7/15 - All-Star Game

[a700hitter]

From goat to hero for Uggla?

No

[a700hitter]

If the game ends in a tie, Selig should award home field advantage on the basis of which league won the HR Derby.

[Optimist]

Wow, as if this game wasn't already gonna be remembered for a long time.

[a700hitter]

How many of the 50 HOFers went to their hotels and went to bed?

[redsoxrules]

It looks like its gona need a HR to win this game

[Optimist]

So close...

 

Hopefully this double can start something though...

[a700hitter]

Cook has been like Houdini. He has given up 4 hits and 2 walks so far.

[a700hitter]

Look at that, Jeter and Pedroia up on the steps rooting for the same team. There is hope for world peace.

[a700hitter]

Ughh, Uggla needs a basket out there, and Cook continues his Houdini act with the K with a man on 3rd and 1 out.

[a700hitter]

Drew may have to hit his second HR of the game to win this next inning.

[a700hitter]

Selig is starting to get that sick feeling.

[Optimist]

Bud not looking to pleased as we head into inning 13.

[a700hitter]

Marmol, Webb and Lidge are left for the NL.

[a700hitter]

Nice play by Sherrill cutting down the lead runner.

[msubulldogs21]

Please... someone win this thing.

[a700hitter]

Uggla is snakebit.

[msubulldogs21]

Uggla with his THIRD error!

[Optimist]

I dont know who wants this to be over more: me or Dan Uggla.

[Optimist]

Damn.

[a700hitter]

After 9 innings, they should be able to put the starting position players back in. Who the hell wants to see Navarro get 4 or 5 ABs.

[a700hitter]

This isn't going to a decision. there have been too many chances that have come up short.

[a700hitter]

One more inning and then they call it. If not, I am going to bed anyway. It's getting boring now.

Ok, I have an interesting idea. Just hear me out. It will fix the hole "running out of players in extra innings" thing, as well as the "deserving players missing out b/c all the teams had to be represented" thing and the "players not getting to play b/c the manager is saving them in case there's extra innings" thing. We do the voting just like we do it now, except without the "every team" limitation. Whoever the most deserving players are get in. Then, the manager chooses 6 players (3 pitchers, 3 position players; this part can change), who can only play in extra innings. If there's team's that didn't get any players named to the original roster, he has to choose a player from those teams (so everyone is getting represented). And he won't be worried about saving players for extra innings. Thoughts?

[a700hitter]

Francona is just praying for it to end. He looks like he is nauseas.

[Optimist]

Time to get that Clay guy who pitched to Hamilton last night up in the bullpen...

I'd rather re-use the starting players

[a700hitter]

If they run out of pitchers, they should play tee-ball.

[a700hitter]

In trying to placate the yankee fans, Francona hamstrung himself. He didn't want the game to end without Mo getting into the game, so he took out KRod after one out in the 9th inning. If he had let KRod pitch a full inning or 1 2/3, he wouldn't be as strapped as he is now for pitchers.

[a700hitter]

Kinsler, go the other way with this guy.

I thought of that, but the problem isn't so much the position players b/c they play everyday. But with pitchers, you use them all early for an inning. I don't know if you could recycle them or not. How much damage would that do to your arm, throwing an inning, resting a few hours, then throwing another inning?
