It's time for baseall's All-Star Game (yawn). Or make that a so-called All-Star Game. After last year's disgraceful tie, FOX forced MLB to change the rules to 1) give homefield advantage in the World Series to the league that wins the All-Star Game, hoping that this will get the starts to play harder (it won't); and 2) expand the rosters in hopes of avoiding another tie. How ridiculous are Fox's TV ads that claim "This Time It Counts"? Listen to Fox Sports Radio sometime. The guys on there have been mocking the ad 24/7. And they work for Murdoch.
