All-Star Break

Only a few things have really bugged me about this All-Star event. First, how many times are we going to have to hear "Allstar" by Smash Mouth? Gawd, that song grates on the nerves after 50 times or so. The other thing I am sick to death of hearing is "AL is dominant over the NL" shut the hell up! Yes, they kicked the NL's butts during inter-league play and they have won the past 9 all star games. However, who won the homerun derby? hmmm? Ryan Howard of the Philles a NL player! As I type this, the NL team is winning at the bottom of the 7th with 6 hits and 2 runs over the AL's 3 hits and 1 run. I hope the NL can keep it together and win this thing so the sports writers will shut the hell up. But if the AL does lose, I can hear it now:

oh, the AL was suffering from the missing Manny Ramirez
the AL did not play their best game
the AL had trouble with the PH issue
if there had been DH's instead, the AL would have won it all

It doesn't matter. The poor NL is damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they lose, the headlines will say "of course" and if they win the headlines will say "what happened to the AL? they were robbed" blah blah blah blah blah

GO NATIONAL LEAGUE!!

*UPDATE*
the NL lost in the top of the 9th. oh god, I cannot even listen, read, watch, view, peruse, glance, overhear, lip-read or whatever it takes to communicate about baseball for the next two days. Garner, I am praying for you. The natives will tear you to pieces and exhalt that loud mouth Guillen tomorrow. Love ya Gar! You did great.
