There's been a lot of HAHAHAHAing about the 2010 All-Star rosters, so hey let's talk some shit! At least it's just an exhibition game that doesn't mean anything. The winner earns home-field advantage in the World Series for their future league champion! Baseball!

All-Star line-ups according to WAR via Fangraphs

AL/NL

C Mauer (2.1) / Olivo (3.0!)

1B Morneau (4.9) / Votto (3.6)

2B Cano (4.5) / Phillips (3.1) - Utley (3.3) on DL

I am currently stuck living in the armpit of the world where it's nearly impossible to see an out of market Pac-10 game unless it's on ABC at a bar. I have a Time Warner College Sports package that sometimes televises UW games but as our record has fallen to 3-7, we are less often on TV. To my horror, I just found out I won't be able to see the Apple Cup. Oh my god, seriously in this day and age, how is ANYTHING not available to watch?! Does anyone know a sports bar somewhere in the five boroughs that's going to carry the game??!! How about a streaming feed??!! HELP!!

Does anyone care about the HR Derby? I believe I do, it's kind of awe inspiring, despite how icky listening to Chris Bermann makes me feel. I sort wish ESPN would just play really intense music or something and shut up.

LINEUP                                  HR

Nelson Cruz TEX                    22

Prince Fielder MIL                   22

Brandon Inge DET                  21

Adrian Gonzalez SD               24

Tony Pena TAM                       24

Ryan Howard PHI                   22

Joe Mauer MIN                       15

Albert Pujols STL                    32

Joe Mauer, seriously? Branyan has better HR numbers and is better looking, well that's debatable. I wonder if he was asked to participate or do you have to be an All-Star to be in the derby? Either way, not seeing him hit some 500 foot bombs is taking away from the experience.

NOTES

-Prince Fielder has a TON of power

-Nelson Cruz was impressive

-ESPN is using some HitF/X or something

-I thought the "call your shot" promotion at the beginning of the telecast made me feel unusual
