Highlights from Pete Abraham's live ASG blog

Peter Abraham, writer of the fine LoHud Yankee Blog, live-blogged the game last night. Some highlights from Pete:

8:17 p.m.: Wade Boggs’ hair looks great.

8:30: Sheryl Crow has it going on. Bad job by Lance Armstrong. Whatever Olson twin he’s with isn’t half as hot.

8:59 p.m.: And A-Rod fouls out with a runner on second. The All-Star Game, it’s just like the season!

9:58 p.m.: It’s nearly 10 p.m. and we’re in the fifth inning. Fox Sports, ruining baseball for generations to come.

11:03 p.m.: That’s right, Jonathan, you deserved to close.

12:08 a.m.: The AL is 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position. Joe Girardi must have held a team meeting before the game.

12:18 a.m.: Bud Selig is working the phone, trying to get Brett Gardner, Justin Christian, Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras to rush to the Stadium. Two of them will play for the NL and two for the AL. The plan is for Brett to lean into a pitch in the 14th, steal second and third then will himself invisible and steal home.

12:22 a.m.: This is brutal. Just end it.

12:43 a.m.: Gary Carter has asked to manage the NL team the rest of the way.

12:45 a.m.: The press room has taken on the atmosphere of a hostage situation. Peter Gammons is banging on the wall with a tin cup.

12:59 a.m.: The press room inmates have now divided up into gangs. I’m with the Crips. We’ll be fighting the Bloods any minute now.

1:13 a.m.: Jeter is signing autographs for fans behind the dugout. A-Rod just landed in Miami with Cyndi Lauper and Katrina from Katrina and the Waves.

1:01 a.m.: Dan Uggla could be the first player DFA’d during an All-Star Game.

1:36 a.m.: The new Stadium just got finished, by the way. They’re playing the 17th inning there.

1:37 a.m.: Woo woo! The game is over. Home field advantage for the AL and it only took four hours and 50 minutes. ... Go to bed, I’m done blogging unless Jeter and Mo get into a knife fight in the clubhouse.
