Winner of the All-Star game gets home field advantage in the World Series. Could they have possibly come up with a more nonsensical idiotic rule if they tried?

Talk about a non sequitor!!!! You may receive affirmation in this forum but I wouldn't feel too secure when you meet its founder.
Did you see what your douchebag pope said today? Sorry, but being born again has nothing to do with Catholicism. In fact, the two are almost, not quite, but almost mutually exclusive. And I have no idea what non sequitor means.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Wasn't my intention.

Probably the leagues attempt to make this game look meaningful in some way.

No, perhaps a link or a cut and paste?

Are you seriously trying to say that "being born again" has nothing to do with Catholicism, that it is almost mutually exclusive with Catholicism? Here is the biblical reference from the Gospel of John...

Scripture: John 3:1-15 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him." 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.' 8 The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."

We finally agree; you said...
"And I have no idea what non sequitor means."
...do you have any idea what it means when I say that the clause, "what non sequitor means" is redundant?

WAS THE OLD WAY BETTER?
randomly year by year a league gets the HF.

Until 2003, the team given the home-field advantage was switched every year between the American League and the National League. Starting with the 2003 World Series, the league that wins the mid-season All-Star Game has been awarded home-field advantage.

Agree GD, absolutely stupid that an exhibition determines home field in the championship deciding series. half of these players have no shot at the playoffs at all and yet the Dodgers closer (who were out of the playoffs that season) giving up a bomb to the last place Rangers 3B decided home field. Just horrible. It is a f*ing exhibition game, if they want to make the game better, change the team alignment. Do US v. World one year, AL/NL the next, by age, East/West, 10 best teams v. 20 worst.

Illini, you are completely wrong, Catholicism and Born Again are completely compatible, they are both entirely irrational. What they are inconsitent with is logic and reason.

I don't know, fhmesq. I'm one of the most logical and deep thinkers you'll ever come across, and Christianity is seeming more and more logical to me every day.
