Oh, and by the way - I love baseball, but I hate the All-Star Game. Last night's game was a perfect example of why I feel the way I do. Is it an actual game, or is it a pony show? Here's a tip for you, Bud Selig: decide in advance next time. A stadium-ful payed through the nose thinking they were coming to see a game, while the players, managers, and apparently the Commish were in it for the pony show. If it's a game, play it to conclusion. If not, nine innings will suffice, tie or no tie. Making tens of thousand baseball fans stay for extra innings and then arbitrarily pulling the plug was arrogance, plain and simple.

At least in the Home Run Derby, you know what you're getting - dingers, and lots of them.
