Great Things From the All-Star Game

---The hour-long introduction, featuring Fat Tony Gwynn and as fine a pair of moustaches on Rollie and Goose as you'll ever see. Inspiring!

---Sheryl Crow's tuneless, charisma-free performance of the National Anthem. Heartwarming!

---The Stealth Bomber flyover. Intimidating!

---"George Steinbrenner" aka DeNiro in pancake makeup. Saddening!

---Five consecutive outs at home plate. Thrilling!

---The perpetual dyspeptic look on Bud Selig's face as he saw his grand "This One Counts" plans blow up in his face. Awe-inspiring!

---Tim Lincecum missing the game with "flu-like symptoms" aka worst hangover of his life. Gut-wrenching!

---Joe Buck & Tim McCarver constantly forgetting who was left on the benches. Infuriating!

  1. And the perfect ending to such a long, drawn-out game...A slow-ass Justin Morneau trying to beat out a weak-ass, two-hop Corey Hart throw from shallow RF, and just barely doing so because the throw was a little off-line. Best of the Best!
