Everyone out there complaining about the All-Star game needs chill out. I've never cared much for the All-Star game, which might be why I can say this, but Selig made the right decision when he called the game after the 11th inning. The fans who were upset by this seem to have forgotten that the All-Star game is played by different rules than every other baseball game. It's certainly not about winning and losing, especially in extra innings. The managers have a mandate from the fans to get as many of th players on their roster out onto the field. As Joe Torre said, "You can't have it both ways." And the one thing I haven't heard from fans is a call for the All-Star game to be managed like other MLB games.
Oh, and in response to Mr. David Cuscuna, quoted in this espn.com article, the All-Star game is a meaningless game, which is probably why they treated it as such.
