Ozzie Guillen is heading up the American League right? I'd like to see what he has to say.

Do they do it like that? A tournament bracket thing? I thought all eight went and then the top two went again?
Anyway, on ESPN.com I voted for Ryan Howard so thats what I'll stay at. |

Well, hey being a Pirate Fan, can say this... Atleast our Stadium is great lol. I hope Howard doesnt turn out like Abreu, but all the theorist that blame the HRD for him falling off the Earth, thats just ridiculous.

First all star game and stuff i saw was 1999 when Pedro wiped the floor with the NL and Mark McGwire hit about 200 home runs half way across Boston, that was pretty sweet even if he was blatantly injecting roids into his jeb-end

I dunno, kinda hard to picture Brad Penny shutting down that AL lineup.
My guess is AL wins it again, but the NL could score some runs if the worst All-Star in history (Mark Redman) gets put in the game for some reason. |

Mike Piazza hit a home run out into the parking lot at Dodger Stadium (at least once, maybe twice) which is pretty ridiculous

Question: They say "this game counts" and the winner gets homefield in the World Series and all, but what about some of the players that know they will not be going to the series (like Redman). Are they really playing 100%? Do they give a shit whether another player from another city that is playing with him gets homefield?

None of the players are playing 100% whether they're in a race or not

Mets shining so far. That ball must have looked like a beachball to Wright. Beltran with great baserunning presense

God, I knew that would fucking happen as soon as Konerko hit that single.
Oh well, I figured AL would win anyway...I just wish they could have made it less depressing. Ah well, gonna try and get tix for Games 3, 4, and 5 at Shea now
