Top 1st
Prince Fielder’s error actually caused me to say the words, “Ha ha, fat ass”. I don’t ‘dislike’ Prince Fielder. (In fact, I’m even in awe of his name) But I’m a little protective of Albert. So when the “people” chose Fielder over Albert, I got pissed. I know, Fielder’s having a better first half. But I love my Phat Albert. Hey hey hey!
Anyways, David Wright makes a great play and nobody scored. 0-0
Bottom 1st
Jose Reyes is so cool to watch. I said this in NY and I’ll say it again. He’s awesome to watch on TV but everything is so much cooler in person. He’s so quick and fields oh-so-smoothly. So he got a hit, stole a base (duh) and Griffey (whom I love) got a base hit (yay!) to make it 1-0. GO NATIONAL LEAGUE!
Top 2nd
Is it just me, or did Brad Penny start last year’s All-Star game. I can’t remember, is he the one who left his wife for the reporter?…hmmm, I’ll have to look that up.
Sigh, I miss Albert. Nice throw by Reyes. Still 1-0.
Bottom 2nd
Well well well, look who it is. Prince Fielder. Haren walked him. Fielder seems young. Watching a cute little video on him. Whoa, he has a son? Interesting. Haren seems like he’s laboring…but Cabrera strikes out.
Top 3rd
Ichiro and Jeter got hits with 2 outs against Sheets. David Ortiz is up. Yay L Arg, Sheets, arg. Phew, Ortiz hit a line drive, but right at Jr. Yowza. Phew.
Ha ha, this Burger King commercial cracks me the hell up. These people try to shut their grumbling stomachs by insanely yelling at them, “SHUT UP!!” LMAO. So apparently this sandwich shuts their stomachs up. Nice.
Bottom 3rd
Beckett’s in. Oh DANG, a ball just got passed A-Rod. It had some spin on it and when it hit the ground it bounced away.What a freak accident. (na na na-boo boo) Reyes is at 2nd base. Bonds is up…OHHH, it ALMOST looked like Bonds hit a HR but it was caught at the warning tracks. Joe Buck’s talking to Jim Leyland who reminds me of an awesome grandpa. I wonder if people accidentally call Joe by his dad’s name “Jack”. Reyes moved over to 3rd but Griffey strikes out.
Top 4th
They’re showing A-Rod’s walk-off HRs in the 1st half of the season. They’re playing “don’t stop believing” which reminds me of that series finale episode of The Sopranos. A-Rod got a base hit, then stole 2nd but now there are 2 outs. Ha ha, someone just got a hit and Griffey threw out A-Rod at the plate. So far Griffey’s the clear MVP!
Bottom 4th
I wanna see Pujols! AHHHH! Anyways, Beckett versus David Wright. Ball hits mound but Brian Roberts throws Wright out. Fielder hits line drive but Ichiro catches it. Russell Martin’s up. Oh my God, Joe Buck is in love with talking about Bonds and steroids. ENOUGH. ENOOOOOUGH! Make it stop! Ok, Russell Martin strikes out and I still haven’t seen Pujols.
Booooooooriiiiing.
Top 5th
Ummm, Derrek Lee is at 1st base. I wanna see Pujols L Is La Russa trying to set up some dramatic show down at the end? Ok, so Lee is at first and his fighting counterpart, Chris Young, is pitching. Buck just made a funny joke saying their fighting clips from earlier this season looked like a scene from the movie, “300”. Nice.
Lead-off walk by Young, BOOOO! What’s wrong with you!? Aren’t you pitching a 2.00 ERA? Get it together! Ok, pop-fly by Jorge Posada. HAHAHA, Eric Byrnes dog was practically forced off a boat to get a baseball floating (which Byrnes threw into the water) and the dog swam the opposite away. They had to rescue the dog. Joe Buck kept saying, “just get your dog back on your boat, Byrnes.”
So Ichiro gets an inside the park HR. What a fucking loser Young is. Get him out! 2-1 American League. Ok, 3 outs recorded. But behold, National League is losing. ARG.
Bottom 5th
Nothing happened. But Eric Byrnes dog, Bruno, is safe. We can all sleepy peacefully tonight. ( side note: I really was worried about the dog.)
Top 6th
A-Rod flies out. Vlad flies out. Crawford hits a HR after a good AB. 3-1 AL. Chase Utley makes another fine play to end the inning.
Bottom 6th
Great, Justin Verlander is in. Beltran gets a triple. Yahoo! Whatdya know, the NY reporter guy is interviewing a Yankee, Jeter. As if I care about the Yankees. So Griffey hits a sack fly, now 3-2. Wright shatters his bat hitting it up the middle. Matt Holliday is up. 2 outs but Wright’s at 2nd. Ok, Russell Martin, what ya got in you. Apparently nuthin, pop up. Blah.
Top 7th
Ok, so I have to point something funny out. Before the game started and they introduced the players, Joe Buck announced the “reserves” as the camera focused on each player. All you could hear after that was Manny Ramirez saying, “reserves? Reserves! Did you hear that? Reserves!” and the camera keeps moving on, 3-4 people later you still hear him in the background going, “Reserves!” Anyways, 1-2-3 outs.
7th Inning Stretch- Some Grammy winner is singing “God Bless America.” It’s ok. Not nearly as bad as Chris Isaac and his homie singing “National Anthem”. Shiver.
Bottom 7th
Ok, let’s go NL! (CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP!) LET’S GO NL! (CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP!)
Carlos Lee is in. It’s crazy that Johan Santana is pitching in the 7th inning, like some relief pitcher. Lee strikes out looking stupid. Sucks to be him. He was close to hitting a HR in this AB, close but not cigar. Soriano at the plate. Strikes out looking. A change-up beauty from Santana. BEAU-TI-FUL. Reyes is out, 1-2-3 inning for Santana.
Top 8th
No Pujols yet? This doesn’t feel like an All-Star game. Why won’t Tony put his star player in? I don’t even understand. I’m sad. So sad. So very sad. COMMERCIAL* Haha, that video game with Albert Pujols called “The Bigs” is featuring his commercial with his voice. But no Pujols playing in the All Star game yet…COME ON LA RUSSA!
Now that commercial with Charlie thinking about Hank…and his dad, brought to you by State Farm Insurance and making me cry for 2 days. OK, back to the game. Billy Wagner is up. Lowell gets a hit right away. Of Course. Oh, Big Papi’s hobby is cooking. Good to know.
Nice play by Freddy Sanchez playing at 3rd to get the out by that bull pen area. He practically caught it over his shoulder. Grady “McHottie” Sizemore is up at bat. Sizemore strikes out, the 1st for the NL tonight. So Victor Martinez hits a HR to make it 5-2 AL. Wow, Billy Wagner sucks ass as well. Why do these great NL pitchers always suck ass in the All Star Game. Carl Crawford is batting. Reyes throws him out. AL still dominant, apparently.
Bottom 8th
Well, I’m pissed. Not only is the NL losing, but Albert Pujols hasn’t played yet. Why have I been watching this, then? Either way, I have to leave to watch Harry Potter at the theater soon. Book 5 wasn’t my favorite, but I haven’t read it in a while and the movie will sort of be unpredictable in that way, seeing as to how I’ve forgotten quite a bit. But it’s all good. Ok, Derrek Lee floats a blooper into center field. Not before Tim McCarver called Papelbon “wonderfully whimsical”. How about you’re a “weirdo”, McCarver. Utley’s fun fact is he “likes to dance at weddings” according to the player profile thing. Funny.
Orlando Hudson strikes out but Lee stole. Tim McCarver busts my balls. He’s annoying. Aaron Rowand, the guy who ran into the fence face first catching a ball, is up at bat. Remember, he smashed his nose? Yeah, that guy. Anyways, Lee advanced on a wild pitch (or passed ball, I dunno) but Rowand strikes out and the next guy (wasn’t paying attention) flies out. Still, no Pujols. Still not worth watching the game.
Top 9th
Orlando gets the 1st out by making a nice play at 2nd. Brian Roberts is up at bat. Hoffman pitching. Gives up double to Posada. Now they’re talking about the umpire who’s umpiring for his last year before retiring. He started in 1971! He was also at that game b/w the Sox and Yankees when A-Rod and Varitek got into a fight. Coolness. Ok, scoreless night for Hoffman. One year too late, buddy. Holliday, McCann and a pinch hitter are up.
Bottom 9th
Ok, so I really, really need to leave to go watch Potter. But now I’m thinking Pujols might pinch hit. But I need to go. What to do- what to do? I’ll give it 6 minutes, then I’m getting the hell out.
Ok, so swear to god (why would I lie), the closer’s name is Putz. His last name, anyway. I could have fun with this guy if he played in the NL (he plays for the Mariners). Strikes out Holliday. McCann is batting now. I guess Pujols isn’t in La Russa’s plans. BOOOOOOO! What a waste of my time!
Just hurry up so I can leave. 2 outs, McCann pops up. Dimitri Young is up. What a fun guy. I hope he gets on base so Pujols can bat at least once. I mean, COME ON! Soriano’s on deck?! AKH! AKH!!!!! Anyways, Demitri Young has 2 strikes. Down to his final strike. They’re pronouncing it “puts” but we all know its “PUTZ” as you would normally read it. A-duh.
Game continues. Roberts can’t make the play. Young at 1st. Soriano is 0-2 but digging in.
HARDY IS ON DECK!?!? OK, I am gone. Syanora. I know they lost.
Notes from a Day Later
Ok, so the talk of the town (and national media, actually) is how TLR left Pujols, his star player…THE star player, out of the game. He apparently had a chance to pinch hit Pujols with bases loaded and he let Rowand hit for himself…and subsequently pop up to end the game. Wow, what a disappointing move by TLR. I waited for almost 3 freakin hours to see Pujols and nada-nuthin-uh uh. Anyways, maybe next year? I can’t think about this for too long or it’ll piss me off. But just to update everyone: Yes, Pujols was disappointed not to play but he's not pissed off like ESPN reported (stupid ESPN) and TLR admitted he probably should of put Pujols in. So there, you go, all is well.
On a side note, loved the new Harry Potter movie. In fact, I loved it more than the book (which never-ever happens). It was well directed and makes my appetite for all things Harry Potter stronger than ever before. The book comes out soon, I can't wait!
