Well the stars were out for another all-star extravaganza.

The National League squad, managed by Brad Mallory of the St. Louis Cardinals, got off to an early lead in the first after a wild pitch by Francisco Liriano to score Derek Jeter. The bottom of the first had the AL squad, managed by Jim Kies from the Toronto Blue Jays, load the bases with 1 out only to have David Wright and Vladimir Guerrero fly out. NL 1-0 after 1.

The second inning for the NL squad had the same results as the first, as Liriano again uncorked a wild pitch with a runner on third to give the NL a 2-0 lead after 2.

Pitchers did ther jobs well until the 5th inning. Jason Jennings came in for the AL squad and walked Bobby Abreu and Mark Teahen. Manny Ramirez pinch hit and walked as well to load the bases with none out. KRod relieved Jennings and struck out Jeter. Jim Thome came to the plate as a pinch hitter and stroked one deep to right field for the GRAND SALAMI!!!!!!!!!!! Made it 6-0 NL.

The NL Squad added another run in the 8th and their pitching held the AL bats to 1 hit after the 2nd inning and take the Mid-Summer Classic 7-0. Thome was named MVP.

Manager Mallory got a little revenge on Kies from last year's Game 7 loss in the World Series.
