Position Players Nearly Pitched Last Night
READ MORE:
Apparently JD Drew was ready to take the mound had the All-Star Game been extended even longer last night. Damn you Corey Hart, you should have made a better throw. [SPORTSbyBROOKS]

It turns out Ichiro is fluent in English, and swears like a sailor in a pregame speech every year to get the AL team fired up. Whatever he's doing, it's working. [Yahoo! Sports]

Some people think Tim Lincecum missing last night's All-Star Game because of "flu-like symptoms" (read: hungover) makes him a pansy. But if you're a Giants fan, like me, you know that Timmy missing the game was the best thing ever. [SF Gate]

Here's some hilarious news. A-Rod's All-Star party sucked. [Deuce of Davenport]

The AP has some fun with Dan Uggla's horrible game last night. [Red Sox Monster]

You think American athletes are greedy? How about these international soccer stars. [The Spoiler]

Josh Smith isn't happy in Atlanta, but he'll probably be back there anyway. [Fanhouse]

Looks like I can't bring my crossbow to Olympics. What a pity. [With Leather]

A discussion on how the Olympics are rigged. Not seriously, of course. Well, maybe against Canada they are. [Food Court Lunch]

So you are telling me that they have not having Live Action Gauntlet as a demonstration sport this year?

 

Josh Smith is pissed because the Hawks mascot won't give him back his bike, because that bird is just tooling around Atlanta.

I think MLB could make the All Star game better by moving it out to Wednesday. Let each team play their final games on Sunday, make Monday a travel day, have the Home Run Derby on Tuesday, play the game Wednesday, and take Thursday and Friday as travel days with all teams resuming their schedules on Saturday. That way you don't have to worry as much about all star pitchers going on Sunday and not being available at the game. Major League Baseball could do this without lengthening the season, but cutting the season back to 154 games thereby not having the World Series almost end in November.

Can't disagree with your thinking at all. It's completely rational. Although rational thought is something most sports leagues despise.

Most recent example: Clearly the Nuggets despise rational thought.
