Can someone explain to me.....

...Why the guy who has the best E.R.A. amongst closers AND is tied for the League Lead in Saves gets to warm the bench in the All-Star game.

Why does everyone always pucker up and kiss the Yankee's Ass (Can you tell I hate a Certain Team)

You're complaining because Ozzie rested your closer, and used the closer from the team a few games behind you (who, by the way, has a lot more mileage on his skinny right arm), in a meaningless exhibition game?

And yes, it's meaningless---home field hasn't meant squat in the last 3 Series.
