I thought the GAME was great. It was exciting, competitive, and it was great to see young stars step up and perform in the clutch. Unfortunately, having such a great game is going to convince people that the "This time it counts" bullshit was a good idea. Already that doorknob McCarver won't shut up about how Selig came up with a great idea that will save baseball. It would ultimately have been much better for baseball if one side had blown out the other or the game had been rained out and then everyone would be calling for Selig's head. The only thing that will be good for the game is a new commissioner. Why mess with the All-Star Game? I saw nothing wrong with it. But if everyone thinks the players don't take it seriously and the fans don't watch it, THEN STOP PLAYING IT. Don't use it to screw with the World Series.
I'm a Yankee fan, and if the Yanks win it in seven this year, then all the small-market Yankee haters, starting with Bud, who right now are celebrating the revenue sharing agreement and thought this All-Star crap was a great way to give the NL a chance, will have no one to blame but themselves.
