Well it's that time of the year. Players rest. Minds are eased. A meaningless game is televised by Fox as fans listen to McCarver rant.
It's the time of year when Bud Selig tries to convince anyone and everyone that the game means something and that this game is an appropriate means to decide home field advantage in the World Series.
Yes indeed, it's that time.
At least the NY writers have churned out some good articles on this All-Star Tuesday to bring us some meaning.
Alex still the Great?

Jeter turning back time?
Jeter is the oldest shortstop to start in an All-Star game since Luis Aparicio in 1971. Mark Craig says t0 the 35-year-old, age is just a number.
Doc brings the right medicine for the Yanks?
Kevin Keernan believes the Bombers should trade for Roy Halladay because it's a perfect fit. Joba Chamberlain and Austin Jackson should not be off limits.
Yankees Universe?

There is another team in New York!
Ken Davidoff over at Newsday says the Mets are talking a good talk despite the reality of their situation.

That's it for the All-Star links in the NY media.
But here are some quick hits on US Soccer

Bob Bradley not loving Obama's promise to a Brazilian official?
And how the Red Bulls coaching staff is safe for now.
And last but certainly not least some gossip:

Maybe.
NAH...made my day!
