It has to be awarding home field advantage in the World Series to the winning league in the all-star game. You can't decide something as important as that on the results of an exhibition game! That makes MLB look so bush league!!

I voted for other, none of the options did anything to change the game for me but allowing Joe Buck in the broadcast booth has caused me not to watch any games carried by FOX.

PED's and inflated salaries. I've always said that if all the pro athletes got a well deserved pay cut then maybe we could fix the economy in this country.
