Damn you AL....you win again!!

by user Patrickburke1980

God damn it I really thought this was the year. The NL finally has the junior circuit on the ropes, but they come through for the 123rd time in a row. Trevor Hoffman, supposed first ballot Hall of Famer gets the first two outs in the ninth. It's all over Johnny. But wait...

Runner on first, Troy Glaus hits one deep with a runner on...but it just misses and goes for a ground run double. Perhaps the NL is finally catching the breaks they need.

Runners on second and third. Michael Young....he hits a triple and two runs score!!! You knew it was all over cause Mr. Cut Fastball himself, Mariano Rivera is coming in for the save. AL 3, NL 2.

I am so mad I drank ten beers. What a waste!

As long as we're talking about Fox broadcasts, what the hell was with the "heads, shoulder, knees, toes" thing. Holy crap Fox!

I apologize for the crappiness of this article. I really did have about 10 beers before writing it. I vaugely remember doing it. I'm surprised there aren't way more grammatical errors and curses.

Troy Glaus, whom will always be a Diamondback (Along with Richie Sexson) is a symbol of Arizona more than the Grand Canyon.

They were playing the junior circuit? Funny, I thought they were playing the varsity team. You think the All-Star Game was frustrating, just wait 'till the World Series, boy.
