All-Star Break

Manny Ramirez should play in the all-star game. Players need to realize how important the all-star game is. There shouldn't be cheesey gimmicks like more money or home-field advantage. In fact, players should lose money if they don't play. If there's a chance you can get hurt playing in an exhibition game, then you shouldn't play in the pre-season. In fact, let's not play the first half of the season, just go to a random lottery designed using a rotating array of numbers that correspond to the letters in a citie's name. The Angles don't get extra points for being "from" Los Angeles and "of" Anaheim. Douches, all of 'em. (That's what they get for wearing Willie Mays' #24--which is also my number!)
