What a major disappointment for Rangers' fans. We sent 8 guys to the game but they didn't do much of anything.
Worse than that, the World Series will start in the NL again. We know how that hurt the Rangers in the '12 Series. I can't prove it but I think that the Rangers would have won game 6 if the game had been played here.
I've always loved the All Star game. It is a great summer tradition and I look forward to it every year. It was great to see another retiring veteran get a standing ovation as happened when Chipper Jones batted late in the game.
However, Commissioner Selig changed the rules and made home field advantage subject to winning the All Star Game. It was a way of saving face after the 2002 game ended up in a tie.
I hate the World Series connection. The game is an exhibition not the "start of the post season" as some of the TV commercials were saying.
Speaking of the Rangers, it'd be interesting to see what they will do prior to the trading deadline. Will they add a name pitcher? or just another steady arm for insurance purposes? How about another lefthander to help Ross in the bullpen?
