Bring Me The Head Of Zupa
Last night, Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox were robbed of a victory by one of their own fans. Leading 2-1 in the fourth, Langerhans hit what should have been the second out of the inning.

I'm irrational, yes, but I'm happy for the guy and he's finally getting some recognition. It's lame, yes, but honestly it's the ******* All Star Game...

The years have obscured the decisions and blurred the records. So much so that even the participants are fuzzy on the details. This much is clear: Tim Wakefield was not selected for the 1995 All-Star Game, and has not been selected for any All-Star Game since.
On Baseball: Little freedom of choice
The ire over Major League Baseball's All-Star Game rosters, as predictable a rite of summer as Fourth of July fireworks and second-degree sunburns, has arrived again. This time most of it is centered around two players: Tim Wakefield, Boston's 42-year-old knuckleballer making his first career All-Star appearance despite a 4.30 ERA, and Ryan Howard, the Phillies first baseman picked...
