The Real All-Star Game
Some people think the All-Star Game is on Tuesday. I am a big baseball fan and on Tuesday I will be in the Bowery ballroom seeing Son Volt (thanks to winning New York's Q104.3). Even if I wasn't going to the show, I would not be watching that overbearing boring love fest where 70 players play a couple innings in a game that now stupidly decides which League will have home field advantage in the World Series. "This one counts" is the phrase Fox uses. Well it doesn't count. What counts is the Home Run Derby!!
In post-Steriod ridden baseball, there are new collection of real ball players not including freaks of nature like Bonds, Sosa, and McGwire whosadly were the bearersof baseball's torch for the past 5 years or so. But MLB figured out a way to stupefy the viewers again. In an attempt to promote the World Cup of Baseball to be played next March. Each country was given a representative. What this did was allow players like Jason Bay and Hee-Sop Choi a chance to embarrass themselves. Jason Bay, the great Pittsburgh Pirates star, got ten outs before one home run.

The American rep was of course from the Texas Rangers, he team of the Bush family. Like the fans, Texeira was a waste and a bust.
But Jeter is not in the all-star game and that's all that matters... Here's to the Yanks not making the playoffs.
