[T Park]

Ryan Ludwick

leads the major leagues in road Home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage.


Ryan Ludwick should and better be a reserve outfielder for the National League this July.

He's certainly deserving.

Although, being the fan of a team who plays in a league where the all-star team is just the Yanks and BoSox (where guys like Pedroia and his sub-.700 OPS is leading the vote at 2b), I've chosen to view the all-star game as a complete joke and give it no relevance whatsoever.

it has relevance now that it decides who has home field advantage.

so you're the one guy that actually cares about that?

I think the whole "This Time it Counts" thing is dumb. I don't think home field advantage is that much of a big deal in baseball.

Three teams in all of MLB have winning road records this year. 3!

Make up your mind what your gonna argue.

Home field advantage means everything in all sports.

I do care about it....I just feel better if my team has it. I dont think it makes as much difference as in basketball, but Id rather be up 2-0 then down 0-2.

'Everything?'

It's proven to be a mild advantage - at best - in baseball over the years.
