I’ve been waiting a long time for this. The last time the National League defeated the American League in the MLB All-Star game was in 1996. That is until last night, when the National League finally defeated the AL for the first time in 14 years.

All thanks to Brian McCann, the catcher for the Atlanta Braves. In the top of the 7th inning, down by one run, with the bases loaded and two outs, and no room for error, Baby Jesus takes a 98 mph fastball, and smashes it deep into right field, and just like that, the bases are cleared, McCann stands alone on second, and the National League is up 3-1.

So, I resort to writing, since I’ve got a lot on my mind lately.

To some it may seem a little bit silly, but I’m not going to say that I’m not a little heartbroken over recent events, but admittedly, I am heartbroken. It’s not like I was in love with the girl, but I was certainly leaning in the direction of wanting to continue building a relationship before circumstances dictated otherwise. But it’s not the kind of heartbreak that results in crippling me into oblivion. Far from it. But it is still heartbreak nonetheless. And truth be told, I have felt a similar heartbreak in my life before; but it wasn’t caused by a girl.
