Possibly Pressly, but I’m pretty sure they said Cole won’t pitch since he threw on Sunday

See, this kind of thing is why I've always found it kinda weird that baseball and hockey have their all-star games in the middle of the season. Makes far more sense to have it after the season's over, like football.

He's really good, but playing for a team that shed as much salary as humanly possible because it's getting sold sometime soon.

The Tigers have five All-Stars tonight, only one is actually a Tiger. The rest all left because the team didn't want to pay them.

But no one cares at that point and none of the players want to play because they're all exhausted and hurt from a full season. No part of MLB wants the "Midsummer Classic" to become the Pro Bowl Game.

mid season ASG is clearly better. What makes baseball's ASG great is that guys can still play full strength without really worrying about getting hurt. Football is a joke because to play it properly is to risk serious injury, so they just kinda go through the motions.

Well, that's the hockey all-star game too. It's mid-season and the score always runs up to ridiculous levels like 15 - 13 because no one wants to get hurt. So it seems like guys playing full strength really depends on whether the sport is full contact or not, not when in the season it's played.

A bunch of All Star reservists playing softball in Miami on a Saturday in November so they can avoid the NFL.
