Great job, Ken.
The Ross and Rachel comment killed me!
Nice job Ken!
While I wasn't available to participate, I read the transcript of the live chat and enjoyed the give and take. Great idea and I hope it is at least a weekly event. It's a real good way of getting readers more involved. Thanks for doing it, Ken.
Anyone that read through these transcripts need to get a life. Having said that, Ken I too like the All-Star game home field angle, only because its better than the stupid alternative that they were using. Every other year. I still remember the Mets having to play Game 6 and 7 in Houston even though we won 108 games!! So dumb.
But a better idea would be which league has the best interleague record.
Of course the best way is like the person said, best record.
Not that I read the transcript though.
Yo Richie G, that was me who suggest that Home Field Advantage for the World Series should go to the team with the best record. Pairing it with the All-star game was stupid. Granted the AL has won the Al-star game since 1997, and has won the game since they put in this format in 2003. Like I said, the NBA does it for the NBA Finals, and the NHL does it for the Stanley Cup Finals. I don't understand why Baseball doesn't do it that way.
Thanks for the "compliment" Richie G. Maybe Ken would like it if no one read his work?
Dennis--I don't understand why NCAA Football doesn't have a tournament to name its national championship. Oh, maybe I do and it may be the same reason why Selig did this to baseball--bowl games draw ratings for ESPN and an All-Star Game that "means something" may draw ratings to Fox. That said, I don't watch the All-Star Game anymore, and I certainly wouldn't go near the HR Derby hosted by Chris (My mouth is too big for my fat body) Berman.
Jim, I obviously was jokiing since I obviously read it. I just found it sad that I read a live chat thing. I'm not to keen on admitting reading blogs either. But since I'm a fairly regular contributer to Newsday's blogs and Ken's specifically, I obviously enjoy his work.
Dennis, I agree with you 100%. If hockey the poorest of all sports can do it, certainly MLB can.
