Tonight's All-Star Game

[Benjamin Grimm]

Which best applies?

[metirish]

I'll watch casually...................although we might take a walk to the park instead......


Any word on who's going to give the NL team a pep talk......didn't Mike Schmidt do it last year?

[Frayed Knot]

I always catch at least part of it -- but it's been a long time since I hung on every pitch.

[bmfc1]

"I'll watch casually"--no tie.

[TransMonk]

I'm not planning on watching it. If it lasts 4 hours, I might pop into the bar across the street to watch the ending.

I voted the first choice. Maybe it's the little kid in me but I still love the all-star game. I like watching the players from other teams; I like the spectacle and the introductions; I like seeing the Mets players do well in the game; and I like when the National League wins. The last thing has been a bit of a problem recently but that only piques my interest further -- I want this to be the year that the NL finally wins again.

I've never seen the NL win...... this one counts.....
