What works...

Ok, here's my take on the ASG, and making it count.

First of all, what is ok about it -
Fan voting - An exhibition game is by and for the fans. More power to ya. Do you vote the starters? We'll get to that.
Players voting - Voted in by your peers. That's cool.
Every team having a rep - Just because your team sucks doesn't mean there is never a diamond in the rough. Every team should represent, and that's all good.
Home Run Derby/other festivities - These are all good in the hood. Run with em. I'd like to see a bit more coverage of the other things except highlights on sprots center. Run the parade. Run the Celebrity game a full 7 innings like it should be. Etc.

That's a minute on what works. And now...

J-Ham

Ok folks - you heard it heard first, and admittedly, possibly last. Josh Hamiltom will one day be known as...

J-Ham.

Man that sounds ridiculous as I type it. But hey, it works. The home run derby last night was mostly boring, but Josh Hamilton, his BP pitcher, the whole thing was just a crazy and also inspiring story. Drugs, loyalty, you name it. 28 Home Runs in round 1. The guy was unstoppable - and we almost had him...That's the Cubs connection for this blog.

Mostly, he was just fun to watch last night. Not much more to be said here tho. He didn't win which was not entirely surprising, but a shame nonetheless.

And PS Mike Greenberg - I would've put Boggs on too...

That's my minute.
