The baseball all star game was last night. The game started with the pitchers ruling.. as any good game will be. The pitchers especially the all star pitchers were pretty incredible.
The middle of the game had a huge amount of infield work. This is still a pretty soft area of baseball considering the history. I know the runners run faster these days. But there was actually a pick off at first.. kind of a strange happening in a big league game these days. There were sacrifice bunts and players were thrown out trying to stretch hits into doubles. In the later innings there were lots of base runners, since the pitchers had pitched on Sunday and this was Tuesday. The Giants pitcher flaked out.. Linsacome.. a great pitcher showed up to NT with flu like symptoms. The national league was sorely missing his arm..
The American League flat ran out of pitchers. The winning pitcher had pitched on Sunday and even he was a little wild.
So what started as a bang bang pitchers duel ran into the night and into the early morning as a marathon... a 4 hour plus game. Thats baseball.

Does that mean that the National League actually WON the Allstars game?
