Offical 80th MLB All-Star Game Discussion Thread (1 Viewer)

[MaddHatter]

My initial thought was that Victorino would have a big night for the N.L. since he usually supersedes expectations on a grand stage but with him starting now in place of Beltran, he is likely to not be around late in the game to have such an impact.

I expect the National League to find a way to lose and my money is on the newest addition to the game on the A.L. side, Chone Figgins, to have a crucial impact in tonight's game.

My money is on Ryan Franklin, the St. Louis Cardinal himself, on giving up the win to the A.L.

NL is due to win and I still consider this to be the best all-star game in the 4 major sports. To be honest as much as I dislike the NBA, their game is a close second.

Hockey is ridiculous with all the scoring and the NFL game rivals a bad high school foots game as far as entertainment value.

 

[MrPhoenix]

They are going to play baseball at some point, right?

 

[Righetti]

I liked the All-Star tribute or the volunteers.

to baseball

 

[Righetti]

Lets go Barack!!!!

 

[Righetti]

that was a horrible angle

did he throw a strike?

 

[urbanhack]

Was that a strike?

 

[bosoxs45]

what, they never showed it

 

[Limp Ditka]

I remember when it was just the Ligues that gave White Sox fans a bad name.

 

[Wrigley]

Are you adding your name too?

Here's hoping Timmy blows out his shoulder after drilling jeter on the hand!

Look at the rack on the blonde about 3 rows up

Is she a fox babe? Jillian barberie ?

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Lincecum hype on the ropes here.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

NL fielding like the Nationals.

Nah, not Jillian...she's right over the head a left handed batter

Yeah, i see her. Probably David Wright's road piece?

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Sick scoop by young! That thing was rocketed!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Michael Young is one of the more underrated players in baseball over the past few years. Guy has skills.

It didn't hit his hand daddy.

 

[Parrothead]

Mitch Kramer looked much better in the 2nd..

 

[MrPhoenix]

Just showed Barack's first pitch. Basically a curveball that Pujols grabbed before it fell to the ground in front of the plate.

 

[urbanhack]

Was that a strike?

nope...59.5 footer.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Yadier has improved so much as a hitter.

 

[Righetti]

Was that a strike?

nope...59.5 footer.

fooled the camera

I tip my hat to this callback. Well played sir.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Halliday knows he's going to a NL team.

 

[MaddHatter]

Wright... Victorino... Yadier.

Go N.L. (even though I picked the A.L.)!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Lordy, that Obama makes Clinton look like W. He is a smooth cat who's up on sports, or at least is able to project that he is. What a great guest.

And for the record, Halladay hype takes a right to the jaw tonight!

 

[MrPhoenix]

Halliday knows he's going to a NL team.

Please God let it be St. Louis.

 

[MaddHatter]

Halliday knows he's going to a NL team.

Please God let it be St. Louis.

If he lands with an N.L. team, it will be Philly.Toronto, for some reason, wants more young pitching plus they like our top shortstop prospect. We have four, five extremely talented prospects at pitching with Kyle Drabek, Carlos Carrasco, Antonio Bastardo, Savery, and Happ.

Thanks Ruben Amaro. Best of luck with Pedro.

DD knows things.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Good game, not a great technical broadcast. They've gotten three downstream keys wrong (names), missed the Prez's pitch, they had mic trouble when interviewing Halliday, and Joe Buck is in the booth. B+ game, Fox gets a D like they do with all their baseball coverage.

Yes...but FoxSports.com Fantasy Football is going to be AWESOME!

 

[Righetti]

this game is moving nice and briskly

Joe Bryant to the white courtesy phone....

 

[MAC_32]

Watching Papelbon pitch right now is giving me images of Joe Borowski in my head.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Grandy a triple. Big shock!

 

[MAC_32]

Grandy!

 

[Ghost Rider]

If this holds up, the AL will have home field advantage in the World Series because a pitcher from the 15th best team in the NL gave up the winning run. That Bud Selig sure is smart!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Come on Mo!!!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

If they go 1-2-3, can we give Mo a lifetime achivement MVP of this game?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Who the hell is the MVP? Granderson? Roy Halliday for making it a game?

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

MoVP!!!

Love Mo congratuating Jo-Nes!!!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Who the hell is the MVP? Granderson? Roy Halliday for making it a game?

Michael Young for his D?Pujols for his(good and bad)Most logically, GrandersonPerfect world, Jones to build him as a MLB starsentimental, Mariano!

 

[MAC_32]

Granderson stretching that double into a triple won the game.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Hmmm, Crawford, odd choice to me. Great catch, but the game was tied at that point.

I would have much rathered Rivera in this case if we are awarding on the notion of, I don't know, saving the game.

Nice catch but not an amazing one.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah, Crawford deserves it I guess. That catch and Granderson's triple were the two biggest plays for the AL.
