Usually, Batgirl takes this opportunity to bitch about Fox and the All-Star Game and the deeply unfortunately congruence thereof. Maybe it's Batgirl's new anger management skills, or she's softening in her old age, or probably because we're so used to the crimes and depredations that we just don't feel the pain anymore, but Batgirl is left feeling more a low-grade ennui rather than apoplectic rage this year. And at least Ass Face didn't make an appearance, though I'm sure you guys tried to convince Phil Garner to let him pitch the eighth.
Now, before people start patting each other on the back here, I don't want to imply that the coverage was in any way good, didn't invent any new ways to kill Batgirl softly. First of all, guys, you can't have it both ways. You can't tell me "This time it counts," and make a huge deal out of that and then spend entire half-innings talking to the managers. Because aren't they supposed to be, you know, managing? In the pregame, Ozzie Guillen said he was going to manage this game like it was the 7th game of the World Series. Well, how would you know, Oz you never got to the 7th game. You won it in four, huh? In your face, Ozzie.
Oh, wait….
And what the hell happened to Carrie Underwood? Remember when she was cute? One year from winning American Idol and she's already tanorexic and has stopped consuming solid foods. And those Chevrolet commercials are going to be playing constantly when Batgirl goes to hell. And did we have to name the drug that helps you pee "FlowMax?" Can't we just pretend it's not about peeing? Please? For Batgirl? And last year, Miggy got a Corvette for being MVP, and Michael Young gets a Chevy Avalanche? I'm sure he took one look at it and said, "Where's my $@#%!^& Vette?"
Anyway, the soul-numbing that's required to get through this thing without harming one's self or others has wearied Batgirl, so she just wants to leave you with a simple poll:
