So why is the AL the home team in an NL park?

[jjgott]

They've awarded All-Star Games to a bunch of NL ballparks in a row so they needed to make the AL the home team for some of them.

Luuuuuuuuc!

I don't really mind home-field being decided by the all-star game, but if that's gonna be the case at least pick the team and manage the game like it matters.

 

Tough lefty Andrew Miller comes in, and you send in lefties Belt and Bruce to face him in the first 3 batters? Turns out every righty that faced him reached base.

Kind of a dud of a game. Wonder if the NL would have done better if Ryan Braun had at least been sitting on the bench.
