This was probably one of the worst All-Star Games I've watched in my lifetime. Something just didn't seem right. Managing of the lineups was questionable. I was upset that Ty Wiggington didn't get his at-bat and goofey-face Nick Swisher (in this case, Nick Wiffer, who couldn't hit for crap during the Home Run Derby the night before) was sent to the plate in his place.

Per MSNBC.com, this year's game had the lowest-ever TV rating.

Once they announced Wiggy was out I turned it off I was very disappointed.But at least he got in A-Rod rode the bench the whole game I hear.Wigginton was so happy to be there and us Orioles have been key in winning the all-star games past few years if I remember correctly.
Last year it was Jones sac fly to go ahead,and the previous year was Sherrill's outstanding 2 plus innings of shut-down baseball to keep the NL off the board.
