How did your Texas Rangers do in a meaningless, mid-season exhibition game? (AP Photo/Chris Carlson)A team-record six Rangers suited up for the All-Star Game Tuesday night, but it wasn't enough as the National League won it's first mid-summer classic since 1996, 3 to 1. I'm not going to lie to you, dear reader, I didn't watch one second of this load of crap. It's a pointless, waste of time manufactured for corporations to sell products and players to be self-indulgent - kind of like Valentine's Day, Easter, and all other sporting "All-Star" games.
But here's a recap and box-score, for the few who care.
Rangers Players Box:
Josh Hamilton: 1 for 3, no HR or RBI, two left on base.
Elvis Andrus: 0 for 1, caught stealing.
Ian Kinsler: 0 for 1, walk.
Vlad Guerrero: 0 for 2, strikeout.
Cliff Lee: One innings, no earned runs, 1 K.
Neftali Feliz: DNP
Can we fast forward to the second-half of the season now?
