ASG and random sports

Just in case people forget that baseball games can last for a very long time, it was decided to very nearly end up playing all night, and all of the wee hours of the morning. Fortunately this plan was aborted at around 2 am and before the last available pitchers at an all-star game ran out of pitches to throw. The unsurprising loss of the game went to a guy who hasn't a history of accomplishing good things against good competition.

I did like the pre-game stuff with the Hall of Famers...
but they've done it before (in 1999). And several of them didn't show up, but did then. Koufax, Yaz, Bench, Morgan, Ryan, Musial.. and of course the now dead Ted Williams. Which since he is dead, I can't hold against him that he didn't show just to spite the Yankee fans.


In other sports news, Denver has decided they will suck at basketball next year by giving away their best player (Camby), and only defensive player. I'm sure that will go over well.
