All Stars, All Night Long
It's 1:18am in New York, 11:18pm here in Salt Lake City... and they're still playing baseball at Yankee Stadium. I guess God is a Yankee fan and doesn't want to turn out the lights on baseball's most mythical stadium without one last memorable moment. About four hours ago, I joked they would play 20 innings, run out of players and some pitcher would get seriously injured - and it would all be on inept baseball commissioner Bud Selig's conscience. I never thought it would come this close. Wow.
Will Dan Uggla, three errors so far, be the hero, a goat, or neither? Whither these pitchers, both throwing on just a few days rest with no one left in the bullpen? Will we see Uggla pitch before all is said and done?
What a night.
It shouldn't determine home field advantage. It's an exhibition and Selig's decision to treat it as something more is wrong and problematic.
