This time it counts, but should it?

If the Yankees win 110 games, should they have to lose home field advantage against a much weaker NL champ just because the NL won the ASG?

 

It's going to suck when the NL takes home field away from the Rangers tomorrow night.

 

The Rangers won't get past New York. The Yankees have the better record, playing in the much better division.

 

Poor Jetes ... always getting screwed by Da Man.

 

hahahahaha

 

The Yankees are only going to make it if A-Rod can carry Jetes on his back like he always does.

 

They can overcome it but whichever team emerges from the AL East will be the overwhelming favorite to win the World Series.

 

having home field advantage sure did help the Yankees in the 2003 World Series

 

Before the season starts, the rules are the same for every team and they know it. You play by the rules that are set, don't complain after the fact.

 

Jeter's worried because the NL has the better manager this year.

 

It's more fair than winning 108 games and not having the home field because . . . it's an odd-numbered year (see 1975 Cincinnati Reds).
