Which best applies?

I'll watch casually...................although we might take a walk to the park instead...... Any word on who's going to give the NL team a pep talk......didn't Mike Schmidt do it last year?

I always catch at least part of it -- but it's been a long time since I hung on every pitch.

"I'll watch casually"--no tie.

I'm not planning on watching it. If it lasts 4 hours, I might pop into the bar across the street to watch the ending.

="bmfc1":3u7c2z2w]"I'll watch casually"--no tie.[/quote:3u7c2z2w] lol Gwreck Jul 14 2009 12:58 PM I voted the first choice. Maybe it's the little kid in me but I still love the all-star game. I like watching the players from other teams; I like the spectacle and the introductions; I like seeing the Mets players do well in the game; and I like when the National League wins. The last thing has been a bit of a problem recently but that only piques my interest further -- I want this to be the year that the NL finally wins again. metirish Jul 14 2009 01:05 PM I've never seen the NL win...... this one counts.....

Benjamin Grimm Jul 14 2009 01:27 PM I'm not gonna watch. I haven't watched since the early 90's. I think I quit on the All-Star Game even before the 1994 strike, although I'm not sure.

I always love the player introductions. It'll be the first All-Star game I'll be able to watch in three years. In 2007 I was in Switzerland, and last year MK and I were at the Bon Jovi/All-American Rejects concert at Madison Square Garden. metirish Jul 14 2009 02:23 PM I bet the St.Louis fans will even cheer for the AL team during the player introductions.......that's never happened anywhere else ....... LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 14 2009 02:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 14 2009 03:11 PM Why, I heard tell once of a St. Louis fanatic who was cuffed about by a scoundrel outside the stadium. At the trial, the crank testified against the mugger, who stood and applauded his effort. Appreciating this, the rapscallion-- also a Cardinals booster-- gave to hooting and hollering for the chap, for being a stand-up stand-upper. The entire gallery, supporters of both the Blood-Redbirds AND a good round of applause, clapped the pair's rhythmic clapping, for it was a hearty clapping, indeed! Those St. Loo bugs-- they sure are a bunch of swell ol' darbs, they are!

G-Fafif Jul 14 2009 03:36 PM Casual, but might upgrade to avid if the National League can come tantalizingly close to winning before inevitably blowing it.

Willets Point Jul 14 2009 09:17 PM I didn't watch, mainly because MLB.com tv assumes that even though I pay to watch on the internet because I don't have a tv, I will suddenly get a tv whenever a game is on FOX or ESPN.
