All-Star Game to Be Short One Badass Motherflipper

by Red on July 8, 2010

On the plus side, more free time for drinking and chicanery.

Aw, screw the All-Star Game. Not that I was gonna watch it anyway. But without Youk on the scene, FOX misses out on the critical hillbilly demographic. And I gotta believe they’ll regret that in the long run.

Nick Swisher gets the nod instead, beating out Youk by a slender margin. Apparently, Twitter was a factor.

[Swisher] and the Yankees also used Twitter far more effectively than did the Red Sox. Swisher has 1.2 million followers on Twitter, which is what likely helped make the difference.

I sure hope those 1.2 million voters won’t miss homefield advantage in the World Series when Swishy goes down swinging in the bottom of the ninth.

Whatevs. More time for healing. And crime.

Frankly, I think a lot of fans backed off--I know I did--realizing they want him to heal.  There may be no justification for it, but I doubt he would not "not play."  I do not see Youk sitting out the All Star Game.  I would rather he heal.  They fucking need him as one game and Big Papi reaching base three times demonstrates.

The MFY can have their useless player ["Useless"?--Ed.], the Red Sox need to heal.  Period.

P.S. And fuck Giambi.
