That's the Ball Game!

The American League has won it's 12th consecutive All-Star game in a row! This was one of the best ASG's ever, without a doubt. 15 innings long at 4 hrs. and 55 mins. the game was tied at 3 to 3 till the bottom of the 15th when Michael Young hit an RBI sac-fly to get Justin Monreau in for the final run!

I feel bad for Dan Uggla, becoming the worst All-Star since it's inception. That stinks...

Just a reminder to all of you who actually read this blog, the polls are open until Monday the 28th. I'll bring in some more polls soon, be sure to check back for updates!
