Just like last year, I’m making a post for the 2008 All-Star game that includes the Win Probability graph and stats since it’s about to go poof from the site.

Excellent, thanks! Just wondering what was the game’s aLI? Must have been one of the highest all around!

It ended up at 2.19, 10th highest ever not including playoff games and other all-star games dating back to 1974!

At least Francona was smart enough to not let Varitek bat.

And I’m a Sox fan.

Sweet Jesus, -.634 wins for Uggla! Amazing!

If the game had gone 30 innings, he may have lost a game all by himself!

“Losing a game all by your self” equates to .500 WPA, does it not? This is since each team only needs .500 WPA to get to a win from the start of the game.

So yeah, I love Uggla but, he was just Ugly at the all-star game.

PS. Additionally, that WPA number doesn’t include defense, and he had three errors!
