8:21 - O.K. is there anyone they haven’t introduced yet? The game hasn’t even started and I already want to punch Joe Buck in the face. He just introduced Reggie Jackson’s third cousin who once gave him a ride to a game when his car broke down.

8:26 - Yogi Berra just tried to sell insurance to Joe Mauer, “the kind that doesn’t make it hurt when you get hurt and miss work” great, another Yogi-ism that someone else wrote.

8:31 - Sheryl Crow? She’s from Kennett, Missouri! I’m no historian but I am pretty sure there is at least one singer from New York that knows the words to the National Anthem.

8:34 - Yogi Berra just tried to sell insurance to George Steinbrenner.

8:42 - Is there a baseball game tonight? Oh and is Yankee stadium historic in any way?

8:48 - Best thing Joe Buck has ever said: “Tim I want you to talk about Cliff Lee and I am going to just sit over here and be quiet“.

8:51 - The National League goes down one, two, three in the first, Bud Selig may as well schedule game 1 of the World Series in Boston now.

8:55 - Joe Buck: “Derek Jeter has done nothing but win since coming into the league.” Really Joe, he hasn’t lost one game?

8:58 - Joe Buck: “Here’s a guy (Josh Hamilton) who probably needed help brushing his teeth this morning.”

Tim McCarver: “Does that mean if you hit a lot of home runs you can’t brush your teeth?”

Chalk up a point for Timmy.

9:12 - Is it not ironic that a guy named Milton Bradley sucks at The Game Of Life?

9:23 - Did Joe Buck seriously just ask Yogi Berra about Sarah Jessica-Parker. How does this guy have a job? You can’t think of any other questions to ask a baseball legend at the All-Star Game?

10:53 - J.D. Drew homers! Tie ballgame, now we’re talking.

12:54 - Still going strong in the bottom of the 13th, a couple slices in the microwave, volume down to avoid cutting off my own ears after listening to Joe Buck for two hours longer than 9 out of 10 doctors recommend.

1:05 - If the A.L. wins this game J.D. Drew has to be the MVP, 2 RBI a run scored and a steal in a three run game is nothing to shake a stick at. The only person who has done more to help the American Leage Team is Dan Uggla.

1:09 - I hate to rag on George Sherrill since he has been a great surprise on my fantasy team but what on earth is with that brim? Doesn’t the act of just putting the hat on cause the visor to curl at least a little bit? It looks like he has half a dinner plate sewn into his hat.

1:15 - Who will be the first position player to pitch? I bet the N.L. is really wishing Rick Ankiel had made the roster right now.

1:35 - I am putting the over under at 2 a.m. for when Tito has a nervous breakdown. If it were me I’d just leave Kazmir in there all night, screw the Rays, you wanna sucker punch Coco, here’s your ace back half dead.

1:38 - Well that’s all she wrote, A.L. wins it 4-3 in 15. Looks like Terry will live another day. Signing off on our first and possibly last real time commentary, the goat.
