    Right. And that can be fixed if they change how they put the rosters together.

    So, because the three things they've done haven't resulted in good results they should just blow it all up?

    If they put some statistical requirements in that might help matters some.

    It generates too much revenue to just get rid of it.

    Online voting starts in the last week of April. That needs to be changed to the first week in June.

    They used to have two all star games. My distant relative made the 1955 game for St. Louis. Vinegar Bend Mizell was a pitcher then turned Congressman for Missouri.

    no, the players picked him.

    Boston outfielder J.D. Drew, catcher Jason Varitek and closer Jonathan Papelbon were picked by a vote of AL players.

    Gross!! I cannot believe to players were that wrong. They must really hate A.J..

    Re: 2008 ASG Rosters

    If the game is going to be as important as home field advantage, then there should be a better way of picking who goes. A lot of the players do deserve to be there however there are a few who don't.

    I agree

    they need to get rid of that stupid thing where the winner determines which league gets HFA in the WS.
