AFTER MIDNIGHT
Baseball's All-Star game ended just a few minutes ago...12:02 according to the clock in my car.
Did your kid enjoy the game? Did he or she get to see the nail-biting National League rally in the bottom of the 9th? Did they get to see their heroes play?
How could they? It ended after midnight!
Once again, baseball cut off its nose to spite its face, sacrificing the young fans for the prime time TV buck. (No, not Joe.)
It's the only professional all-star game worth a damn. Why not grow the game by letting your little leaguers see it?
Because baseball's concerned with $$$$$$ while the young fans get their ZZZZZZ's.
Shame.

I watched a few minutes of w/ my husband before bed (yes, it gets him 'in the mood') and I noticed that there were kids in the stands. I looked at the clock and it was 11:00. I then asked my husband if the game had been taped and he grumbled, "don't think so", rolled over, and went to bed. Maybe if the NL won I would have slept better... ;)
Hmmm...does every win get him in the mood?
If so, you must be very happy, very tired, or both.
Unless he's a Royals fan.
