I said this already but look. Albert Pujols will be in every all star game for the next 10 years or more. This was Rowand's first and it could be his last all star game so out of respect for Rowand La russa let the guy hit and try to be a hero. Dont forget it is just an exhibition game.

you know francisco rodriguez is on the mound and with his breaking balls, he is going to embarras pujols at the plate...tony didn't want him to go thru that so just let rowand in
Pujols has enough pressure already...with the team struggling, him struggling to find his power stroke, chokin up on yesterday's home run derby, etc etc etc....larussa didn't want his golden boy to take on more pressure if he fails against K-rod (which definitely would've happened with the stuff he has)

Pujols of course, but it didn't happen, so another loss for the NL! :) He probably would've choked though, Francisco Rodriguez knows not to pitch inside to Pujols.
AL all the way. Go Yankees!

Well, Derrek Lee really struck out anyways. The umps were too scared to call it but everybody saw it. You wouldn't even be asking this question if the game was ended when it was supposed to be.
