Default Bud Selig continues to mess with integrity of the game..

This is not a steroid issue and Selig knew what was going on then but this is more of a LIVE contreversey call right now...

Forget the 1994 season and forget the STEROID ERA....

Let me put up an example and say the NL Wildcard goes up against the best team in the AL but because the NL won the all-star game then does the National league deserve home field advantage in the World Series?

That makes sense that knowing Bud Selig gives the power to that little snot nosed 7 year old girl named Shirley to determine the outcome of home field advantage...

I just don't get it and I'm willing to bet 1000 credits that Yao Ming will be voted into the NBA All-star game next year...

Yao Ming should be voted in every year until he dies just for being the tallest chinese guy ever.

Yeah, now that the Dodgers actually have best record, this game suddenly means more to me. Need that NL win.

I am all for a Baseball IQ test that fans have to take before they are allowed to vote. This would however limit the voting to online only.

Believe me, you have nothing to worry about.

The game should not count. I mean, if you are going to make it count, the fans should have no vote at all. This is just Selig trying to make up for his dumbass decision years ago.
