Here's a little something to stir up some mid-summer baseball
discussion:

As we all know, the Americans finally defeated the Nationals in the
annual All-Star classic after a 12 year drought. Of course this does
not indicate any American League superiority, even considering the
magnitude of this year's victory. It does, however, raise a few questions
for discussion.

1.) Does the National League's record of 19 wins in 20 years indicate
    that the NL is *really* superior to the AL? Does it indicate anything?

2.) If the NL as a whole is not superior, why did they win 19 of 20 games?

3.) Does anybody *really* care about the All-Star game?
