This One Was A Doozee

This year's MLB All-Star Game was one of the most uninteresting ones that I've watched in a long time. Not only was it one of the lowest-scoring games in All-Star history, it was also one of the shortest, being 2 hours and 33 minutes.What also sucked was that Dodger Nomar Garciapara didn't get any playing time.

However it did have it's rare exciting moments. The most memorable being the top of the 9th inning when Micheal Young of the Texas Rangers hit a two-run triple with two outs to go. Another being when Vladimir Guerrero of the Angels hit a homerun off of Dodger and National Leauge starting pitcher Brad Penny in the 2nd inning. Other than that, Penny had a relatively good game, striking out three straight batters (among them Derek Jeter and Ichiro Suzuki) at the top of thr 1st.

If Trevor Hoffman from the Padres had been able to close the game and secure the win for the national league, it would have made up for the overall boringness of the game. It would have been nice to see a change of pace and see the National League have home-court advantage during the World Series.Ever since that format was started four years ago, the American League has gone on to win each All-Star game and that year's World Series.

The All-Star game proves every year just how dominate the teams and players from the American League are. It seemed as if things were going to change, but we won't know until the World Series.
