Chance for redemption

Yanks have a 7 p.m,. tilt with B-More tonight to salvage some dignity, although it won't salvage the series.

All-Star voting has started. This process always drove me nuts. It's primarily a popularity contest, without regard to stats thanks to ignorant fans capable only of name recognition, and it resorts to conciliatory Little League rules by forcing a player from every team onto the rosters of each league. This is horrible, but very American, at least very modern-American. You participate, so you deserve to be rewarded. Sometimes, it's better to just let the losers stay home.

Be aware, you can vote up to 25 times for your favorite player. 25 times? Whatever happened to "one man, one vote"?
