The National League finally won an All-Star game.  This is the first time the NL has won since 1996 as they defeated the AL 3-1.  Joe Girardi is getting criticized for mis-managing last night's game as he made questionable pitching changes, did not pinch run for David Ortiz, and did not even play Alex Rodriguez.  This is why I hate that this game determines home field advantage in the biggest stage in baseball.  The game is supposed to be fun, a break from the day-to-day grind of a 162-game schedule, but instead, a manager has to coach like it is game seven of the World Series.  Even the Los Angeles Angels' fans were booing the Yankees during pre-game introductions.  Shouldn't they be rooting for the American League to win in case they make the World Series?  I would have done the same thing.  The All-Star game is supposed to be an exhibition, and Major League Baseball continues to screw this up.

Here is the rundown of today's guests:

Fay Vincent:  The former MLB commissioner talks about George Steinbrenner.

John Eisenberg:  The BaltimoreRavens.com contributor gives his thoughts on the Ravens.

Matt Williamson:  The ESPN.com writer talks about the NFL
