Michael Kay. The Larry King of Sports Journalism.

If you were lucky enough to have a weekly talk show on the Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network, would you ask Alex Rodriguez who his favorite actress was? Michael Kay would.


Kay doesn't think Nomar should be first in all star voting:

"It's a disgrace and it's results like this that make a mockery of the game and the voting should be taken out of the hands of the fans. Remember, this is not just an exhibition anymore because it decides home field for the World Series and possibly electing a guy who would have not played for the first two and a half months is laughable and sad at the same time."

Precisely because the game counts, Nomar should make the all star game. I'm a Yankee fan who is going to vote for Nomar ... well, I probably won't vote at all because voting is stupid ... but I'm hoping a healthy Nomar can possibly help the AL team win the all star game and thereby possibly help the Yankees get home-field advantage for the World Series. Tejada's making the team, anyway. Who's a more deserving all star: The proven superstar or a half-year wonder like Chris Woodward? I want the AL to win. I want Nomar in the game.
