Yippee! NL Wins!
For the first time since Joey Votto was 12 years old–6th grade (or whatever they call it in Canada)–the National League has won the All-Star game.
Scott Rolen went 1-for-2 with a run scored. Brandon Phillips got a key out. Votto saved some for the sequel. Arthur Rhodes rested. All-in-all, I give Reds almost all of the credit for this win. Hopefully they’ll get all the benefit from it.
Go NL, and Go Reds!
I am not a Reds fan, but the Reds are looking like a Big Red Machine this year with Rolen, Votto, Philips, Gomes, and Bruce. The Reds are tough. I hope the Cards beat the Reds, but I’ll be the first to root for Rolen and the Reds in the post season.
