All Star Game

Hey All,

Yesterday was the MLB All Star Game, and it was a good showing for the National League. The final score of the game was 5-1 in favor of the NL. I normally don't like All Star Games. Mainly because it's all the best players playing at the same time, so there's no real big plays, and the scoring is low. The only time you will get a run is when someone hits a HR. That was the case in this game. The AL got the scoring started with a solo shot by Adrian Gonzalez to put the AL up 1-0. It was short lived thought, the NL's Prince Fielder came out and hit a huge 3 run HR to give the NL the lead for the night. Had it not been for him I think the final might have been 1-0 AL and gave them the home field advantage in the World Series. Instead, Fielder came through big for his team. Maybe it has something to do with the poor showing from the NL in the Homerun Derby the night before? The one thing that upset me about the NL pitching decisions is that Kevin Correia did not get to pitch in the game. If this is an All Star game, and you get selected to play in the game, then you should actually get to play in the game and not just sit in the bullpen or on the bench the whole game. I know some people might call the "childish" but it only seems fair. One last fact about the game is that this is the first time in a long time that the NL has won back to back years in the All Star game, since it was for home field advantage. Since they made that rule change the NL is 7-2 (counting last night) against the AL in this game. With the power house teams in the AL; lets see if home field advantage has the same affect it did last year, with the San Fransisco Giants winning the World Series, and help another NL team in winning the Series.
