Nice sweep. Don't need much hitting with pitching like that.

Here's hoping Joey Votto hits 3 HR's in the All-Star game :)

Charlie is a genius and will now lead the NL to victory over that other
league.

I'm not sure about the "home field advantage" in the WS. It's
2-3-2, so if the visitor can win one of the first two, the
advantage goes pretty heavily in their favor.

I don't see any real advantage either. The best team wins the WS
regardless of who gets 4 home games.
