Maybe it’s not a complete whitewash. Evan Longoria is supposedly Latino, though he’s from Los Angeles. This Latino designation is confirmed by Machochip.com. I think a name like “Evan” gives him 500 Caucasian points. (“Chase Utley” is 200,000 Caucasian points, while “Lance Berkman” actually breaks the Caucasian-name point scale.) Still, that’s one out of 8 contestants, after Latin players had won five of the previous six derbies. Who is the deputy commisioner of baseball, Lou Dobbs?
Chris Garcia reports that every time the camera cuts to Manny Ramirez, he is just scowling and shaking his head. I hypothesize that Manny is confused and thinks tonight is the actual All-Star Game, and is upset that he and Big Papi aren’t playing.
