Finally

[Longhorn20]

Finally, the stupid All-Star break is over. What a waste of 4 days they could be playing regular games. Furthermore, the mystique between the AL and NL has already been destroyed by the stupid balanced schedule. Same with the World Series.

And as someone who works on baseball horsefeathers literally every day there are games, I have to say that closing my laptop for four days and reading a book has been a welcome change of pace.

No but seriously, can we get a game thread? Tauchman up, Canario down doesn't really prompt it's own thread but after the mods continued their 'down with Mega Threads' war on the trade rumors thread there's kinda nowhere to go.

A game takes about 3 hours. That leaves you 21 to close your laptop and read a book.

My job is pretty awesome but after a long enough time, even the best job becomes "a job".

One of the local radio stations was going on about how the couple of post All-Star game days was the death valley on the calendar for sports radio.   He was also advocating for the smaller leagues (specifically mentioning the CFL)  to purposely schedule games on those days to get a bit of increased attention.  Which I believe some WNBA games did.
