Demons are frightening things, harbingers of Hell and the ugliness of the underworld. But this summer, Hellboy is back, and while he might be a bit ugly, he is looking out for the greater good. “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” begins with a flashback to a pre-pubescent (do demons go through puberty?

The American and National League All-Stars will square off tonight at Yankee Stadium — the last Midsummer Classic to be held there. The NL has failed to post a victory in the last 11 contests, including a tie in 2002. The winning league secures home field advantage in the World Series, so which team needs the win more? Who will win?

BRANDON AUGSBURG The NL All-Stars need the win more, but they won’t get it. The top contenders in the NL are all lights out at home, but mediocre on the road. With home field advantage, bauggie it is tough to imagine and NL team beating a team like the Red Sox or the Angels in @siu.edu the series. The AL roster is absolutely stacked again this year. They just have too much power for the NL.

I have to go with the National League in this series.
