The real reason for poor All-Star Game ratings: Tim McCarver

Tonight is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The only real reason to watch is to see if Commentator Joe Buck can fool his broadcast partner, Tim McCarver, into a game of "Let's play let's be quiet."

Not sure if I remember this correctly, but the funniest line in "Fever Pitch" comes from McCarver, who says something along the lines of "I hate to interrupt..." Any baseball fan knows that McCarver loves nothing more than to interrupt.

If you happen to be consuming alcoholic beverages while watching the All-Star Game, you might try taking a swig every time McCarver says, "actually," you'll be drunk in no time.

Please, Bud Selig, for next year's All-Star game, can the winning team have the priviledge of hog-tying McCarver and running him out of town?

Now, if Texas Rangers pitcher and All-Star Kenny Rogers went after McCarver, I would support a reduction in his 20 game suspension for beating on a cameraman.
