2013 All-Star Game

[Madvora]

Wow, I usually don't care too much about the All-Star game, but this is the first year I didn't even know it was on. The Sox have just killed me this year.

Machado is really taking a cue from Brooks Robinson these days.

I could have sworn they've done that for years now.

And research confirms it's been going on since 2003.

Rivera will get it if he saves the 9th.

So, with the great Mariano Rivera ready to come in, MLB stops the game so Neil Diamond can sign Sweet Caroline. What a joke!

We just saw the closing shot to Rivera's future biopic.

Still half a season left. His final appearance at Yankee Stadium will be a much bigger deal.

Probably, but more people are likely to see this live.

McCarver quoting Metallica lyrics. Nice touch by Fielder to give Rivera the ball from the last out. Hate the Yankees, but Rivera seems like a really good man.

[CoopaLoop]

That was lame. Should have had the tandem ready. Save Mo for the 9th.

Hi, have we met?

So, Leyland wanted to make sure that Rivera would pitch so he put him in the eighth with a 3 run lead. If the NL did not have to bat in the ninth, that means that Rivera gave up 4 runs and the lead. Should have saved him for the ninth!
