All-Star Game
Things I like and don't like:
Like
1) Comerica Park. Looks like a great stadium, and I like the fact it's not a pure hitters' park. There actually is some foul territory.
Don't Like
2) Tiger Stadium. But you had to give up a classic (albeit crumbling) to get it.
3) A-Rod's white shoes. You wear black shoes, as you should, 162 games a year (I don't count the post-season, because you don't show up). What's with the Charlie Finley white shoes? They make you look like a clown.
4) This time it counts. For? It counts for two teams that are yet to be determined. That means it counts for a small percentage of the players, even if you assume it matters to the contenders.
5) Scooter. Why is this animated jackass still being used by Fox? Could one of those glowing fox-pucks please hit him square in the teeth?
6) Jack Buck. Dude--this isn't a videogame or streetball. Not every batter is "one swing away" from changing the complexion of the game. Have we come to a point in baseball where it's all home runs and Ks?
7) Tim McCarver. Did you have a stroke before the game? You mumbled your opening lines, and they were incoherent anyway. You were good. A long time ago.
Like
8) Jeannie Zelasko still has her job despite being pregnant, and gets to do on-field interviews.
Don't Like
9) That they allowed the camera to show her below the neck in that hideous wrap. Did she get a remnant from Central Park?
10) The rule requiring one player from every team. I like it in principle, but it made more sense with fewer teams, so the rosters weren't so bloated. What about every other year. I suspect that much of it would balance out. Probably all but one or two teams can produce an all-star caliber player every other year. So the rule should be that the roster must have at least one player from any team that didn't have an all-star the year before.
