All Star Game Doesn't Disappoint...Dan Uggla However Does

Great game, Absolutely great game. And I HATE All Star festivities. I hate Exhibition games. Especially one that ended in a tie a few years ago. With that said. Tonight's game was incredible. I was one of the many who thought that the whole "This Time it Counts" A-S Game thing was completely stupid and just a TV Ad ploy. That also may have happened to coincide with the fact that the Cubs didn't have anything "on the table" in the ASG. And as I'm positive you all know, I am a Huge Cubs Fan. So I watched tonight's game [that ended 3 minutes ago] and actually really, really....

Dan Uggla Sucks, he blew the game for the NL. 3 Strike outs and 3 errors. Did you do anything worth while? I hope you enjoy your AL All Star Trophy.

I felt bad for him. THAT was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for him. How do you commit 3 errors!!?!?! And they were all from his second base position... Pfwwff!!

That game killed me. We needed an NL win. We can't lose at home, generally, and can't win on the road, generally. And he sets an NL record. Something needs to change with the All Star rules. The first few innnings managers are trying to get everyone in the game and they wind up screwing themselves in extra innings depending an the Ugglas of the world.

An excerpt from Mr. Uggla's freshly updated Wiki page (I know, reliable right?)

"Uggla also committed two consecutive errors on playable balls in the 10th inning that appeared to end the National League's hopes of victory, but the errors did not result in a run. He committed a third error in the bottom of the 13th, earning him the record for most errors in an All Star Game. In his three at bats, he struck out twice and hit into a double play. He vomited in the dugout during the 15th inning after striking out again."

If the vomiting part is true, I really feel bad for the guy. He's out there trying his hardest and he just can't seem to do anything right. He knows he let his team down, that's got to be one awful feeling.

The only thing that gives me any satisfaction from Dan Uggla's humiliation is the fact that he is a former Tennessee Vol. Otherwise, I hope he has an MVP season for the rest of the year. I really feel bad for him.
