NL EXTENDS WINLESS STREAK TO 12 GAMES

The American League beats the National League 4-3 in a 15-inning classic at Yankee Stadium.

Adrian damn-near had the game-winning RBI. Thanks Billy Wagner.

The All Star Game had a familiar feel to it for Adrian. "It was just like a Padres game and a tough one to swallow,'' he said. "Another long game with a loss."

J.D. Drew won the MVP.

The Boss made an appearance.

Even Chuck Knoblauch was laughing at Dan Uggla last night.

Papelbon feared for his pregnant wife's safety during the All Star Parade yesterday. Not cool, Dalton. Not cool.

No no....don't you remember?

I couldn’t make it to the parade yesterday. I wasn’t there. Right?

This and that: Rodriguez was conducting an interview in the clubhouse after batting practice when David Ortiz shouted out from the adjacent locker, “No more talking about Madonna, please!” Rodriguez paused, then kept talking as though he didn’t hear Ortiz.

Some classy Sox, some not: Yankees clubhouse manager Rob Cucuzza was impressed with how the Red Sox players acted in the inner sanctum of their rivals.
“Their guys were very respectful,” Cucuzza said. “A couple of them wanted to see Thurman Munson’s locker. I don’t know those guys well, but they recognized where they were.”

But Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon wasn’t exactly the paragon of respectability.

He walked around before batting practice wearing a sleeveless T-shirt with artwork depicting an obscene gesture. Then, in a profanity-filled diatribe, he complained about reporters from New York reporting what he said on Monday about wanting to close the game instead of Rivera.

Had to bat behind Dan Uggla all night long. It pretty much meant Gonzalez was always going to be looking at two outs, or not even get to bat when Uggla GIDP’d. Seriously, Uggla’s performance is one to go down in infamy. I feel that Uggla will inspire an SI.com photo gallery entitled “Worst All-Star Game Performances” with Uggla being page 1 out of 1.

I certainly felt inspired watching Dan Uggla, and the rest of the NL East “All-Stars.”

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Except

His team stole bases and bunted. That must’ve been weird.

I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

Just let it be known

that every redneck in a certain backwoods West Virginia bar got his shoulders shook and heard “What’d I tell you about Ahd-Ree-Ahn, son? What?” when Edgar’s baby bro put the En El ahead…
