AL wins All-Star game, Drew gets MVP

Nothing better than a Sox player winning the all-star game MVP in the Bronx. Drew was a big reason for the AL win and home field advantage for the future 2008 World Series Champs the Red Sox. He drilled a 2-run homer in the 7th inning to tie the game at 2-2, which went onto 15 innings.

Now that was the good news for the Sox, and the bad news was that Paps gave up a run in the 8th, then got booed back to the dugout by the non-classy yankee fans. To make things worse, Rivera came in the 9th inning and pitched a perfect 1.2 innings. Like that is what we needed to make the rivalry heighten even more. Paps run gave a reason for the yankee fans to boo him for his comments earlier about why he should close the all-star game and not Rivera. I think the yankee fans were wrong to boo him. Paps didn't mean nothing towards Rivera and was showing lots of respect for Rivera. He just thought that the man who closed out the win for the world series champs should close the game. He didn't mean nothing bad, and of course the yankees fan are right on his butt about that.

Okay, enough of that.

Varitek came in the game for a short while, just until it was time for his at-bat, then they yanked his butt out of the game. Gos' to show how the team feels about his horrible hitting this season. I have no idea what will happen to him and his red sox future. I know that he is the captain for the red sox and for some reason, they win more when he is in the game this season, but his offense is just sad. He always seems to come up in big situation moment, and he always strikeouts or pop ups. He can't just hit the ball far to score the run, he has to pop it up in the in field. This needs to stop soon, and he needs to find his stroke like he had his many previous years. This gos' the same for Lugo who does the same exact thing as Varitek, only he has bad defense also. I have no idea why we still have him on our roster. Why don't we just play Cora or Lowrie? Can't do no worse, and they at least can get those plays we need to score a run, or can actually throw a runner out. I say just play them for now on, then get a better SS for next season and get rid of Lugo ASAP.

Okay back to the all-star game again.

Man Ram and Pedroia had a hitless game and struck out twice which is quite disappointing. Ah well, Pedroia will have many, many more all-star games in his future, and Man Ram doesn't need to prove himself anymore.

I must say that I feel bad for Uggla this all-star week. He get eliminated in the first round of the home run derby, make 3 errors, and hits into a DP in the all-star game. Now that is poor luck, and I feel bad for the man. I thought he was going to shine this week, but I was more than wrong.

Well, that is this years all-star game, and lets hope for more memories in next years all-star game.
