MLB All-Star Game

Post by _skippy the dead »

Is it lame, or really lame?

(I'm watching it anyways. It is baseball, after all.)

I'm watching it too. Go American League!! I voted really lame, though the home run derby last night was kind of fun.

Missed that - looked like it was good. Will Hamilton now be bitten by the HR Derby curse?

I suppose the game would be better if the announcers STFU and they didn't spend so much time on things that aren't the actual game.

And go NL!

I've gotten to the point where I watch sports on mute. I hate hearing the same commentary over and over.* I put a CD on and listen to music instead.

It's wise to listen to FOX announcers on mute. I love my hometown announcers, though - I won't mute 'em.

Hello,

Well, at least the Major League Baseball All Star Game is better to watch, than the NFL Pro-Bowl Game is in February in Hawaii.

Yes, I'm quoting myself. I'm switching who I'm rooting for. There are far too many Yankees and Red Sox players and not enough A's players on the AL team. Therefore, go National League!!

I haven't watched an All Star game since that one game ended in a tie. Let them play! Let them play!

My innocence was lost after that...

That moment only further emphasized Bud Selig's general asshattery.
