inn in some far beyond nowhere suburb an hour outside of the city. Trust me - yeah I know ;}—it t happens. I’m reporting from professional and personal experience.

That I don't know
if it’s one team, it’s a deal with Hyatt or whoever. If it’s bringing the world to the city for a series that’s a different story.

My point is just that...teams have been able to get rooms...
it’s not MLB’s obligation to make sure the world has easy, immediate access to a hotel room. You want to go to the WS? Buy a ticket and find a way to get there.

Simplistic? Are we arguing the same thing?
I understand Selig’s rational to be “we can’t give the team with the best record home-field for the WS because it won’t give the teams enough time to find/book hotel rooms for their organization.”
You?
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Jul 15, 2008 6:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well sort of.
I’m arguing can’t book rooms for a World Series. Sounds like he’s arguing can’t book rooms for their organization. Unless I know the numbers I can’t say whether or not the organizational argument in valid or not. I do know that the World Series rooms for everybody, including press, organization, etc. is.

using that rational as the basis for keeping the current AS Game Winner getting WS HF Advantage Rule is ridonkulous.
Just like Bud Selig.

Then What You Do
is set up a lucrative co-branding deal with Hyatt, Hilton, or bloody Motel 6 if need be, whereby you have those chains reserve rooms in the big league cities likely to be postseason game hosts. Hell, have MLB kick in the extra cash it would take to add on to the existing banks of rooms!
Bud the Pud is just making excuses, trying to justify a piss-poor decision he made.

Um you do NOT want 4 games
I don’t need the tension of 7 games. A sweep with the first two at Wrigley is fine with me.

in that case, you don’t want home field advantage, because that way you sweep in four and win the second two at home.

Agree that it is getting a bit over the top...
...but I guess people like and need stories these days about triumph in the face of adversity (even if it’s self-inflicted adversity).

Good morning from Okinawa. Today’s game will be televised live on NHK HD – I will watch on 1080i HD…. it will be fun.
In Japan, we have 2 All Star Games by NPB in 2 different ballparks every year – Game 1 in Osaka and Game 2 in Yokohama this year. We had 3-game series previously, so it was longer break for players who don’t participate it…

Selig's "State of MLB Address"...read this ridiculousness:
MLB commissioner Bud Selig gave a state of the game address on Tuesday. Among his key points:
• Instant replay could be in place for this season’s postseason.
• Baseball is looking into the threat of maple bats shattering and injuring players.
• The winning league in the All-Star Game getting home-field advantage in the World Series is a success.
• Certain teams need new ballparks to remain viable.
• Despite economic struggles in the country, baseball is doing well.

My company...
has had 4 loge box seats near home at Yankee Stadium for years. I found out last week that when the invoice came for ASG tickets they declined them because they weren’t sure who would use them or what they’d do with them.
I was speechless.
Then again, the Home Run Derby tickets were $600 each—and you had to buy all 3 days worth. Almost six grand total.
