I was really hoping for a tie. Having the ASG determine home field advantage is just silly.

They weren't going to tie.
Selig might be able to pull something like that in his House that Used Cars Built in Milwaukee, but if it happened again, at Yankee Stadium, under the circumstances of this year, he wasn't making it out of the stadium alive.

Just to add to this part...

You tend not to get much respect when you can't stay healthy. He's had 600 PAs once in his career, and only even approached it one other time. Between that and his reported attitude problems in the past.
Of course, no one has ever denied his talent. He can get on-base by hitting and walking, he has power, he could run when he started out, and he's pretty good in the field. He's underrated, but for good reasons.
