Big HR for Kris Bryant in the first.

Why is the NL the visiting team?

The NL is hosting four straight games.

My favorite all-star game is 1989.

Boggs, Bo w/ back to back.

Nolan gets the win.

Nice pick by Rizzo at first to end the inning.

Cueto grooving pitches to his old teammates?

Maybe...

I assumed that Ortiz was getting an 88 mph "fastball" down the pipe. But the game counts now so...

Hosmer is such a dewsher

Dammit, Bryant.

Papi! sniff..

I guess now that Ortiz drew a walk, he will get the MVP votes.

Great play

Papi didn't realize Rizzo was mic'd up. He dropped a pretty solid F bomb before heading back to the dugout for the pinch runner.

This chick has a killer body.

How were these teams selected? 4 Cubs starting infield? Cmon

Since I had season tickets to the red sox in 86 I haven't paid much attention. I assume the teams are voted in by the fans except for reserves and pitchers. Is that right Junkhead?

It's been a fan vote since your season ticket holder days.

Pretty awful God Bless America

Cool. Thanks. Was wondering how the Rangers are in 1st and have few dudes on team.

Solid and deep team. Few superstars. Could've made a case for Andrus and Beltre but that's about it.

Stupid ****ing Cardinal watching strike three with the bases loaded and two outs in the 8th.

I concur. Ridiculous.

It makes the game interesting and actually mean something. The Pro Bowl sucks and is nothing more than touch football, and the NBA ASG is like watching playoff Jordan vs Harden's defense. Both snoozers and not interesting after a few minutes. I like how home field is determined in baseball.

Who cares if an exhibition game is boring? Why not let on field results in actual games that matter determine who has home field in a potential Game 7 of the sport's championship especially now that there is interleague play every day of the season? I question the mental capacity of anyone who thinks this is a good idea.

So, you'd prefer to go back to the old way of alternating home field advantage every year? NL on even years and AL on odd years? That's the way it was prior to the ASG determining it. Or would you prefer a NL team that won 87 games get home field over an AL team that had a much tougher schedule and won 84 games? Or would a #2 AL seed get home field over a #4 NL seed?

I'd be more OK with the ASG determining home field advantage if they did away with mandatory representation and maybe fan voting.

Fan voting seems wrong but truth is most of the time they get it right and the best players start.

Home field to the best record between the two remaining teams, pretty simple really.

Like I said in my previous post, let actual records determine home field advantage. It's pretty simple. Teams in the NBA don't play the exact same schedules but yet records determine home court advantage there. Same goes for hockey.Would you rather they change it to be like baseball so their All Star games actually matter?

So are you advocating the World Series be played at a neutral site?

In the NBA, rarely are the East and West even. Recently, the west has been the more powerful conference, thus has home court more. The east had their run as well. In baseball, the AL has typically been the more powerful division. Don't know about hockey since I'm not from Canada.

Would I like the NBA to change theirs? I wouldn't immediately dismiss it. As it is now, the ASG for the NBA is nothing more than a high scoring and no defense game. Some like the alley-oops, others like the constant dunks, and I think the NBA will stick with it. To me, that's boring, and I don't watch anything other than the 3-point contest. For the Pro Bowl, I don't watch it. I do watch the MLB ASG due to it actually having meaning and the players seem to actually try.
