How did he wreck the all-star game, I prefer it to mean something. (although it is kind of an odd way to decide home advantage)

I hate the 'everyone has to play' rule. I realize there are tons of people there who want to see their favorite player play in the all star game, but if there is someone better than him, WHY SHOULD HE BE PLAYING? It's professional sports, not little league, and especially with home field advantage on the line, you should be doing what you can to win- not to make everyone go home happy.

if the all-star game is going to mean something, play it like a normal game. You wouldn't use pitchers on Tuesday that had just been used on Sunday and your starters if playing well shouldn't be benched...the whole thing is dumb. It was a great game this year but the system is retarded.

Here's the problems with the current allstar system. The game matters for home field in the world series and it's a popularity contest.

The solutions are one of the following:

1. If players get voted in by fans, players, coaches, and it's a popularity contest, the game cannot matter in the scheme of things. It's an exhibition, and that's it. Fans get to see their favorite players show off, and then we get back to real games. Home field in the world series is determined by the best record in the regular season.

2. The game matters, and determines home field in the world series, but players are determined by statistics. Best players only. No more 1 person for each team, this is hardcore best of the best baseball. Every position has the best players in the game, and coaches play this game like it's game 7 in the playoffs. Fuck the fans, this game means something.

I say option #1, because that's the way it should be done, and the way it was done long ago, before stupid people cared about ties. The game doesn't matter, so why does the outcome matter at all.
