Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on...let's play and play and keep on playing well past the point that you are out of players...

Innings 1-5 prove my theory that all-star games are boring as hell. Inning 6, I realize that we might actually lose home field advantage in the world series. Inning 7, I start to get stressed out that we will lose home field advantage. What the heck? Doesn't the AL always win??? Inning 7, JD Freaking Drew, I love you! I pray for you to get a base hit and what do you do, in your first all-star appearance? You hit a 2-run homerun!! In Yankee stadium!!! Lovelovelove drew! Tied game... Inning 8, reliving all the papelbon bum controvery and realize that Navarro and the DEVIL Rays from which he hails SUCK. Papelbon proves that with a decent catcher, he rules the MLB. I begin to regret the pinch hit for the slumping Tek and begin to rethink the logic in making the all-star game count... Inning 8, I, in my head, challenge Eva, I mean, Evan, Longoria to prove the the Rays aren't flukey crap. He does. I am temporarily grateful as the game is again tied. Inning 9, Tito goes to Riveria as he suspects his boys will score in the 9th. Tito is wrong. It is too good to be true that JD Drew might hit two out of the park... Inning 10, Mo's a go. I'm starting to think this is a freaking good game. Starting to rethink Tito's little league strategy of everyone plays. He's out of bench players. But it's not like the boys he has in suck or anything,,, . ... .... 15th inning, I awake covered in mosquito bites. Am I camping? The game is still on. holy crap. Jeter is showered and wearing a golf shirt and mocking Tito, who is wearing a uniform shirt. Youk is seen drinking a red bullnot a slumpbuster.. It's 1:30am EST and it's all up to Drew. He walks. Bases loaded. Corey Hart (who doesn't wear his sunglasses at night) hits a walk off sac fly and Tito is happier than he was when the Sox won the series. Whew! and JD Freaking Drew rocks the MVP in his first All-Star game! I have to take this opportunity to say I've loved JD since he was better known as Nancy Drew!
