Pondering the Imponderable -- 11:50 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Man, I'm glad I had no interest in watching the All-Star game. Calling the game at 7-7 after 11 innings? Sheesh. What a load of crap. I'm sure the people who paid a king's ransom for tickets are thrilled. I couldn't think of a way that baseball could become a bigger fiasco, but they did it. Way to go guys. I hope you all choke to death on your money.

Instead, my wife and I had a friend over. We popped in the Episode I DVD (I don't care what anyone says. I like that movie.) and drank martinis. Life is good, even if you don't make a zillion dollars. Or maybe especially if you don't make a zillion dollars.

The Master comments: Yup, pay $175 to watch a meaningless game, then make it meaningless by calling it a tie. Whoo. You sure got your money's worth on that one.

A.T. Hun comments: Not only did they have to pay $175 (face value) for the tickets, but if you want tickets to the game you also have to buy tickets to all the other All Star events like the Home Run Derby. Baseball might have a lot of problems getting a lot of things right, but they do an outstanding job at screwing their fan base. It was very fitting that all of this took place at Miller Park, a stadium that stands as a monument to the arrogance that is Major League Baseball.
