Detroit is playing good and all four of those guys deserve to be here. But this game has always been about style and flamboyance. At the end of a year, when a team wins a championship, they talk about teamwork. At an All-Star Game, it's all about dunks, the lobs and the shooting. |

Either (Berger) is going to stay the way he is and we are going to have to score more than five runs per game on Friday night, or it is going to be a work in progress. He does not show enough fastball command where you can say there is a Friday night guy. Our guy has the ability. |
