So, regardless on your feelings of the All-Star Game, I imagine most are going to be watching it anyways, if not for the fact that we have some of our own guys in there, too.
So, can the NL finally win one?
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Hi Matthew! Yep, gonna watch the game. It'll be strange rooting for Lincecum.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Babe Herman:Hi Matthew! Yep, gonna watch the game. It'll be strange rooting for Lincecum.
The little skate rat seems to have a few jitters.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Pujols shows he's human. Boots one, and Jeter scores

Hey, Dave! How are ya? Indeed, it is, although he's not giving me much to root for, right now.
Way to miss the bag, Olive Oil. 2-0 AL.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Lincecum forgets his fundamentals, fails to cover first to complete the DP, and a second run scores. No guarantee on the DP.
Young grounds out 5-3 to get the 3rd out of the inning. 2-0, AL.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Tim McCarver deserves his own idiocy gene thread. How many times can he confuse Albert Pujols' first name with a journeyman catcher? Luis Pujols was a backup catcher with no offensive skills for several years with Houston. Yet, McCarver continuously calls the future Hall of Famer by the name of Luis. He just slipped up in his call on that ground ball wide of first that ALBERT Pujols booted. Hey, Tim, pull your head out.
Our future Ace has a 1-2-3 innig, whith a little help from Michael Young on a wicked shot by Albert.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Licksumcu...I mean Lincecum, looks like a fine representative for the SF Giants.

I've gotten to the point I can usually tune out that waste of oxygen. Buck is insufferable as a play-by-play guy as well. Sure ain't his daddy.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Stinky seems to have settled down.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!bigblaster:Stinky seems to have settled down.
Much better results.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."The Prez just gave some love to our team.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!And the Cardinal is a hero. Not Pujols, Molina. Game tied, 2-2.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Yadi comes through!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!FIELDER DOUBLES IN MOLINA! 3-2 NL!
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Prince hittng for Stinky gives NL the lead!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Bring in Billz!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Nice inning!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!bigblaster:Bring in Billz!
That would be sweet, though I wouldn't be surprised to see Haren.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.By the way, I know there's a lot of criticisms of the All-Star game and all of that, but either way, admit it... after 12 freaking years, you guys have to want to win this one badly, right?
I'm almost into it like a Dodgers game because of that alone.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Franklin? Wasn't expecting that, though he gets the first out.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Ryan Franklin with a muskrat on his chin gets 2 quick outs.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Wow, you could just hear in his voice just how touched Halladay was from the whole experience.

I thought that was Stonewall Jackson.
Poor fella, he has no ideaMatthew:Wow, you could just hear in his voice just how touched Halladay was from the whole experience.

Pujols locks it down.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Were we subjected to the epitome of political correctness during the throwing of the ceremonial first pitch? Never mind what any of us thinks of the President (the election is over, last time I checked); but why didn't they show the CF view of his toss...? [Note: As I write this, FOX is showing a replay of his respectable pitch... Apparently because it was a relatively well-thrown ball!]
I have to believe that the White House Communications Office negotiated (unfortunately) that camera angle as part of the President's agreement to participate. Turns out he throws more like he shoots a basketball, and less like he bowls (& quite possibly the reason for hedging their bet with the camera angle!)
I, for one, just wish these things weren't so scripted...
Politics... (Argh...!)

Oh, hell yeah. This may be our home field advantage we're talking about.
