Let’s Add To NL Sucks Sentiment

Wow, the media couldn’t put much more stock into the whole “the AL hasn’t lost in so long” thing could they? We are loving it so much that we get some awesome, if not stuck up answers from the some of the AL players. Of course, these answers aren’t really an issue since nobody cares about the all-star game really. They asked if the player remembered the last time the NL won.

“You know,” said Joe Nathan, who might have recorded the biggest out of the AL’s 4-3 win Tuesday, “I really can’t.”

Good answer, don’t even try to guess. Thanks for playing.

“I think it was in 1997, wasn’t it?” guessed the MVP of this game, Carl Crawford, a guy who made us proud by at least getting within a year.

HAHA! Oh Carl, you guessed and got it wrong. That’s classic right there. Or not. Maybe it’s just because the players don’t keep tabs on all-star games when they were 15 years old!

“The last time they won one,” he (Greinke) wondered, “who played in it?”

Another great example of how this question is hard only because nobody cares.

“We came here on a mission,” said the greatest closer of all time of his apparently omnipotent AL All-Stars. “And that mission was accomplished.”

Gag me. It’s not that I don’t commend the AL for winning so many in a row, it’s just that it is an All-Star game. Omnipotent? Mission accomplished? I would love to hear an honest opinion of how hard these players really work for the All-Star game. I could be wrong and they practice with each other for 24 straight hours, but, chances are, the AL continues to just get lucky and this has nothing to do with which league is better. (Except for in an exhibition game once per year)
