Every Man Has His Price

And apparently mine is pretty small.

I didn’t vote for players for the baseball All-Star Game this year. Matter of fact I have never voted in all the years they have let fans do it. I don’t think it should be a fan based popularity contest, the players should be chosen by the league managers. They can vote for anyone they like except their own players.

The last couple of years they have even allowed the fans to vote on an extra player for the bench, pretty soon the fans will get to vote on what kind of pitch the pitcher will be throwing.

Anyway, I broke down and voted for the extra player this year because they were giving away a week’s worth of MLB.TV. Which is kind of a smart move on their part, because with the All-Star break in the middle of the giveaway week you only get to see like 4 games.

So right now I’m watching Baltimore put the hurt on the FRS in a small window while I blog. The video quality is not bad in a tiny window, but full screen it is very pixelated. Not something I want to pay $80 a year for. Besides I like the whole listening thing much better, it is easier to multitask.
