Home Field

Finally.  The NL wins again.

I only have three things to say:

1. Thank God someone else's team boasts the loser.  After being saddled with three losses in the last 4 games, I had my fingers crossed.
2. Home Field will mean more to the NL than the AL.  The top two home records at the break (Atlanta, Mets) are NL teams.  San Diego's home record is a not-too-shabby 27-19, and this team is built for this ballpark. It would be all kinds of awesome for the Padres to make the World Series, and host 4 of the 7 games.  Heck, they might even win the thing.
3. Marlon Byrd should have been the MVP.  Brian McCann's double can't happen without Byrd's walk, and the AL has two on,one out, and a big ol' rally in progress without Byrd cutting down David Ortiz at second.
