Yeek!

The All-Star Game has now moved into the 15th inning. daisy_knotwise has put the kids to bed and has, I think, gone to bed herself, as the exterior painters are arriving early tomorrow morning and she promised to get up to meet them.

I'd really like to see the National League win this. But first, they're going to have to score again.

And Buck and McCarver are talking about the possibility of another tie.

Yeek!

Update: Yuck! Lidge walked J.D. Drew to load the bases and move the winning run to third base, then gave up a sacrifice fly to Michael Young. Close, but no cigar.

It ain't over until it's -- oh wait, it's over. :)
Caught the last of it before breakfast.

So how did it end?

I too stayed up for the bitter end and was pretty confident it would end the way Lidge was pitching.

I am please with the American League win because as a die hard White Sox fan I want that home field advantage over the Cubs in the World Series. After all, the Crosstown this year was a home team wins all game scenario.

The American League won, 4-3. *sigh*

Thanks for letting me know.

I am slowly but surely learning lots more about Baseball and becoming more conversant at spotting 'what might happen next' instead of just knowing the rules 'why something happens now' ... the cable provider I am with has added NASN (North American Sports Network) to the channels I get for free, and so I have the chance to finally watch some - before then it depended on times I visited a friend that has access to US sports channels - and some softball matches I've been to and cheered at. The local team from where I grew up is one of the best ones in Germany, and since some of my friends were/are involved, cheering was mandatory :-).

NASN is a good thing, yes.

AL wins again.....

I get up far too early to see all of a 15 inning ballgame from the East Coast + commercials, etc. I toddled off to bed in the 13th... and then Erika pops into our bedroom with the pronouncement "Marmol's pitching". I'm like... oh, crap. But he did OK. Hopes this helps with his confidence, etc. The NL really needed this game.But, one of the best All-Star games in recent memory.

The basic rules for baseball aren't too complex. It gets complex when they start to put in the rules that prevent people from taking too much advantage of the basic rules. :)

Like, say, the Infield Fly rule.

We're Tigers fans (American league) so mom and I were happy.
