I’ve always thought baseball was the most boring sport around, especially to watch. Yes, even more boring than golf.
I’m glad to see that my disdain for the sport has been matched by the sport itself.

As long as you don’t hold my complete disinterest in golf against me, I won’t hold your dislike for baseball against you.
However, I have one comment on Tom’s commentry. If the game is supposed to be filled with “all-stars,” that needs to be defined. Is that the best players, by virtue of their stats, or the most popular, as voted in by the ballot box and internet stuffing fans? If the former, great; take the best two from each position (and a few extra pitchers) and have a game. If it’s about the most popular (regardless of talent – baseball does have a few Anna Kornakovas ), then I could care less. And I do agree that interleague play has made the game less interesting, since we have a chance to see Roger Clemens vs Barry Bonds, etc. as part of the season.
And why should a player with a guarranteed contract care if he gets injured – he gets paid either way. And if he’s really a competitor, why would he settle for a tie?
I’m certainly not arguing that the players are hapless pawns in this. Their disregard in “putting on a show” goes right alongside that of MLB management.
