Screw the All-Star game, there shouldn't be any arguments about who makes it or not. Probably half the voters are like 7 year olds.
Red Sox fans hate the Yankees
Yankees fans hate the Red Sox
Nothing new, I new that before I watched my first game.
Personally, I don't get broken up when I hear a Sox fan, or any other fan say Mo sucks, or Jeter, or A-Rod or whoever, because I expect them to. I don't like Ortiz, but does that mean I don't feel bad when he is the sole reason for a loss? Yes. Why wouldn't I, thats the beauty of baseball, you love your team, you hate the rest. Of course theres the respectable fans who just love the game, they don't care about who sucks and who rules, but whos at bat, and whos pitching. Thats the kinda fan who will say "Yea, we beat up Mo today, but it won't happen often, so we shouldn't expect it a lot." over "He sucks, we own him!". But I don't care either way, thats your perspective on the game. Theres people who hate the past and love the future, and then theres people who perfer the past of baseball to the present(like me), but thats just how you take the game, and really, theres no point in trying to sway the other players view on how they take the game.
