All-Star Game

Hello all

So, yesterday was the all-star game, and of course, like always, the AL won. The final was 4-3 after a Michael Young sac fly in the bottom of the 15th. Yes that's right. 15 innings were played yesterday, and I hope that this never happens again. I mean, yes it does decide who gets home field advantage in the show, but seriously, 15 innings that the best players in the game were playing. 2 pitchers that were specifically asked not to pitch, had to because there was simply no one else. I believe that there needs to be another way to determine home field advantage as opposed to risking the health of the players involved in the all-star game. Maybe a coin toss or rock-paper-scissors? All it is going to take for it to be changed is for Brad Lidge, who warmed up to come in the game 6 different times, to report that he is sore. The Phillies closer is a major part of that team, and if they hope to keep in contention, they need him to be 100%. Anyway, I'm sorry for this half-hearted blog today, I just didn't want to lwave you with nothing to read.

Oh, and Ben Sheets pitched the first two innings with 3 K's and 2 BB's (I think) and Braun went 0-3 just like Corey Hart.
