All Star Game

It was an All-Star Game full of fresh faces until the very end. And that meant a very familiar result on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. The American League continued its unbeaten streak with a 4-3 win over the National League in front of 46,860 people. "That's what we came here to do," said Rivera, as he was the star pitcher on the mound."We came here with a mission and our mission was accomplished." The NL led early and for much of the game, but it couldn't bring home the victory in the last couple innings. In the end, the AL always comes up with the big hit, the big catch and especially the finishing pitch. Brad Hawpe led off the bottom of the seventh with a high, deep drive to left field. Carl Crawford tracked the ball all the way to the wall, timed his leap perfectly and reached over the wall to rob Hawpe of what would have been a tie-breaking homer. "It's got to be the top play [of my career]," Crawford said. "I don't think I've ever robbed a home run before, so I picked a good time to do it tonight. It's definitely probably my best catch I've ever made." Pujols made a couple of brilliant plays later in the game, but the error he made earlier in the game still proved costly. "The ball was hit in between second and first, and I just kind of got lost a little bit," Pujols said. The lead stood until the fifth, when Mauer hit a two-out double to left field against Chad Billingsley. And just as Maddon expected, Nathan escaped. He got Howard to swing at a slider for the strikeout. "Everyone keeps talking about the winning streak that we have, but there have been a lot of games that could have gone either way," Jeter said. "It says a lot about our pitching. They have great players and a great team, but we're just fortunate."

NBA Champions - Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe Bryant celebrates with his team as they are now the NBA Champs. Kobe Bryant has now won 4 championships. Derek Fisher made three pointers look easy. Shot after shot, and it got to the point where everyone gave up as the first match was 100 to 75. A pretty large lead. And it wasn't all from Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol had a lot of rebounds. They looked like rebounding machines out on the court. Bryant, now the MVP ( most valuable player ), is one of the best players in the NBA. No doubt about that. Lakers Rule!!!
