1) I like the idea of changing the derby to AL vs. NL. It definitely makes it more team oriented. The goal is still the same; they play for charities.
2) THE LEGEND OF SAM FULD.
3) Although it hurts me to say this, in my opinion, Robinson Cano is THE best second baseman in the game today. He absolutely KILLED the balls distance wise. The only Yankees players that I actually “like” are Cano, Derek Jeter, and Mariano Rivera. That’s saying a lot. :(
4) Why are the NL players wearing ugly looking cleats! There should only be two colors when wearing any sports shoes: BLACK and WHITE! Any other color makes it look like it came from Space Jams! Especially the bright colors!
5) Who is Rickie Weeks? Seriously, I didn’t know who he was until the Red Sox played the Milwaukee Brewers during Interleague. I forgot about him after that. When he came to bat, I thought, “WHO?” He should’ve stayed that way. Forgotten. Didn’t belong in the derby.
6) Matt Kemp. He dated Rihanna. Not anymore. That’s about as much as I know about him, too. Anybody who dates Rihanna after Chris Brown is just EWWWWWWWWWWW sloppy moppy!

7) Prince Fielder. POWER. Enough said.
8) Adrian Gonzalez’ swing is like Ray Allen’s shooting… silky smooth.
9) I predicted it was going to be Jose Bautista/Prince Fielder in the finals… WRONG!
10) Actual finals: Adrian Gonzalez/Robinson Cano. REALLY good finals. Cano wins and I cry. WAH WAH WAH. Good show. AL runs supreme over NL once again!

1) There are SO many injured players who made the All-Star game but didn’t play. The only thing that I was happy about was Jeter/A-Rod/and Mo weren’t going to play. Those damn Yankees!
2) “From the Seattle Mariners, Felix Hernandez.” *Camera on Miguel Cabrera* OOPS!
3) Adrian Gonzalez was the only player to have done anything in the game.
4) There are so many faces that I have never seen before!
5) Brian Wilson is a weird guy…
6) Rickie Weeks? WHO?
7) The game felt different because so many key All-Star’s were injured/didn’t get voted. (Pujols, Braun, Hanley Ramirez, Wright, Ichiro, Mauer, Morneau, Pedroia)
8) Heath Bell sprinting out of the bullpen and sliding to the mound was the most epic thing I’ve ever seen from a pitcher!
9) That Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher (Joel Hanrahan) looks eerily like… *shudders*… Eric… Gagne…
10) Had all the aces from the AL played and weren’t injured/already pitched (Verlander, Sabathia, Hernandez, Beckett, Lester, Price, Shields), it would’ve had a different outcome. Definitely wouldn’t have been 5-1.
