<=> MLB All-Star Game, 8:07 pm Eastern, FOX - This time, it counts. Or something like that. Baseball's best go head-to-head in San Fransisco with the winning league earning home-field advantage in the World Series. Of course, there are other reason's to watch this game. Like Barry Bonds. Not only is he playing in the only stadium that won't boo him every time he breathes, but he's batting second. The last time Bonds batted second was either when he came in to pinch-hit on a double switch, or when he was half his current size and playing in Pittsburgh. The National League hasn't won since 1996, although they came close in 2002, which was also the year the American League didn't win either.
