any comments on this?

Also, I think I missed your take on the All-Star game's tie-finish. Unless you don't have any opinion on it. Yeah, right... :)

Of course I have an opinion on it...and it's this: The All-Star fiasco is one time (underline that, gang) when it wasn't Bug Selig's fault. Not his fault that for one night Joe Torre and Bob Brenly couldn't remember how to manage a baseball game reasonably. And boy, did those two end up with omelettes on their faces (which in Brenly's case almost wouldn't make a difference, since he does look as though someone put out a fire on his face with a spiked shoe, not that Torre is any raving beauty if you're going to go there!) when, it turned out, both Vicente Padilla of the Phillies and Freddy Garcia of the Mariners could have pitched at least five more innings if they'd been asked to do so...the All-Star Game fell on a day when Garcia, schedule mandating, would have been the Mariners' starting pitcher in a regular game, while the day was Padilla's normal throwing day between starts, which I guess no one believed until Phillies manager Larry Bowa went on national Fox Sports Radio the next day to confirm it.
