I like the idea of the All-Star game but in reality it makes for a pretty boring game. Same with the HR derby. I think they need to change to format of the derby, but I can't think of how.....

The addition of the home-field advantage rule really changes nothing about how the game is played. If it did, then maybe it would be more exciting. Otherwise the game is as exciting as the Pro Bowl. I watch to see my favorite players, but once they are subbed out I turn off the TV.

I sure will be watching if Mauer, Morneau, Liriano, or Santana are in though, but they need help. For some reason the fourth best team in the AL is getting the mosi votes. It doesn't make any sense!

personally no i dont i just dont find base ball all that entertaining imo

NOT if I have to watch a bunch of Red SUX players!

Nope not me. I'm not a fan of baseball.

I love watching the all-star game. The only two days of the year that there aren't any major sporting events in session is the day before and the day after the all-star break (I think that's still true anyway).

I personally think that every all-star kind of game is boring and uninteresting. But, it's nice to have people that you like on the teams and recognized for their high level of play.

nothing but a popularity contest..what a joke ! Cano, Jeter AND A-Rod..now THATS a F'ing joke 2 of the 3 there lead the AL in errors..and in all-star ballots...paaaaalease

Yeah, it's no different then the probowl, with the exception of the game actually meaning something. The winner gets homefield advantage in the WS. That alone makes the game worth watching if you're a baseball fan.

Unless the only way your team is going to be a play-off team is if they dress like one for Halloween.

Halloween dress up. :lol: I watch the WS regardless of who's playing. If the Twinkies pull off a miracle and continue this type of play they should make it in. The odds of them continuuing to play like they have the last 20 games are about 1,000,000:1.
