All-Star Recap
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Well, the Astros won't get home field advantage in the World Series. :)
The American League continued their dominance in the All-Star game, winning by a score of 7-5 last night. The National League hasn't won the contest since 1996 (there was the infamous tie in 2002). However, the AL's supremacy in the All-Star game generally doesn't mean a World Series victory - the NL team has won a respectable 4 out of the last 10.
The game wasn't as close as the score suggested and I found it to be fairly boring. There were a few runs scored, but by the sixth inning the game was pretty much decided, since the American League had a 7-0 lead. The only factor left to be resolved was whether or not the NL would get shut out. They scraped together a few runs at the end of the game and made the score look respectable, but there wasn't much drama throughout.

Hey . . .how about that Brewers win last night - bottom of the 10th, guys on first and third and the pitcher throws a BALK!! Brewers win. Hate to be that pitcher looking in the mirror today. Bummer!! Not even some rookie, but a seasoned player. Bummer for him.
But for us? A win is a win . . .
How's my Astro's doing? Haven't checked their stats lately.

Not too well, Kris. Unfortunately, they had to start out playing the Cardinals in St. Louis after the All-Star break and they lost all three games, even though the pitchers pitched very well.
Good game tonight, though. They scored 11 runs in a win versus Pittsburgh. Hopefully, they can keep that going!
