so while my girlfriend was too busy with her head stuck in her Nintendo DS trying to beat Yoshi i was able to squeeze in the All Star game last night. now baseball is a sport i have mostly given up for dead because of a combination of years of disappointment with my Atlanta Braves and my girlfriend's rabid hatred of said sport, but i always love a good All Star game.
i remember as a kid begging my dad to let me stay up all night just to make sure i got to see Dale Murphy (always the lone Brave in the 80s) get his plate appearance. i have some very vivid memories of All Star games, my all time favorite moment was Bo Jackson crushing a lead off homerun in the '89 All Star game and then going on to win the MVP.
anyways last night's game ended up being one of the best ones i've watched in recent years. Ichiro's inside the park homerun was awesome and the fact that the National League nearly came back and won it in the bottom of the 9th with two outs and down by 3 runs was pretty exciting. but alas another year and another loss for the National League...that's a full decade of losses now. they haven't won since i was in highschool. oh well, it was still a good game and might have sparked my interest in baseball again...but probably not.
oh yeah i almost forgot, FUCK YOU TONY LA RUSSA! you are a stupid douchebag. i can't believe you didn't pinch hit Albert Puljos with the basses loaded in the bottom of the 9th. he's your fucking player dude?!?!?! we have a word for people who make moves like that. FUCKTARD.
