7/15 - All-Star Game

[BoSox21]

I know there isn't usually a thread for the ASG but there is a distinct Red Sox flavor to it so I figure why not. If it isn't needed, I'm sure a mod will destroy it...

[Youk Of The Nation]

No biggie. I think I'll leave it in the Gamethread forum for easy access and then move it to General Baseball when the game is over.

[a700hitter]

The classy Yankee fans booed the Red Sox players.

[Cocos Disciples]

Why was Mo introduced last? Do they do that for every hosting team?

[a700hitter]

Is that Rod Carew or Robbie Cano. I'm glad Bill Mazeroski is there. My cousin who is a Yankee fan threw up for two straight weeks after Maz's game 7 HR in 1960.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Kind of funny how all of this Yanks-Sox enimity can be diffused by the fact that neither of our team captains deserve to be in this game.

[a700hitter]

Booing players at an All Star game? A new low, but I'd expect nothing less from low life Yanke fans.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, 700, cause if this were at Fenway and A-Rod was announced, no one would boo.

[a700hitter]

I don't recall the Yankees being booed in 1999 at Fenway.

[a700hitter]

Oh goodness, George is already crying.

[a700hitter]

Does Reggie's HOF plaque have a Yankee cap?

[YAZMAN]

Everybody should put the ******** aside for one f***ing night out of respect for all the baseball that has been played there over the last 85 years.

 

Tomorrow we can go back to hating the place, its' players, and the entire douchebag organization.

[msubulldogs21]

I have to say I'm on the edge of my seat to hear more gems from the mouth of Tim McCarver tonight.

Last year Russell Martin was booed.

[msubulldogs21]

What an inning to start off for Lee. 1-2-3 and striking out 2.

[soxfan17881]

I don't agree with the booing, but I understand the Yanker fans booing Red Sox players. What I didn't get was last night when they booed Chase Utley. If you didn't see the ensuing comment from Utley, watch it here: YOU TUBE LINK

[schillingouttheks]

I remember picking that up when it happened. Hilarious. I don't get why they booed him either?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Because there are just as many Mets fans there.

[soxfan17881]

It's low class, IMHO.

[MANNYHOF24]

So weird to see Red Sox home uni's at the stadium.

[Optimist]

Nice pitch by Zambrano.

[BoSox21]

I couldnt give a s*** if they boo and who they boo. They found a ticket into the stadium so let them do what they want. If they shouldn't boo any Red Sox, then they shouldn't cheer any Yankees any louder than they would another all-star.

 

im actually excited to see Papelbon get the s*** booed out of him.....threatening his wife during the 6th avenue parade is another story though

[soxfan17881]

Is it just my PC, or is the link for MVP voting screwed up on MLB.com?

[msubulldogs21]

2-0 NL. Ugh.

[BoSox21]

2-0 NL. Ugh.

 

big deal, if the NL wins then the Sox will finally be able to celebrate a WS at Fenway

[a700hitter]

Captain Intangibles has done what he does best-- hit into DPs and leave men on base.

[BoSox21]

here's a debate that'll start pretty soon....Hamilton or A-Rod?

[Cocos Disciples]

here's a debate that'll start pretty soon....Hamilton or A-Rod?

 

...really?

[a700hitter]

here's a debate that'll start pretty soon....Hamilton or A-Rod?

Since they play different positions, I am assuming that you mean there will be a comparison of their hitting. My question is if you are just comparing them as hitters, why wouldn't Pujols be in the debate, or Ortiz, Manny or Berkman for that matter.

[MANNYHOF24]

JD!
