and Upton runs a route on Granderson's fly ball that was worthy of a little leaguer.

I'm glad someone else noticed that.

wakefield makes it there after so many years and you can't give a guy an inning; wow ....

After the extra innings games of late, he was being saved as a guy that could go 5/6 innings if need be.

I think the MVP should go to the home plate ump that gave Jeter the HBP in the 1st.

I don't mind. I think the guys who are perennial all stars deserve to play most of the game if they are putting up the stats. The guys who are just having a good year deserve to be there and that's it. If they get a chance to play, great, but consider it a bonus and make the most of it.

could have played him as 2nd or third pitcher in my opinion. guys like greinke, felix, and jackson will be back to the all star game probobly; this was wakefields most likely only chance ... kinda sad that he gets there after so many years and not throw a single pitch

He should just be happy he is there.

Zimmerman or sandoval not starting over wright cost the game as either easily makes the throw that he put in the dirt.

Singling out that one play is unfair. I could counter by saying starting Pujols at 1b cost the NL the game with his first inning error(0-3 at the plate as well). Or Ryan Braun taking his sweet time to retrieve Mauer's double was the downfall of the NL. Let's not forget Carl Crawford robbing Brad Hawpe. Plus, there was Justin Upton's "route" to Granderson's shot that turned a double into a triple. Which allowed Adam Jones to drive in the tying run with a sac fly off heath bell. Speaking of Bell, you could say he cost the NL the game by throwing Jones multiple high fastballs on 0-2 when a sac fly gives the AL the lead.
