All-Star Advice for Bud

OK Bud, saw you sweating at the ASG when it got to be about 3 a.m. and Clint Hurdle was warming up to pitch. Well, I'll do you a favor. I'll solve your All-Star woes in two steps.

1. Have an 8-man "supplemental roster" - 5 pitchers, 3 position players (1 a catcher) - for each team. These players become available for the manager to use once the game goes into extra innings. No more "Can Lidge pitch a sixth inning?" worries.

2. For God's sake, get rid of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. They're embarrassing. (Personally, I like the suggestion in one of the comments below - Alphonso and Peter Abraham. Anything but Buck and McCarver).

You're welcome.
