NL misery continues

The team from the Al that goes to the world series should send Young a case of champagne and a big thank you card. Incredible that one strike away from ending the AL dominance that the NL could be defeated again.
The game may have been a boring low scoring game for an all star game but i do have to say that for all Bud Selig has done wrong as commissioner that his idea to have the winning league get the homefield in the World Series is by far the brightest thing he has done in his tenure. It has truly restored the all star game to the level it was at for years. In the old days players truly felt it was an honor to be in the all star game and took winning it very seriously. It was before everyone was a zillionaire who played the game and guys played for pride and there was a real grudge there. Then a period existed where all it meant to the guys being paid so much was that they got the bonus built into their contracts for making it to the all star game.
I remember the games of the mid 70's and early 80's and those guys were playing hard and wanted to win. It had become a joke like the Pro Bowl and NBA all star game for awhile and its nice to see guys play hard and managers manage like they want to win now.
The all star game has truly been restored to its prior status as the only great all star game in sports and I really think that adding the incentive of home field in the World Series had a lot to do with it.
