Considering the year he's had, I think it's actually pretty fitting.

Pfft, there's only one All-Star game that matters.

QFT.
Yay? It doesn't matter to me really...
More importantly though, the Red Sox have the possibility of 6 players going to the All-Star game. That's fucking incredible.

I wish I could get into hockey. I just can't for some reason. Probably because I'd have to be a Bruins fan. :/
Now, if the Whalers ever came back, it'd be a different story. Oh, my lovely Whalers!

Holliday and Fuentes - go Rockies.

a) the only good thing the whalers ever did was popularize Brass Bonanza.
b) what's so bad about the Bruins?

ahh yes. You may be my new favorite person here

A. The Whalers are incredibly awesome, mostly because Hartford is 30 minutes away from me and I'd be able to go to like every game. But, they are also awesome because everybody, and I mean everybody in Connecticut loves them to death. They probably have the biggest fanbase for any defunct team ever.
B. I don't like them because they aren't the Whalers.

Half the people in CT come up to me and ask how the whalers are doing. They would never go to see them actually play. They only like them because they are no longer here (and yes, people have come up to me during the playoffs and asked me how they're doing)
"bleed blue and green" is bullshit. If so many people cared about them, why were they going bankrupt and the state wouldn't build them a new arena?
B. I don't like them because they aren't the Whalers.
That is their best advantage

Do they still digitally add red tracers to the puck during the telecast? Gotta love that! :p As for hockey in general - much better live than in t.v.

The insurance companies left. Hartford's a bit poorer than it used to be. :/
I still love them unconditionally. It's just so sad that Connecticut doesn't have a pro-sports team anymore*.

Um...Hartford has been doing better recently...and still has almost all the insurance companies.
and the sun/womens basketball is a joke.

It's still not like it used to be. Hartford used to be filled with a bunch of upstart white collar kids fresh out of college. Now it's practically a ghetto. Well, in the CT sense of the word.

Absolutely fitting. Like him or not (and please, people, spare me the self-righteous calls of "cheater"), he's a first ballot Hall of Famer (unless the writers show their collective asses) and he's had a fine first half, which would have been even better had pitchers not lost their nerves about 6 weeks ago and started walking him twice a game again.

Not the Hartford I ever knew...it was a drity, poor, trashy city utterly divided by a highway and a bridge. Drive around the old Civic Center, and you'll see a total revival from the 90's. Even the area around the Webster has gotten better.
After all, it is "New Englands rising star!" ;)

It's going to be kind of difficult for the Whalers to come back, since the New Haven Coliseim has been torn down. They'd need a new one.
Also, since I don't care about hockey, I don't love the Whalers to death.

Never been to Quebec, eh? They have a long memory with the ex-Nordiques.
Also, Daniel Briere + Flyers = WIN!!!! :D *does the "We're not gonna suck anymore" dance*
OT: Why not Jimmy Rollins in the All-Star Game? He's been an AS before, and this year is the best season he's ever had. Biggest snub. Howard should be on the team, but he was hurt for a while there.

Not when it's in Dallas.........
Baseball is tainted for me...The Giants should let Bonds get to 754 Career Home Runs...Then not play him for the rest of the season...Then no one should sign him in the off season......
