They have booed a lot more than Red Sox though. At this point, they are booing more things than your average Phillies fan.

Has Bud Selig's head exploded yet?

Having the ASG decide home-field advantage in the World Series isn't a terrible idea, but there has to be a contingency plan in place if the game goes into extra-extra innings. Even if it's to settle the game by flipping a coin, playing rock-paper-scissors or Home Run Derby.

No kidding. Wasn't there a big kerfuffle in 2002 when it ended with a tie?

Let's wrap this thing up, fellas.

Come on, boys. I want to go to sleep. Finish it already!

i dislike the yankees and all... but even as a mets fan it's impossible for me to dislike derek jeter, and tonight just proved it even more. normaly when stars get taken out of the all star game you never see them again. they go in, change, and leave. but there was derek jeter... taken out of the game in the middle innings, still there on the first step when the game is finally decided. you can't help but love that, no matter who you root for.

also... great job by francona, understanding the moment, pulling yankees mid inning so they can get standing ovations on TV, and also bringing in mariano rivera mid inning so that he can get a standing ovation on TV.

great stuff... even i was a little misty when they brought king george the third out on the golf cart. a little over dramatic? yes... but, eh, who gives a shit.

i also fully enjoyed the fact that the fragile brad lidge blew the game in such a big spot.

Jesus Christ, I'm tired. That was awesome.

I could have done with Bud Selig calling the game after Scott Kazmir's left arm flew off, but whatever.

Next time, the AL manager should probably consider leaving Roy Halladay in the bullpen and letting him pitch the 10th through 24th innings.

Lucky Bastard. Shame you didn't bring any luck to the NL unless you're an AL'er in which case..........I begrudgingly congratulate you.

Nsw is a Yankee fan, so he was happy with the AL win...until October when he realizes it gives the Red Sox home field in the World Series.

This is true.

Hope you had a good time, NSW.

Lidge didn't look great (he wasn't getting break on his slider), but that throw from the right fielder at the end of the game was pathetic.

Wait, so this time it counts?



Yes, it was so very difficult to root for JD Drew, but, for one glorious night, we were all enemies under one flag, so, whatever, go AL.

Ashley, how many times do you think I'll mention being a Yankee fan to you before it sort of settles in your head?
