Absolutely ridiculous.
I ended up being at work until the end of the 7th. Little did I know I'd still fit in two additional hours of baseball.
Credit to Matt Sussman at Deadspin, whose live blogging kept me informed at work, before turning into a live-blog to end all live-blogs. Epic.
The George Sherrill-Nate McLouth matchup happened, as predicted here! Never has a random warning track fly ball been so awesomely exciting. Well not really, but I'm glad it happened.
The baseball gods smile on Tito (although why he waited for an exhibition game to finally decide to pinch-hit for Tek, I'll never know).

Kiss my ass, Selig.

All-Stars
My Friday post was victimized by my work network connection (which is now apparently occasionally toxic to my laptop). I'll revisit some of the points this week in more detail...
One part of the six-pack was dedicated to tonight's All-Star game. Which didn't have any particularly original thoughts. I just want to have some official patch of cyber-ground where I can re-point out the complete absurdity of having HFA in the World Series determined by the outcome of this exhibition.
I remember being a kid and begging my dad to let me stay up to see if Bruce Hurst would get to pitch (he did not). But that was twenty years ago. Now, I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to Joe Buck and our friend Tim blather their pre-packaged story lines and product placements for four hours tonight (does anyone know where the game's being played? I haven't been able to find out). But should the Sox return to the Series this year, the only way they'll get four games at Fenway is if the AL wins this game tonight?
This key determinant of the World Championship could potentially come down to a showdown between George Sherrill and Nate McLouth?
Not team record.
Not league record in interleague play.
Not anything tangible.
All I hope is that noone gets injured.
