wdm1219inpenna Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 How about they just stop playing the game? No one cares about it.False.Nobody cares about the Pro Bowl. Only a handful care about the NHL ASG. Slightly more care about the NBA ASG.But the MLB ASG is pretty damn popular. Even the people that think it's worthless tend to watch it.What are the ratings for the ASG vs those other ones? I'm in the camp with those who think it's worthless and should go away. It was cool back when I was a kid, and you could only watch your local team, plus the one national game on CBS or NBC (actually, I remember ABC Monday Night Baseball too), but now that you see these players on Sports Center and on cable all the time, it's just a worthless break in the schedule.Don't get me started on how ridiculous the home-field advantage thing is too.BringbacktheVet, you read my mind exactly! Couldn't have said this better myself. The All-Star Game used to be all household names, and high quality players. Now with expansion, interleague play, steroids, overall talent pool being watered down, it's a worthless showcase. This Home Run Derby thing they do too is totally unnecessary. I watched to see the opening lineups, and more than 2/3 of the players I never even heard of. Pujols apparently didn't do too well. He's probably on the juice too, same w/Ryan Howard. MLB lost me, and the NFL is beginning to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Considering this thread is 18 pages long, it proves that the MLB All-Star Game and festivities are pretty popular still. Granted, it's a default "I am a Cardinal" thread, but no other All-Star thread gets this much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread's popularity has very little to do with any of my posting, certainly leading up to the game.
