Since the All Star Game decides home-field advantage in the World Series, and the World Series has nothing to do with the Cubs and White Sox, Starlin Castro decided he had to give this game meaning.
So he tackled Alexei Ramirez during the game to really give the Cubs-Sox rivalry a seminal moment.

On Wednesday it was announced that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane had signed contract extensions with the Blackhawks that would see both making $10.5 million a year starting in the 2015-16 season.
It also means they’ll be the highest paid players in NHL history, but how do their salaries compare to other athletes in Chicago? Well, not all that well, actually.
I came into this spring with high hopes for Starlin Castro in 2014. In my mind, he was set for a bounce back season that would see him playing at an All-Star level yet again.
But things are not off to a good start.
Spring training has begun, which means that, by god, baseball season is almost here. As Chicago baseball fans, the truth is we really don’t have a whole lot to look forward to this year, as both the Cubs and White Sox should struggle to even finish .500. Still, it will be baseball, and we will be watching it. So instead of writing general team previews for the upcoming season, I’ll be writing a series of posts in which I make FEARLESS PREDICTIONS about what will happen during the upcoming season. Today we look at Starlin Castro.
Joel Quenneville has heard you, Hawks fan.
Maybe you didn’t notice it on Wednesday night against the Rangers, but Marcus Kruger got some time as the second-line center with Patrick Kane. Well, on Thursday it was announced that Kruger would be on the second line with Kane again against Montreal on Saturday, as Quenneville said he’s going to get a shot at the job.
And it’s about fucking time, too.
