National League has just won this game, so good job, guys!!!!

Last year, 2010, San Francisco Giants won as a world champion.
This year, 2011 so far, the most outstanding team is as all know Philadelphia Phillies.
Why are both teams good? The reason is their pitchers.

In this All Star game, Natioanl League pitchers only allowed for one point with one home run by Gonzalez, Boston.
That was all American League can do against those pitching staff.
There are many guys playing from Giants, Atlanta, and Philadelphia; of course, never ever from our Reds, haha

But, the game was ended, Votto, first base, Brandon, second base, and Bruce, right feald played in the field, so three players out of nine played from our Reds, so that was wonderful to see even though they did never hit in the game.

All Star Game is just relax and fun game for not only players, but also funs.

But, it would be a kind of happy to see for National League won!
Tomorrow, we will see the All Star Game between American League and National League. Before a night, there is a Home Run Derby tonight.

Unfortunately, our slugger, both Votto and Bruce did not play there. But it was really impressed: Robinson Cano, New York Yankees got the first prize.
In my opinion, Japanese baseball and Major League Baseball in the U.S. would still be different especially two points following:1, Power 2, Infield Defensive

1, If a batter hit ground ball between the third base and the short stop, it would be very difficult for the short stop to catch a ball & throw it to the first.
But, most of major short stops would not be difficult to handle this.

2, Today, Robinson Cano receive the first prize. It might not be even compared Japanese players: Even Hidade Matsui comes to the states, his number of home run would almost be downed to half of Japan.

I always go by Reds because I believe that Brandon is the best second bese player in all over the world: I have never seen such a wonderful defensive play; however, another second player, Robinson Cano is also more than great on his power hitting, which he might be the best batter among the second players.

Anyway, let's go Votto, Brandon, Bruce, and Scott for All Star game tomorrow!!
1, Local
The franchise is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and this is only for 4 hour driving from my town. The United States is pretty big country compartd to Japan for 25 times, so 4 hour driving is that many American would think for a short one.

2, Strong
While Reds has still faced difficulty in 2011 season they were a top team in the Central division in National league in 2010. Additionally, their earned points in 2010 was the most one among the league while their errors were the least in the league. And, 3 Golden Glove players were elected from Reds out of 9 players. Also, the Most Valuable Player in 2010 were Joey Votto, the first base player.

3, Growing
The most of players are not joined the team by trade with big money, but the most of them have been grown with the Draft from colleges or high schools, so their average age would be young.

4, Less Money
By the reason of above 3, their total salary is comparably cheap. I know Tampa Bay Rays is one of the best team with both Strong and less money. But, also this is fact that Reds total salary amout is about only quarter of NY Yankees. Therefore, I really want Reds beat Yanks in the World Serise someday.

5, Friend
In 2011 All Star, actually, 4 players, Votto, Brandon, Bruce, and Scott would head for there, so this is fact that they are one of the super star teams in MLB; however, Cincinnati is not so much big cities in States such as NY, LA, and Chicago, and the team focus on growing players with less money, the player would be looked my frineds as I see interview on Television. If I see them in town, I can easily say "How are you doing"" as a friend. But, I can not say like this to Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Robinson Cano in NY if I encounter them.
