Is anyone pissed off by the Yankee slant in last night's All-Star Game? George Steinbrenner was given a moment of silence, and the game made special mention that Golden Boy Derek Jeter was going to be announced by Bob Sheppard, who died Sunday.
Was anybody else given the same special treatment? If not, why the fuck were Steinbrenner and Sheppard allowed to have their own time in the spotlight? It's not right; it's playing favorites.
Carl Pohlad, owner of the Twins, died last year. Was he given a moment of silence before last year's All-Star Game? Sheppard seems to be a nice guy (if I wanted to be spiteful I'd make an exception for him and not Steinbrenner because he's an asshole), but until he died I had no idea who the fuck this guy was. Why not let other All-Stars be announced the same way they're announced when playing at home? Why does Jeter get to be special but no one else?
I'm serious, this is bullshit. More people should be angry about this. I find this pro-Yankee boot-licking offensive.
