Soak it in, Chris. The past week has helped remind me why baseball always has been and always will be the best.

Montero whining already. He couldn't have waited a week?

he is known as a 'great guy/team mate', but this is ridiculous. maybe if he hit over .200 AND could throw to second base he would have played more. STFU and don't let the door hit you in ass.

Kate Upton is flipping out on Twitter and it is glorious.

He probably would have won if he didn't make us all look at his average as hell penis and jizz shot. Karma is a bitch.

I'm genuinely shocked that the voters didn't screw it up this time. Although some of them tried... one voter had Beltre first and Trout seventh. People should have to have some knowledge of the sport they're voting on, shouldn't they?

Its actually just a person that wants to boost Beltre's Hall of Fame case.

That's even dumber than I expected, and it still doesn't explain the best player in the world being 7th.

Tentative 5 year labor deal in place. As part of the agreement the pennant winner with the best record will have home field advantage in the World Series.

Oh thank god. The AS thing is such a bad idea

I don't get the vitriol for the ASG thing. I'm not saying it's ideal, but how is it any worse than just alternating years? At least the with ASG method homefield was earned in some respect.

I hated the ASG deciding it but I'm with you on this. It was slightly better than the alternating year method, but giving it to the pennant winner with the best record is the best way to go.

But it's just a funny exhibition game. Players opt out for little nothing reasons. The roster is decided in large part by fans. Pitchers go for at most two innings. Managers try to get their entire roster into the game at some point. Just let it be fun, let's not pretend that it's important.

[Norah]

Yeah, I get that. There was just this notion that it needed to "go back to how it was before 2002!" but it was decided in a pointless and arbitrary way then too.
