At last night’s All-Star Game, it was a bit of a snoozer. Not a great game, not a bad one. But a highlight of the night came when the attention shifted poolside for a tipsy-drunk Justin Timberlake interview. He expressed his appreciation for beer, which FOX promptly covered up with a large overlay advertisement in order to not show Timberlake’s over-sized beer cup. He also went on to not-so-subtly mock FOX announcer Joe Buck for “calling a great game.” Buck is one of the least popular announcers among baseball fans for those unaware. In all, Timberlake likely gained a small bit of appreciation from ASG viewers in the process by giving one hell of an interview.

(Sorry about the preceding ad, I have no control over it.)

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m always curious about how a baseball player spends his off days, as well as time before games. For that reason, this video diary from Rangers Starting Pitcher C.J. Wilson is great. Wilson and teammates Darren O’Day and Doug Mathis hang around in San Francisco and show they’re just regular guys looking to have some fun in their down time. It’s worth a watch:

For a great read, check out SI’s Jimmy Traina’s interview with Wilson, further proof that some athletes can be level-headed, good people.

Here is a video interview (a little rough around the edges) with the authors of Jews and Baseball, An American Love Story.

If you ever wanted to hear about the different type of superstitions baseball players have, then you came to the right place!

In this edition of ClubHouseGas from a couple years ago they talk with some Atlanta Braves (when they had Mark Teixeira) about their superstitions.
