Question.. before the All-Star Game decided home field advantage, was HFA decided by record or did it rotate every year?
Rotated, as it should still be doing now

Why would we? The Cubs had the best record in the league, they should have home field. I've been bitching about this for years. It's only worse this year because the Cubs finally make the World Series, they get robbed of something they rightfully earned.

Trying to explain anything to a person from Cleveland with logic and reason is basically impossible. Their collective IQ in that whole cesspool of a city makes Forest Gump look like a genius.

Alternated I think.

LOL. 1 game. Sox fans don't want the Cubs to win because they wouldn't be able to pretend that 1 WS title is equal to the 27 the Yankees won. Hell, that title is barely recognized as it is.

The fucking 2-1 pitch was right over the plate.

I don't think he's from Cleveland.

When a guy pitches like that you just have to hand it to him and move on. Lester has battled all night but got rattled by baserunners and an inconsistent zone early. It happens. This is hard game to be angry about and it's not like they still don't have a shot.

I have never liked the ASG deciding home field, but have no complaint with it just because we have best tecord.

It is what it is. Deal with it and win.

I also have never liked 2-3-2, which opens possibility if team with home field advantage losing a series in which they plsyed fewer at home. Cleveland has that to complain about.

Just win, baby.

I'm glad they are using Miller tonight. No matter what happens in game 1, we'll be ready tomorrow.

Bauer is not the pitcher Kluber is.

There is no statistical evidence that baserunners rattle Lester. He had something like a 2.95 ERA in games with multiple stolen bases. His command wasn't great and he was getting squeezed early. It happens.
