Although I did not watch the entire All-Star game I watched enough of the extra innings to know who should have been the MVP. Yes, I know J.D. Drew hit a game-tying home run.
Also, I know he is a Boston Red Sox ballplayer, but if it were not for George Sherrill the American League would not have been able to win the game in the 15th inning. Georgie, as he is affectionately known to O's fans and players, struck out Adrian Gonzalez with the bases loaded in the top of the 12th inning.
After stranding three runners he came back out for the 13th and 14th innings allowing only one hit. Scott Kazmir came in to get the win, but Sherrill, technically a one inning pitcher, went longer than I'm sure manager Dave Trembley wanted him to so the American League could win the All-Star game and get home-field advantage in the World Series.
No offense Sox fans, Drew didn't deserve it.
