Live Blogging the 2007 All-Star Game

Posted by Coley Ward on Tuesday July 10th 2007, 9:17 pm - filed in News reel

Zvee, Haley and I are watching the 78th Annual All-Star game at their new apartment in Atlanta. I’m watching the game with them because they’re good friends. Not because they’ve got HD. Give me some credit.

I’m gonna give live-blogging a shot tonight. Here we go…

FIRST INNING

8:50 Me: Do you think LaRussa is hitting Bonds second so he’ll get more at bats?
Zvee: No, I think it’s because he’s a crackhead.

8:55 Ichiro leads off the game with a single. And so it begins. This could be a long night for an over matched NL team. Then again, they should be used to it by now.

8:58 Derek Jeter grounds into a double play. If the NL has an advantage over the AL, it’s up the middle. Reyes-Utley is better than Jeter-Polanco any day.

9:00 Papi hits a weak grounder to Utley, who fields and tosses to Prince Fielder, who DROPS THE BALL. Without a doubt one of the most amateur plays in All-Star game history. Joe Buck points out that Papi doesn’t tease Fielder. Buck says, “He’s thinking, ‘I might do the same thing later.’”

9:07 Reyes singles, then steals second on the next pitch. Ballsy. But now first base is open and Bonds is at the plate. Will they walk him? No. Bonds grounds out.

9:10 Carlos Beltran, the least deserving NL starter, strikes out. “That was predictable,” Zvee says.

9:12 Griffey, Jr. hits a single up the middle. Reyes scores. NL goes up 1-0. It’s all downhill from here.
