And, piety of that statement aside, it's mostly based in truth.

The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of one of their worst seasons in the last 25 years.

There's no doubt that they have been bad in just about every area this year and it's been tough to watch.

I have to admit that I have seen less White Sox baseball this season than I can ever remember, and that's not by accident.

As we approach the July 31st trade deadline for Major League Baseball, the Sox find themselves in a position that they are not particularly accustomed to.

The St. Louis Cardinals once again have the best record in baseball. If they can match that performance in the second half of the season, they're looking at over 100 wins.

But in order to do so, some players may need to step up.

The great paradigm shift in Major League Baseball could mean a lot for the results of the annual All-Star game. Specifically, how all the young impact talent in the National League sets it up for a big run of success in the Midsummer Classic.

The 2013 MLB All-Star Game is finally upon us, as the festivities have ended and the fight for home-field advantage in the World Series will soon commence. While everyone knows that the game will transpire, there's one question that everyone needs answered.

When and where can we watch the game?

Let’s be honest: Every hitter in the MLB All-Star Game is capable of a huge performance. No one made it to the Midsummer Classic without having already proven that time and again this season.

But every hitter is going to be facing some tremendous pitching in the game, and there’s a reason the American League and National League haven’t combined for more than eight runs in any of the last five All-Star Games.
