Nomar isn't starting.

Tejada is having a horrible year. A-Rod may be the better player, but Nomar is having not much worse of a year than Rodriguez. The All-Star game is about who's having the best season. If not for a recent slump, Nomar would be (about) at or above Rodriguez in every hitting category except home runs. Still now, Nomar beats A-Rod in average, hits, doubles, triples, RBIs, and stolen bases. A-Rod's OPS is only .035 points higher than Nomar's. And Nomar is on a team that wins.

Of course I'm going to watch it. That way I can b*tch about it later with full expertise.

The Home Advantage is ridiculous, Selig is a loonie, the ads are terrible, Fox is lame, but hey, it's baseball. I'll be there.
