so that a San Diego Padre could drive in a Houston Astro with the run that will determine home field advantage for a game neither team will be within a mile of.
A more deserving player is always more deserving, and such meaningless things as “home stadium” have nothing to do with it.
If Jeter wanted a chance to represent his team in the final year at this stadium, he should earn it like everyone else who worked their ass off to have a chance…not given it on a platter because he’s the city’s “do-no-wrong” golden boy.
The game is halted, and Selig declares the following:
Games 1, 3 and 5 of the WS are played in the AL park. Games 2, 4 and 6 are played in the NL park. And if Game 7 is necessary, it will be played in Saskatchewan, Canada. But only after the CFL game featuring the Roughriders vs. the Roughriders is completed.

Rally thread?
errr… ok
Red - July 15, 2008
good atleast Ervin is off the hook........
let Papsmear blow it
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
so K-rud won't come in?
I guess he could in extra innings?
Red - July 15, 2008
If we stay tied you could see Franky for the 9th.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
if he gets snubbed........
maybe he’ll be uber pissed…........and come out blowing people away for the 2nd half
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Just want to point out-
Game tied, Paps starting to come unglued.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
yankee fans are absolutely giving it to
papelbon… i like it
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
OVERRATED
the chant from the peeps in NY
cupie - July 15, 2008
Pot-Kettle-Black
If Papelbon is overrated, what the fuck does that make Joba Chamberlain?
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Chanting... "overrated"...
damn Yanker fans are brutal
Red - July 15, 2008
It's because they know they don't have to worry about home-field this year
since they won’t even be going to the playoffs.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Dan Uggla looked like a chump right there.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
stupid ass navarro
Red - July 15, 2008
i also love the fact
that navarro(TB) is catching papelbon… AAAAAWKWARD
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
"Best position player in the AL West"
way to go Young.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
... and I hate tejada
Red - July 15, 2008
papelbon
is the set up man for the best closer in baseball right now. see ya next inning frankie.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Paps blew it.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Wow, now it's on Papelbon.
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
WHOOPS!
Paps just blew the game. Nice call Zu.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
K-Rod is the best.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Thanks Dinosaur Navarro
cupie - July 15, 2008
I thought at one point the Yankee crowd was chanting,
“Aaaahss Hoool, Aaaaahss Hoooool”
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
At least
the Angels are good on the road
cupie - July 15, 2008
paplolbon.
scottnak - July 15, 2008
papel-blown
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
That'll be on the front page of the New York Post
If he’s the losing pitcher.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
i want royalties
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
That's cool
means we get to win the W.S. at home in 5.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Navarro really screwed Riverdance
hauldog - July 15, 2008
im suprised they gave him a Earned run there.........
must be the yankees scorer lol
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Thank God we have the all-star game
so that a San Diego Padre could drive in a Houston Astro with the run that will determine home field advantage for a game neither team will be within a mile of.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Francisco has to pitch to at least one batter
It’s at least justice for someone with the MLB record for saves before the ASG
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
lackey didnt get to pitch last year
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Lackey hadn't set an MLB record at the break last year
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
so its still an injustice all the same
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
I'm just sayin
I want to see all our guys get in, that’s all. We have the best record in baseball.
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
im with you brother!
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
QUENTIN FLIES OUT TO CENTER
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
LMAO.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
LAWL LAWL LAWL
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
classic
Funke5ive - July 15, 2008
Is everybody OK?
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
I think Papelbon's pride is taking a hit.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Wow, Quentin actually flied out to center that time.
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
Carlos Guillen
why is this boob on the all-star team again?
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
If he was a boob
At least he’d be nice to look at
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
not if he was like Discovery Channel Boob............
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
ahhh speaking of...
I miss Erin Andrews
Red - July 15, 2008
He's the best hitting SS not named Jeter or Young?
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Now that you mention it
he should be there…and Jeter should not.
I didn’t realize a 99 OPS+ made you a good hitting SS.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
It does this year in the AL.
SS’s are hitting like crap.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Boobs need teammates to play with as well
Carlos Guillen is not fun to play with (according to er … reports) but boobs, but nature are fun to play with. So he’s not a boob. I rest my case
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
I'd take Peralta over Jeter for the A.S. Game
Not even close, either.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Meh.
At Yankee Stadium? I give them a pass this time.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
I never, ever, ever buy into that crap.
A more deserving player is always more deserving, and such meaningless things as “home stadium” have nothing to do with it.
If Jeter wanted a chance to represent his team in the final year at this stadium, he should earn it like everyone else who worked their ass off to have a chance…not given it on a platter because he’s the city’s “do-no-wrong” golden boy.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE
I could see your point if the game was meaningless, and even then I would still disagree to a lesser extent.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Besides though
Peralta only picked it up in July. I think Jeter was out hitting him before that.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Midway through June
they had the same exact OPS, with a slight (.270 to .256 ) edge in batting for Jeter, and a power edge to Peralta (.429 to .379).
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Oh, and not that Aybar deserves it (because he doesn't), but
he and Jeter have the same slugging percentage. I just have to mention it because it makes me LOL.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Aybar is looking better and better at the plate this year.
I’m starting to think he could become a decent hitter.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
He does not play SS this year.
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Point.
But he CAN and I think that’s why Francona brought him aboard.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Could be. Has even played an inning this year?
He was an abortion at first and as far as I can tell he has been at third all year besides that.
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Probably a few.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
B-R says no.
Oh well. Whatever. Francona put him at 3rd.
hauldog - July 15, 2008

he's thinking about his post-game party prospects...
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
9 pitches.......he made the most of his AB
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
sorta
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
anyone else think...
needing every team represented is a dumb rule ? i understand the logic and all but still…
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
It's always sounded to me like a little league rule
“HOORAY, EVERYONE’S A WINNER, AND NO ONE’S FEELINGS GOT HURT!”
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
only if they got a small plastic trophy at the end.......
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008

Dude, that rule was the only reason an Angel got in
for like, the entirety of the 90s.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
god bless those days...........
hell didnt DiSar make an AS apperance?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Maybe in 95.
Not sure. Tim Salmon didn’t though, and that’s why the Yankees are cursed to lose to us for eternity.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
yeah i dont know how that never happened.......
even during the crappy years….....
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Different rules and customs.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Well, it was the only reason they DID get in
but it wasn’t like they didn’t have people that actually deserved it.
Edmonds, Salmon, and Percival consistently deserved it, and at times others did as well.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Blowing a save in NY Wagner should be right at home

if he believed that...
he’d want a piece
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
OK maybe games 1267 of the WS won't be at Wrigley after all
Maybe they’ll be at State College and Katella
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Cubs collapse in second half mark my words.
Unless of course you want to believe Ryan Dempster will continue to pitch like Johan Santana.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Rivera or K-Rod for the 9th?
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Better be Frankie
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Betting on Rivera just so they make sure he gets in the game.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
then they will leave me no choice
I will then have to hate Babe Ruth
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
K-Rod probably coming up in the 9th.
Dear God, Frankie, have a 1-2-3 inning PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
Dear god X 2
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Frankie Time! RELAX
44FAN - July 15, 2008
Somewhat contradictory
scottnak - July 15, 2008
CRAP. It is Frankie.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
And I say this because this game is a waste of time
and a waste of pitches.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Nope, Franky time!
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
This is gonna be hilarious.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
OF COURSE...
K-rud is going to load the bases before he gets out of the inning.
Red - July 15, 2008
Oye
hauldog - July 15, 2008
audition time frankie ?
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
I'm going out for a cigarette
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Not good
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Why is Hart not wearing sunglasses?
It is night.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
boy wouldnt that be nice if frankie got out of here.......
and then the AL had the walkoff win…..........without Rivera getting to pitch? lol
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Franky for 1 out? REALLY.
Francona you’re a DUMBASS.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
oh come on...
taking frankie out already?
Red - July 15, 2008
shoooort.
scottnak - July 15, 2008
enter sandman
Red - July 15, 2008
God he's a dumbass.
Francona, do you understand that if you run out of pitchers, you LOSE?
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
GOOD. Frankie is out, Mo is in.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Francona really milking ovations for the Yanks tonight
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
The only time his move'll get cheered there.
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
I'm only thinking one thing: 2nd half! Angels gotta take the West.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
does francona know that the game is tied?
Red - July 15, 2008
if Rivera blows this.........
then the L goes to Frankie…....
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Not if it's a homer.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
would that go on his season record?
Red - July 15, 2008
no.
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Nope
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Waste of an arm.
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Saving his arm for use agaisnt the Sux this weekend
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
NL should have like 3 guys still available to pitch I believe
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
WAY more than that.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
they have used 6............
how many does each team carry?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
12, lincecum down means 5 more for the NL.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
how many people are on the team?
40?
?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
32 each.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
jesus.........
okay…....i thought it was like 25…......hmm
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Standard Roster is 25
but this is the All-Star game.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
So does the AL
Kazmir, Soria, Sherrill.
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
oh........nvm then
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
TB requested Kazmir not pitch
hauldog - July 15, 2008
So the AL should forfeit if it comest to it?
Tampa would really end up on people’s shit list.
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
I guess he would pitch
hauldog - July 15, 2008
NL has Wood, Webb, Lidge, and there should be 1 more....
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Marmol (Wood INJ), Lidge, Dempster, Webb, Cook
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
Mo needs a DP
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Good call

WOOHOO! FRANKIE IS CLEAR!
AN ANGEL WILL NOT TAKE THE LOSS!
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
but a yankee might take the win
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Navarro Redeemed.
scottnak - July 15, 2008
or off the hook
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Whew. Looks like the Angels are clear
and hopefully the pitchers are okay. Two days to rest up.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Neither 1 threw more than a side session.
And they both have atleast 3 days. They’ll be fine.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
So sad
that Cristian Guzman somehow made the game with a .674 OPS. That’s what really pisses me off about that rule.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
You'd replace it with a rule that is
“must be > .675 OPS?”
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Might work
that number doesn’t sound TOO arbitrary…it does end in a 5, after all.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Yeah, but come on
Zimmerman, Kearns Etc all went down, who else was there?
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
dempster in
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Dumpster
Red - July 15, 2008
I know everyone is relieved
but i am still pissed they took frankie out.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
It was a retarded move. Just put Mo in for the whole inning.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
agreed
Red - July 15, 2008
Let's see some damn yardwork
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
An AL player will hit a walk-off HR
and Cust back in Oakland will say there was too much celebrating.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
ROFL
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
AL out of position players
Nice Francona
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Needs less Rangers they stink of Fail
hauldog - July 15, 2008
didn't Selig put an inning limit on the All Star Game?
if so… what is it?
Red - July 15, 2008
9............
lol
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
If the game' s a draw
How do we decide Home Field Advantage???
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
neutral field.............
play it at Yankee Staduim…....they wont be there
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Maybe Bud will intervene
and allow any Yankee to be re-instated.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
come on drew you filthy piece of shit...............
end this M’F’er
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
WTF is that glove flip that Dumpster does before his pitch?
Red - July 15, 2008
lol
tourette’s?
Funke5ive - July 15, 2008
dude, that's weird...
i’ve never seen that.

Yay xtras.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
FREE BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Cristian Guzman playing 3B
Now that’s funny.

i have guillen playing third
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
BTW-
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
whats with this "1." stuff?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Four #'s apparently becomes "1." now.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
oh so i take it......you have no love for BoA correct lol?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Seen that commercial?
Dodgers, A’s, no Angels? I mean WTF?
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
So who's going to be the hero of this game?
Red - July 15, 2008
george steinbrenner..........
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
is he going to bat in the bottom of the 10th?
Red - July 15, 2008
Let's go for a tie!!
scottnak - July 15, 2008
If the game is tied after 12 innings
The game is halted, and Selig declares the following:
Games 1, 3 and 5 of the WS are played in the AL park.
Games 2, 4 and 6 are played in the NL park.
And if Game 7 is necessary, it will be played in Saskatchewan, Canada. But only after the CFL game featuring the Roughriders vs. the Roughriders is completed.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Incidentally, if Rivera finishes with 1.2 innings, 4K's 0H's, 0BB's
and the W, I betcha he gets MVP.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Of course.
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
no effing way
Red - July 15, 2008
Holy Shit.
I hadn’t even thought about that.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Crisis averted, thanks to Russel Martin.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Joe Buck's knob gobbling of Rivera is getting old
Red - July 15, 2008
The hell with it
I’m rooting for the NL in this half. Go deep off Rivera.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
The Futures Game must have been better than this
And perhaps more of the players on the best team should have been named/selected
NL

then he hit my favorite active MLB firstbaseman in the head with a baseball.

word on that...
then Doyer fan cheered…
i hate them

OH ****! RIVERA'S GONNA BLOW IT!
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
ooooo this is getting juicy....
rivera’s in trouble
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Tejada single
first and third one out.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
On the other hand...
Francona felates The Yanksters, much to FOX and ESPN’s delight, burns Rivera’s arm, game ends with Rivera BOTG.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
I'd rather have home field for the WS
than a Rivera BOTG any day
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
We won't need 7 to beat the Cubs.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Shitty pitching and fielding
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
DP? Whoa.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
HOLY SHIT
HOW ARE YOU THAT SLOW!!
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
DAN UGGLA IS SLOW AS *****
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Kotch?
Molina?
Me?
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Not as slow as Kotch
But thank god we don’t have him clogging the bases too
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
uggla F-ed that up pretty bad
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Crap
I hope the AL doesn’t score
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Everyone who was talking about Dan Uggla and how awesome his 23 homers are
needs to re-evaluate.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
he's great for your fantasy team
cupie - July 15, 2008
True.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Fantasy does not = real life
Just ask Joe Buck as he fantasizes about fellating Rivera out there as he pitches.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Seriously
Why does the All Star Game have to mimic an Angel game?
cupie - July 15, 2008
To teach East Coast media what REAL baseball games are all about.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
the manager didn't leave Frankie in to load the bases...
so i don’t see any similarities.
Red - July 15, 2008
Because we are always under represented
All the other players unjustly selected turn into wannabee Angels to make things interesting
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Also because they wannabe Angels.
TheTypingFiend - July 15, 2008
At least the MVP is likely to go to whoever pushes across the winning run.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Instead of Rivera, that is.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
UGGLA AL MVP
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Seconded!
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Ugla fielding
Red - July 15, 2008
Somebody's hitting a walk-off HR this inning.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
lol uggla.
scottnak - July 15, 2008
Anyone know what Quentin did?
cupie - July 15, 2008
Flew out to CF.
I think.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Rangers DP combo gets it done
That was a nice DP
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
UGGLA!!!
Red - July 15, 2008
HE DID IT AGAIN!
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Ugla is spooked
to think howie would’ve been gone for that? wow!!
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
that was uggla
Carl Johnson - July 15, 2008
so who's going to be the hero of this game?
Red - July 15, 2008
Dan Uggla is already the hero of this game.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
$1000 on Rivera
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
As MVP, not necessarily "hero"
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
QUENTIN SINGLES TO CENTER!
cardinalwraith - July 15, 2008
Not a single.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Uggla is quite a player
hit it to him again
cupie - July 15, 2008
Uggla? Botched an easy DP.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Right after botching an easy ground out
AND botching the winning run the previous inning.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
I actually feel bad for Uggla
Red - July 15, 2008
Dan Uggla
is the GMJ of the NL team tonight.
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
and i actually wanted this guy for howie............
D’OH
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
wow MVP.........
dan uggla…........
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
J.D. Drew for likely MVP
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
If Uggla had the Wham UK beard he would look like Napoli
cupie - July 15, 2008
Except Napoli can catch and is faster
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
who bats after guillen?
Red - July 15, 2008
Grady Sizemore
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
We should have traded Kendrick for his fat ass as Cabrera's
:) NOT!!!!
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Sizemore MVP?
Red - July 15, 2008
Eva?
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
How possible is it to bunt it to Uggla?
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Just pinch hit Reggie Willits and have him hit it as hard as he can
that would be the rough equivalent to a bunt to second.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
so much for that idea...
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
lol oh man...........
you know Rivera is gonna get MVP…...for closing this bitch out
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Rivera for the win and the MVP?
cupie - July 15, 2008
win by suicide squeeze
that would be rad
Red - July 15, 2008
WP and MVP will be Rivera
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
OMG.......3 errors in the ALL STAR GAME for the NL.........
haha
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
This game is boring - let's have a balk to get the winning run home
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Got it to Uggla
but he choked and make the play.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
How awesome would it be for Uggla to be in the AL West, but not on our team?
Garret Anderson would reach-on-error every single at-bat against that team!
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
rofl
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
EVA for MVP!!!!!!!!!!!
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
if he gets a run home......he'll have 2 RBIs
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
I want a Grand Slam
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Blue keeping the strike zone pretty tight
cupie - July 15, 2008
idots
Red - July 15, 2008
Whoops.
Groundout.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
you kidding me?!?!
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
Man these guys SUCK!!!
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Wow, this would be an epic chokejob.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
leave it to a Ray and an Indian to NOT come thru
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
c'mon Moreknob
Red - July 15, 2008
Intentional walk paying off so far
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Woooo Hooooo!
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Nice!
Tejada
cupie - July 15, 2008
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
scottnak - July 15, 2008
WOW
that was a tough play
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
So SLOW!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
was moreknob hustling??? seemed like he could have been safe at 3rd
Red - July 15, 2008
ho-lee shit
Carl Johnson - July 15, 2008
WEAK!!!
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Woah!
Juiced!
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
screw this game...........lol
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
miguel tejada with the play
nobody here wanted him. :)
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
halos offense isnt THAT bad
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Haha
exactly what I was just thinking…remember that inning the next time the offense sputters.
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Aaron Cook, MVP.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
I'm with you.
That was pretty clutch.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Awesome
that takes Mariano out of the running for MVP
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
thats what happens when SOMEONE from each team HAS to be on the team.......
you end up with the scrubs at the end
norcaliangelsfan - July 15, 2008
Eh.
These aren’t really scrubs except maybe Cook, oddly enough.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
11-6, 3.57
If he’s a scrub with those numbers, so is Ervin. Other than Guzman, there really isn’t a scrub in the game.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Actually, good point.
Especially out of Coors, on that team, that’s Cy-worthy.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
My fantasy team would like to know
why Aaron Cook can get 11 wins with a shitty, sub-.500 team, and Cole Hamels can only muster 7 with a division leading team.
It’s killing me.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Clearly it's because Cook knows how to protect a tie game.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Wait, Cole has 9, nevermind
but somehow six losses with a 3.15 ERA. Doesn’t make sense.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Either way, see above.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
I'm feeling a little better now
Now I can root for the AL again.
I’m still pissed that jerk of a manager took out Frankie.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
He probably feels stupid now.
And should.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
me too
i felt legitimately bad for uggla…wouldve been a terrible way to lose
Carl Johnson - July 15, 2008
Round of drinks on Dan Uggla
After getting bailed out, he be buyin the boys some cold sodeys
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
He owes Cook a new house for that shit.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
True dat
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
And Tejada a new car.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Game only remotely watchable
Now that there is only 1 Red Sox and no A’s left in the game
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
I ain't watching.
Doing a movie instead. Following on Gameday so I can mock the game here.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
And a Royal on the hill!
Go ROYALS!
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
"Nightmare?"
This rules you ass.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Em, that was in quotes
To whom exactly was the ass comment directed?
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Joe Buck
Zu Long - July 16, 2008
The fate of home field for the World Series.....................
............is in the hands of a KC Royal. HELP US.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
We'll be fine
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Seriously
Best regular season record = home field in WS. How hard is that?
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Shut up
there’s no room for your “logic” and “common sense” here. No room at all. In fact, GTFO.
Now.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
My apologies
leaving
leftwing - July 15, 2008
This is too awesome for me to care though.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
quick question...
So Frankie only faced one batter this evening?
cupie - July 15, 2008
2 I think
scottnak - July 15, 2008
Walk and an out in the 9th.
red floyd - July 15, 2008
Two
walked the first got the second. Then that prick took him out.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
2; walked one and a fly out i believe
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
2--leadoff walk and got an out
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Quentin flew out to CF.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
ROFL
Was waiting for that.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Thanks for all the replies and to Carlos...
A very lame use of Frankie.
cupie - July 15, 2008
soria's looking pretty good
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
just in case you didn't know cupie
Frankie faced 2 battersm a walk and a fly out.
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
geez, if i'm gonna be a smart ass
frankie face 2 batters, got a walk and a fly out.
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
Reggie Bullits
could you please give me a pitch by pitch as well?
thanks.
cupie - July 15, 2008
But you're on to something.
All responses to cupie when Frankie is on the mound should be: “frankie faced 2 batters, got a walk and a fly out.”
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
lol
i thought it was hilarious
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
I hope that the Vegas crew bailed on this long ago.
I would love to see the hourly ratings for this turd of an idea of an exhibition.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
For Fox, this is as good as it gets.
Otherwise the public would be subjected to a “brilliant” show like ‘No Pants Island’ or ‘Fart Date’
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
that's funny
No Pants Island…. Priceless
cupie - July 15, 2008
Fart Date sounds pretty good
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Turns out, not so much fun.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Whoa, what happened to the zone?
That was a strike.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
The Fix is in. Cook has been declared the loser.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
Soth Ball! Navarro showing bunt.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Quick: Bobby Murcer? Dead or alive?
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
End this, dammit!
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Our home field fate in the hands of Rays, Royals and Rangers
Sweet jeebus
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
WHOA Kinsler safe by a mile
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
damn that was close
Red - July 15, 2008
Tejada didn't even tag him.
Wow, and that was a pitchout too.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Close, by you mean not tagging him?
cupie - July 15, 2008
tejeda sold that one
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
i hate tejada
Red - July 15, 2008
Yeah, umpire doesn't get super slow mo at that angle
Give the guy a break. Throw beat him, swipe was there in time, of course he’s gonna get called out.
leftwing - July 15, 2008
I called safe before slo-mo replay.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
ok
you get a medal
cupie - July 15, 2008
We're out of medals
I only have cookies or stickers.
They’re gold-star stickers, though.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
no scratch n sniff ?
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Gold Star for Robot Boy
cupie - July 15, 2008
Damn straight.
I want a pony too.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
what do you want with the pony?
Funke5ive - July 15, 2008
Superpowers would be nice.
You know, just in general.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
form of a California Condor... form of an Ice Bridge
cupie - July 15, 2008
That's not a superpower.
That’s a curse.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
i took pictures on a pony when i was little.
I think they came to out door.
Funke5ive - July 15, 2008
our*
Funke5ive - July 15, 2008
How did Doug Eddings get in this game
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Nancy Drew with the base hit.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Navarro is SLOW.
I’m really starting to appreciate the wheels on Mathis and Naps.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Wow
game is over if not for the blown call.
NL MVP = 2nd base umpire.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Dave Navarro on 2nd
cupie - July 15, 2008
Can Kazmir pinch-hit?
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
I think Cook has Frankititis
he can only pitch well after totally fucking up and putting runners all over the map.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
HOLY FUCK
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
F you Navarro
hauldog - July 15, 2008
Holy crap Navarro is slow
leftwing - July 15, 2008
rofl so slow
Carl Johnson - July 15, 2008
NAVARRO IS TOO SLOW.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
wow.... out at the plate
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Navarro is SLOW!!!!!!!!
What an idiot! On a single up the middle!
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Dave Navarro thrown out at home
by Carmen Electra er Russel Martin.
Great play Russel Martin
cupie - July 15, 2008
Nice throw my McLouth
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Great tag by Martin
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Hey, I ain't watching. So how slow is Navarro?
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
SLOW AS ****.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
A half-step slower than Kotch
But maybe faster than Bengie was
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
totally
somewhere between bengie and kotch, but without the savy
cupie - July 15, 2008
I thought it was a slow motion replay. But it wasn't.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
don't send a fat guy around third...
unless it’s a third trip to the buffet spread
Red - July 15, 2008
go go go go tie tie tie tie
scottnak - July 15, 2008
I see we share a rooting interest
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Wow
what a great crazy inning!
cupie - July 15, 2008
If this wasn't the All Star Game, it would be a good game
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Still a good game. The ASG just means it's hilarious, too.
TheOptimist - July 15, 2008
It would be an awesome game
If it wasn’t 5.26 am where I am. However, thank jeebus I don’t have to work today.
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
I do not envy you at all
And the game isn’t that bad either…
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
Guzman playing 3B like Brooks Robinson
Nice play by the Senators!
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
halos would of at least sacrificed a run in by now...
see…even all star offenses struggle :P
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
And you know, if that was an Angel running home,
he would have FLATTENED Martin.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Like Quentin already tried to?
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Bring on Ersty!!!
ladybug - July 15, 2008
Willits would have mowed him down
... mind you Willits would have scored without a slide
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Willits would have been in the showers by the time the throw got there
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Nah
he’d be in the parking lot, signing autographs.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Well, I was giving him time to do a few interviews
leftwing - July 15, 2008
XD So true.
BTW Francona That’s why you keep a pinch runner.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
When will Bud Selig call it?
cupie - July 15, 2008
can he?
there’s something attached to it now. who gets home field advantage in a tie?
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Milwaukee Brewers if they make it
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
wait... what?
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Headline would read: Former owner of the club uses executive power to grant Brewhas homefield in WS
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
I'm telling you, he will authorize Jeter to come back as PH.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
And have Goose Gossage pitch to him
Slow-pitch softball style.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
In the time it took watching Navarro to round third and get home
I could have saved up to 15% on car insurance by switching to Geico.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
i could've bought a brand new flat-screen TV from Howard's
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
No you couldn't.
You forgot to check your credit score first.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
at f-r-e-e-creditreport.com
....bay-bee?
howiestheman - July 15, 2008

Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
checkin in...
hey guys.
heckuva game we’re having here, eh?
what a play by that Pirates CF…
we need to win this thing
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Great tag by Martin too
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
no kidding
great play
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Royals manager can't be too happy
The closer is being made to throw a 2nd inning of work.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Yeah you gotta love Francona being a selfish f---cker
Let’s just burn out the KC guy’s arm. What the hell?
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
What a lazy play
leftwing - July 15, 2008
mcclouth came to play
ZiK - July 15, 2008
good for him
that’s the way to do it.
he’s a rookie, right?
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
i think he's been around at least a year or two
ZiK - July 15, 2008
you're right
been around since 2005
he’s just never done anything til now
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
McClouth with hustle.
I like it.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
I could see McClouth in an Angel uniform.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
Yup.
He has nothing to play for, his team blows, but he showed more hustle there then 95% of the other players in this game.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Well, it IS an exhibition game
Really only young guys on shitty teams that want to showcase themselves have anything to play for.
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Except the playoff bound teams have home field to play for.
McClouth is a Pirate for four more years.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
Terrible bunt
But it got the job done.
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
justin
that was gonna go foul, my man
cupie - July 15, 2008
Oh Shit it's Uggla again.
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
uggla with yet another chance to redeem himself
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
Uggla
MVP
cupie - July 15, 2008
Oh this is high drama!
Come on Uggla, another GIDP
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Lidge warming up for the save
A Phillie gets in the game
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
crap... Uggla can hit
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
He can also strike out
a lot.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
HAHAHAHAHA!
AL MVP!!
Zu Long - July 15, 2008
are you kidding me????
Soria’s curve is NUTS!
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Beauty curve by Soria to get Uggla.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
BOTG
Uggla
leftwing - July 15, 2008
Uggla
just got massacred
cupie - July 15, 2008
What happened to all the All Stars?
cupie - July 15, 2008
i think they're all on the bench
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
sweet All Star game
cupie - July 15, 2008
are you surprised?
that crap always happens
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
frankie faced 2 batters, got a walk and a fly out.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
panther
SCHalo - July 15, 2008
Anaheim
or on vacation from Anaheim
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
ummm... why is soria coming out?
Red - July 15, 2008
HAHA wow... uggla is getting schooled
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
lol uggla's WPA on fangraphs just dropped to -0.573
ZiK - July 15, 2008
An ex-Mariner is coming into the game................
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
You mean the guy
who is single-handedly worth more than the guy he was traded for, even though he wasn’t the main piece of the trade?
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
I'd like to listen in on the phone call
where Francona tries to explain to the Royals’ manager why Soria just threw 30 pitches.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
Well
At least he didn’t do it to someone who pitches for a contender.
leftwing - July 15, 2008
That's why I'm glad Frankie was pulled after just 2 batters.
Fan Since 1981 - July 15, 2008
I suppose I understand where Francona's coming from
It would be an easier call to make than having to explain to Maddon why he used Kazmir in a pennant race. Honourable really.
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
and yet, he's up in the pen
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Well at least he's saved him to the dead last option
I think Francona has managed this game pretty well from protecting his rival teams’ players viewpoint
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
Francona pulling Frankie after 1/3 inning postive note
Should give Frankie motivation going into our next series.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
Inadvertently saved his arm for us to use against him.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
Plus the
I’ll show you, you #$%^#!!@.
vladtheimpaler - July 15, 2008
is Jeanie Velasco a man in a wig?
Red - July 15, 2008
joe buck would tap that
BigBangRobbDawgg - July 15, 2008
No way
Buck is usually the bitch.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 15, 2008
with a lisp and a sneer.
Stirrups - July 15, 2008
In the parlance of our time, LOL!!
Big Easy Halofan - July 15, 2008
doooood
is Kazmir comes in, Maddon’s gonna flip
howiestheman - July 15, 2008
Shit, Kazmir is limbering up
highlandhalo - July 15, 2008
