All Star Game

The 2010 All Star Game is today with Hart, Braun, and Gallardo all selected/voted in. Gallardo however will not be participating either the 2010 or 2011 All Star Game. It is his own personal boycott of the Arizona Immigration law. Below are the starting lineups.

NL
1. Hanley Ramirez - SS
2. Martin Prado - 2B
3. Albert Pujols - 1B
4. Ryan Howard - DH
5. David Wright -3B
6. Ryan Braun - LF
7. Andre Ethier -CF
8. Corey Hart -CF
9. Yadier Molina - C
SP. Ubaldo Jiminez

AL
1. Ichiro Suzuki -RF
2. Derek Jeter-SS
3. Miguel Cabrera-1B
4. Josh Hamilton-CF
5. Vlad Guerrero-DH
6. Evan Longoria-3B
7. Joe Mauer-C
8. Robinson Cano-2B
9. Carl Crawford-LF
SP. David Price

For the first time in almost 3 decades, the brewers have two position players starting the game. The last time this happened was 1983. Also expect either Braun or Hart to be the first Brewers ever to record multiple hits in an All-Star game. My money is on Braun.

For my prediction, I expect the AL to jump out to an early 2-0 lead ofter the first. By the third the NL will get one back to make it 2-1. By the 9th I expect it to be tied 3-3. In the end, the NL will come out victorious with a tight 4-3 victory.
