Default 2002 ALL STAR GAME FARCE (and Selig,the puppet comissioner)

Posted By: runscott

Top 10 best responses by Bud Selig when Joe Torre approached him before the game and said, "Hey Bud - I plan to use my entire roster in the first 9 inning, and won't use any of my pitchers more than 3 innings. What do you think?"

1. That's pretty dumb Joe - save some pitchers or you'll have to use position players.
2. Okay, but we need to let the fans know what our plan is in case of a tie.
3. Joe - you and Bob figure it out, I've got problems of my own
4. This game is for the fans, so lets announce "fan pitcher for an inning" winners based on seat numbers.
5. Warren Spahn's still here - use him
6. I talked with my bookie and the odds are 100 to 1 against a tie. But hey, you have to put at least a $1 on those longshots!
7. I think a coin toss after 11 will be fine
8. I don't know, what do they do in soccer?
9. If it goes past 11 we'll just quit and go home

(drum roll) and the stupidest response of all.....

10. Just go play ball - we'll worry about that if it happens
