Open All-Star Game Thread

PrintI love the All-Star Game, but without Lincecum in the game, I think I'll just play Civilization all night...
Ah, who am I kidding? I still like watching the players I don't get to see that often. Hanley Ramirez, for one, and Joe Mauer for another. I'll watch, and I'll enjoy it.
But those bastard Germans want me to give up the secret of Printing Press for four turns of peace! I can't just ignore their bleating for an entire day. I have an image to uphold, and pikemen to build.
But I also like that the AL starter's name sounds like an adverb.
"Cliffly, he walked through the camel tent with his shoes off..."
And Brian Wilson is fun to watch, even if we all know that Giants pitchers give up grand slams to Fred Lynn and 550-ft. homers to Bo Jackson, or they bean Edgar Martinez in the noggin. I'll predict that Wilson allows at least two baserunners, but he ultimately holds the lead.
Verdict: I'm a watching, and I'll enjoy it.

I’ll watch it when I get home, though I’ll turn the sound off.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I like Civilzation but I get bored during the early phases.
I like ripping through the opponents with tanks and Navy Seals. Go America WOOOO!
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
Maybe so
If the wife remembers to Tivo it, i’ll watch it later tonight.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Off work at 5. Vet appt at 6. No Timmy. Have some laundry to do.
Not watching. I think I might play WoW instead. Haven’t done that in a while.

I really hate how this game determines home field advantage for the WS. That’s stoopid.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
this
needs to change ASAP. Not sure Selig thought this through when he introduced the All”tie game” to us a few years ago.
His head would have exploded if he had to figure out a way to split home field advantage in the World Series. Mine too for that matter.
Derin McMains had five fingers, but he only used three.
Alternate years worked out pretty well for a while there. I think the “make the game mean something” was a poor reaction to his own asinine call to allow a tie in an All Star game.
Not a Selig fan here.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
IMO the worst thing Selig did was that damned contract with FOX and the no saturday day games… unless you are the RedSux or the Wankees!
The FOX/Saturday game thing has me plenty steamed. Way to ruin a good lazy Saturday afternoon, Bud.
