Tim Wakefield has never been to an All-Game and this year may be his best and last chance. With a 10-3 record, the few blips that bounced his ERA above 4.00 can be ignored along the way, especially with a win in a head to head duel with 8-3 Felix Hernandez (2.54 ERA) tonight.

Last night, Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox were robbed of a victory by one of their own fans. Leading 2-1 in the fourth, Langerhans hit what should have been the second out of the inning. Instead, a "fan" reached out of the stands with his cap and snatched the ball before it could drop into Youk's glove. Langerhans hit the next pitch for a double and the floodgates opened...

I'm serious. It seems like everytime there's some form of recognition or appreciation or just something good that seems to come his way, it's snatched away from him last minute.

After the Red Sox skulked into their clubhouse, his keepsake night turned sour, Tim Wakefield resumed his wait. He has pitched in the majors for 17 years and, as of last night, made more starts for the Red Sox than any pitcher in history. He’s waited this long without making an All-Star team. What’s one more day?

The years have obscured the decisions and blurred the records. So much so that even the participants are fuzzy on the details. This much is clear: Tim Wakefield was not selected for the 1995 All-Star Game, and has not been selected for any All-Star Game since.
