I’ll be honest, I don’t care nearly as much about the All-Star game as I used too. I’m not sure why this is. I certainly love baseball as much as I ever have, but this year I nearly forgot it was on. I did watch part of it though, and I do have a few quick comments.
Please, for the love of all that is Holy, don’t ever let the American Idol winner sing the national anthem again. Fantazia whatsername’s rendition was AWFUL, a stupid, showy atrocity against man and God. Halfway through I began to pray, pray that God would end my torment and smite her, but God abandoned me, and allowed her to finish.

Minute Maid Park looks like an eight-year-old designed it. Toy trains and hills in the outfield? Please…
