Alternative Headlines

SPORTING GOODS

ESPN.com's #2 headline right now reads: "Pujols angered at La Russa for All-Star benching"

Other headlines they could have gone with:
"National League fans angered at La Russa for Pujols All-Star benching"
"Fans of entertaning baseball angered at La Russa for Pujols All-Star benching"
"Mets, Brewers, Padres, Dodgers angered at 3rd-place La Russa for Pujols All-Star benching"
"Red Sox, Tigers, Indians, Angels send flowers to moron"

Bases loaded, 2 outs, 1-run game, bottom of the 9th. The drama, the excitement, the...what the hell is Pujols doing on the bench while Orlando Hudson and Aaron Rowand take turns at the plate!?!?!

Excellent point and something I wasn't really aware of (and, thus, didn't consider) as I looked over the AS game stories yesterday.
