Not to go all firejoemorgan on you, but I had to point out a gem from John Kruk on Sportscenter this morning. Krukie--best known for being a star on some pretty wild Phillies teams and now a totally incompetent baseball analyst--proclaimed that the only chance the NL had to win today's All-Star game was if Albert Pujols hit a three-run first-inning homer.

Now, that's a pretty bold prediction, and raises some questions: can the NL win if Pujols hits a grand slam instead? Will the runs not count if he hits a homer in, say, the third inning? And why couldn't David Wright, Miguel Cabrera, or Home Run Derby Champion Ryan Howard hit the home run instead?

But it's best not to question Kruk, the guy that said Randy Johnson would win 30 games last year. Needless to say, it'll be interesting to see how this bold statement plays out.

Also, did anyone see Kruk look like a tub of goo in the celebrity softball game last night? And how about the fact that, of all the random celebrities in the game (including Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, and Dean Cain), the one idiot that managed to get caught in a rundown was John Kruk, former baseball player?

Someone really should have live-blogged that game. Unfortunately, I tuned out whenever the camera left Sarah Silverman. But here's another juicy tidbit from ESPN's helpful little graphics: Danny Masterson (from That 70s Show) says that he would give up acting in a second if he could make millions of dollars playing softball.

Well, that's a pretty wild statement, Danny, but I'll go even farther--I would give up writing and computer programming in a millisecond if I could make even a single million playing softball. Heck, even $50,000 a year would do it for me.

How's that for going out on a limb?
