I think the selection is pretty fair and I think the AL will win the all star game. I wish I was able to see the game live instead of watching it on TV.

I think, with the addition of the players getting to select some of the All-Stars (in addition to the *fans* and the All-Star manager for each league) makes it a little "more fair". I understand that the fans are all about seeing the "big name" players play in the game, but it leaves other players who aren't as well known out of the festivities (and I'm not just saying this because the Padres's second baseman, Mark Loretta, wasn't elected to the game by the fans). I still don't think the idea behind the game determining who has home field advantage in the World Series is the best idea, and I agree with some sports writers that I've been reading in the paper about with interleague play and such that the All-Star game isn't *as exciting* as in the past, when you never saw the other league until October.
However, I'm hoping that the National league will win, but either way, I'll enjoy watching the game!
