F The All Star Game

There is so much wrong with the game it pisses me off to no end. The rosters are so bloated that practically everyone is an All Star these days. It is like giving kids a participation award so they won't feel like little wimps or wussies or whatever. The fan voting is always messed up because the fans are dumb and the vote is always geographically tilted. Perhaps the biggest mistake of all is letting the game decide homefield advantage in the world series. It used to switch back and forth between the leagues every year which made sense at least. This game is an exhibition game only and because of this newfound "meaning" to the game we get idiots like Charlie Manuel putting Omar Infante on the team just because he is a utility guy even though he isn't even an everyday player. Manuel even considered Steven Strasburg for the team!? He has only pitched a few games and has put up only decent numbers. Be real dude.

To fix the game do the following:
Limit the team to standard 25 man rosters
No fan voting
The game doesn't count for anything
