The All-Star break is here. As much as it is maligned, it is the only allstar game in any sport that gets any attention. And since it determines home field for the World Series, actually means something.
This year it's in St. Louis, the very center, the true nexus of the baseball universe. It should be there every year.
The United States' President will be at the game. The United States would be well served if Presidents spent every day of the season in a ball park. Spring training too.
Also worth noting, the astros are the team that every year bedevils the Cardinals. They can be 15 games back during the early season but no matter how bad or injury plagued they happen to be, in any given year they always manage to give the Cards a good scare. This is another such year. Ask me on any given day the team I worry about the most, the answer is always the same, the astros.
At the break....
NL Central
Cardinals
Brewers -2 1/2
Astros -3 1/2
another team -3 1/2
Reds -5
Pirates -9 1/2
