The National League Defeated The American League 3-1 In The All-Star Game! Brian McCann won the game on a 2 out 3 Run Double in the 7th inning i believe! McCann also Won The MVP Award!

Thank God The National League Won

Nice to see Scott Rolen started that 3 run rally with a single then came around to score on the McCann double.

I was hoping Votto would have gotten a hit...but at least he put some good contact on Rafael Soria's pitch.

Brandon Phillips made a smart defensive play to nab a runner at 2nd.

Glad to see this for when the Reds will have to use the home field advantage against the Yanks. Wink

That throw from Byrd to get Ortiz out was sick!

It was indeed beautiful!!! Cubs have a ringer of an outfielder in Byrd.

That was kinda a dumb managing decision by Girardi to keep Ortiz in to run the bases...

I mean I understand you didn't have any people left except for A-Rod.

But you could have brought in a AL pitcher to pinch run and he still would have reached 2nd.

Ortiz is extremely slow.

Really shows the importance that it plays in managers mind. This was a logic decision and it just shows that he was not really worried about limiting the outs that the national league can get thus a BIG man who can not run the bases well was caught.
