The fact is that they were unprepared for the circumstances, and it made them look like idiots. The fact that Torre, Sileg, and Brenly had to have a conference for a half an hour in the middle of an inning on what to do is an atrocity and makes them look foolish. When you start making rules on the fly in a proffessional sport, you look dumb, simple as that. In a year that is about to turn suicidal for baseball, the last thing they needed was something like this to happen in an All-Star game. How do you expect players, owners, and Selig to resolve their economic issues when they can't even resolve an All-Star game?
