Post All-Star Game Thoughts


Nobody is saying it was pretty.

You know, the record-breaking 34 strikeouts.

Or the record-breaking 28 men left on base.

Or the record-breaking three errors by ONE player.

Or the 15 inning, four hour and 50 minute marathon of a game that seemingly NOBODY wanted to win.

No, in many ways it wasn't pretty.

But nobody -- and I do mean, nobody -- is saying it wasn't truly special.

Because it was.

So many things to remember: Dan Uggla's horrific night, the pre-game ceremony honoring 49 living legends, the dramatic plays (and boy were there a lot of them), the pure thought of another tie like in 2002; with the added bonus that Bud Selig was cringing in his seat for six-plus innings, and of course, the game that NEVER ended.

And well, the live-blog (written by yours truly) that NEVER ended, either.

Was it the most well-played all-star game ever?

No. Just ask Dan Uggla.

But was it the most entertaining one we've seen in a long, long time?

Yes. Just don't ask Dan Uggla.
