All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

OT: Baseball All-Star winner to determine World Series Home Field!
Baseball owners unanimously approved commissioner Bud Selig's proposal to have the league that wins the All-Star Game get home-field advantage in the World Series.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Baseball owners unanimously approved commissioner Bud Selig's proposal to have the league that wins the All-Star Game get home-field advantage in the World Series.
That is a great idea imho! Do you think the players will go for it?
I will go out on a limb and say that a tie will probably never happen again, and if homefield advantage was on the line last year they would not have run out of pitchers no way....
Don't like it, don't like it at all. Why not just toss a coin or pick 2 cities before the season starts and award it to them like the NFL and it's Superbowl. Hate the idea.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.
It's a lot better than the even year/odd year rotation between the AL and NL. I agree that it should be based on your team's record, but this is the second best solution. It'll also add some fun to the all-star game.
I also think it's a bad idea. IMO it should be based on a teams record. Or if they were division winners over wild card. But to base it on the All-Star game is silly. Especially if a team makes it to the series, gets home field advantage and none of their players even played in the All-Star game.
See me here pushing you
If I then deny I do
Contemplate or wish away
If I ask you not to stay
It's hard to make a home field advantage call in baseball since the NL and AL play different baseball. It would not be apples to apples.
This kicks the crap out of the 'alternating years' way of doing it, and adds luster to an otherwise boring, uninspiring 'exhibition' game. This is for the fans!
BTW, I agree that a tie won't happen again.
