The Royals Rule The All Star Game
This is Gil Meche, the Kansas City Royals' "All-Star" for last night's game. Like Albert Pujols, he didn't get in the game. For Royals fans, this is the furthest thing from unusual. Their All-Star history is so checkered that the last Royals to get a hit in an All-Star game was ... Bo Jackson. More »

In Case You Forgot Who Was Managing The NL ...
We only caught the last couple of innings of the All-Star game on DVR last night/this morning, so we can only conjecture forthwith that, if the last inning was any indicator, this was actually one of the fun ones. Ichiro hit an inside-the-parker, A-Rod was thrown out at home, the immortal Victor Martinez went deep. But because this was a game managed by Tony La Russa, of course, it came down to the whole story being about Tony La Russa. More » -

It's Your All-Star Game Live Blog, Ya'll
We run this picture, not because there's any particular reason to run it, but because it's the All-Star Game tonight, and we will never, ever tire of looking at this picture. It has been five years since the ultimate Bud Selig befuddled moment — honestly, just look at that picture again; doesn't it just make you want to laugh and dance? That's what it does to us — and it's pretty much the first, last and every image we think about it anytime the game comes back around. It makes us happy. It just does. More » -

Back ... Back ... Oh, Forget It
The best description of last night's Home Run Derby — won by Vladimir Guerrero, shown here with a friend who's a tad too excited about the whole business — was in the comments this morning: "Why does an event that has 8 participants require 9 people to cover it?" This made a certain mad sense to us. More » -

Prepare For The Brain Explosion That Is The Home Run Derby
We know we got yelled at just this morning for recycling — consider the "Year Ago In Deadspin" feature toast — but it's Home Run Derby, and that means just one thing: It's the day Chris Berman lives for, and the day the rest of us pray for a quick, merciful death. (Last year, we actually watched six Berman Derbys in a row on ESPN Classic. We're just now recovering.) More »

Dane Cook Is The Face Of Postseason Baseball
If you're Major League Baseball, you have a veritable cornucopia of options of whom you should choose to serve as your postseason spokesperson. You could use Tommy Lasorda, like last year, though there's always the dangerous possibility he could ask Joe Buck to show off his swirly move. You could use old standby Scott Stapp. (We're sure he's available!) You could even take a page from the NBA and dial up David Blaine, if he isn't busy tending to his giraffes or something. More »

A Night Of 1,000 Groundouts
As many have pointed out, the All-Star Game last night was ultimately pointless, if just because it doesn't really matter who has home-field advantage when the American League is just going to sweep anyway. More »

This Time It's Still Frivolous
Real fast: Who was the MVP of last year's All-Star Game? Remember? It was Miguel Tejada, pre-B-12, back when everyone considered him a real Team Leader and Stand Up Guy. The guy will be there tonight too, and we hope you enjoy tonight's All-Star Game, because, well, you'll almost certainly forget about it by this time next year. More »

Presenting Your Stars Of All
We have a hard time working ourselves up about the selections for the All-Star Game, mainly because — "this time it counts!" aside — the game has often lost interest by the fourth inning or so. We would love to fall into a it ain't what it used to be party line on the All-Star Game, because we do remember enjoying it a lot more when we were kids. But we think that was for the same reason we loved shiny objects and open flame; we were just a lot easier to impress when we were eight. More »

Sucking Some Of The Suspense Out Of The All-Star Selections
Some fantastic work is being done by the fellas at High and Tight. They've been keeping an eye on shop.mlb.com, because they have a tendency to foreshadow things a little bit with their jersey sales. And on the page where you can buy an unsightly home-run derby jersey, they have listed as available options 24 AL players, and 25 NL players. The rosters aren't supposed to be officially announced until this evening. Oops. More »
