Fartsauce 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 This is usually my favourite part of the All Star break and this year i'm actually more excited about it. I may be in the minority but I actually like the format of one person per country. I'll be supporting Jason Bay although I don't think he's going to take it. I'm going to go with Teixeira or possibly Andruw Jones. Predictions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
