Thats what they WANT you to think. But, how then did they determine who would gt it in a recent year (2002 I think) when no1 won?

the mlb all star game has become a pitiful ratings grabber and corporate event. 70 percent of the players this year did not deserve to be there. its absolute joke. five indians made it? i mean COME ON, five? ok, cliff lee and victor martinez yes, but belliard, westbrook, lawton? they are in 4th place in the al central. as for my first place whitesox? our lone representative was loaiza who isnt even our best pitcher (buerhle). um hello, paul konerko? remember him? 23 hrs and 60 rbi? not an allstar? oh yeah, sorry, you had to make room for hideki matsui who has 16 and 40 ....fucking joke. the white sox have had one of the best offenses in the entire league and we dont even get an offensive allstar. horseshit.

sean casey shoulda been there 'stead of griffey, at least he coulda played and he is way better anyway.

that rule is horrible. It should be the team with the most wins after the end of the season, Not by having overpaid athletes dick around in the all star game

the problem being that the fans vote who makes it to the all-star game

and i agree the all-star teams were total horse shit, how many players did the yankees have? 8 or so? torre is bs

ferkin yankees are BS. I pity yankees fans. everybody else hates them. They're so good cause they got the money to buy the best players,.

I loved it when the diamond backs pwned their asses in the 2000 world series

[Hollywood]

Oh yes, my girlfriend and I watched it and loved every minute of it. Especially because we are both die hard Red Sox fans and not only did we get to see Ortiz and Manny homer but Rocket was booted in the first inning. Although I must admit we still respect him and definitely don't hate him as much as we did when he was with the Yankees.

roger clemens is the best pitcher since nolan ryan and deserves to be treated with the most respect. The only time i was really watching baseball was when Clemens was with the Blue Jays. Those were some great years

also, if you haven't heard, it seems that randy johnson wants to leave the d'backs -- which has sturred up rumors that the yankees might be trying to sign him. wouldn't that be great... >:|
