    I love how Berkman and Oswalt look bored to be there when they were announced.

    Yeah, I'm not even planning on watching this. Maybe if I scramble up to BW3 to grab some cheap wings.

    Might as well stayed home and get some rest; gear up for an important second half.

    I love Garner's style; telling the players to do their thing, they'll be no signs, to strut their stuff. That's what the All-Star game is supposed to be about.

    Ozzie on the other hand is acting like this is do or die, making it clear he won't play everyone (for pitchers I can understand though, but position players, c'mon)

    That was an awesome interview with Garner... one of the few times that the guy interviewed actually ADDS something to the broadcast.

    Hell, I like Phill Garner... I may not always agree with his moves, or his gut feelings, but I respect the fact that he really LOVES the game, and has FUN at the game.

    Guys like LaRussa and Torre look more like they're going to the dentist, than going to watch a bunch of grown men play a game with a stick and a ball. He brings enthusiasm, he goes for it, and when it works out... it's that much sweeter.

    Well he may have helped his team get home field in the world series.

    I think it may be Garner, not Lidge.

    Actually, if Rolen had been playing 3rd, this game would have been over by now.

    Garner actually ended up using less of his bench than Guillen.

    It's stupid that home field advantage is based on this.

    No, Roy was actually in line for the win. Hoffman blew the save in the 9th.
