Joe, I would not call Schilling an inferior pitcher to Randy Johnson. He is among the best in baseball and deserves to start in this game; however, there are a lot of things that should be changed to keep the game at the level it has been at over the years! Managers, players and coaches should choose the alternate players by a vote count, and not leave it to the manager to pick his "home boys" and favorites. Valentine is a clown and should be next manager fired in big leagues, and Torre is a great manager, who has really screwed up this year with the choices he made.
They should increase roster size by a couple more players and not require that each team be represented by one player. That was fine when we had 20 teams or 16 teams, but not today. Charlie
