This really isn't your father's -- or even your older brother's -- All-Star Game. Of the 66 players (yes, 66; they expanded the roster by one this year, to 33) on this year's All-Star rosters, fully two-thirds -- 44 of them -- are making either their first or second All-Star appearance. Only two...
The Home Run Derby, or, Take Good Care of My Hombre
I can't say I'm not nervous about Albert Pujols participating in the Home Run Derby. I'm nervous when I watch Albert Pujols do anything. My hypothetical sports car probably isn't going to get dinged when I pull through into the perfect spot at Wal-Mart, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get...

OPEN THREAD: NBA All-Star Saturday 2009

But last night's 46 point outing on All-Star Friday was his coming out party. KD will be on the real All-Star squad next season and probably for the next decade. I'd trade...
