2008 MLB All-Star Game

Why would there have been boos and angry chants, be doesn't play for the Red Sox !

The fact that F-Rod was in a situation where Rivera usually is?

Fun fact:

Tonight's six stolen bases tie the record for most bases stolen in an All-Star Game.

This doesn't surprise me. Stolen Bases and triples are up in the league this year. Small ball and hustle are more important now that the players know that steroids won't be tolerated anymore.

BTW, my "under" prediction of 2.5 HR's in this game is holding true so far....

Who is left for pitchers in this game ?
If it goes extra will Selig call it in the 11th.

Cuz he doesn't play for the yankees

 

[SabresRule]

Double-play to end the inning!

Now, the A.L. can go for the win!

 

[rogerpl]

Nice play by Kinsler

 

[Jimbo]

Finally a decent throw from Navarro

 

[rogerpl]

This is set up for Drew to be MVP

The AL still has 3 arms left. (Scott Kazmir, Joakim Soria and George Sherrill)

The NL has 4 arms left.

I hope this game ends soon.

I fear there could be another tie

Kasmir is a Starter, I would hope he doesn't get used, or it will be a real late night and his manager is not going to like that much.

Francona could use the DH in the field if the need arises.

 

[Jimbo]

They just mentioned the NL pitchers left, Lidge , Cook and two others I don't remember.

Extra innings.

I have a BAD feeling about this...

 

[HD MM]

I've never seen Dempster pitch before. Whats with that quirky gesture with his glove before the pitch! How distracting.

 

[HD MM]

This is set up for Drew to be MVP

How's that again?

 

[rogerpl]

How's that again?

Not without swinging

 

[HD MM]

Oh man. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day! 5am comes early....

 

[rogerpl]

ok- Longoria is the next chance for AL MVP- could give it to Rivera if finishes this inning and AL wins in bottom

 

[HD MM]

I hope this game ends soon.

I fear there could be another tie

This crowd would riot if that happened. Plus the baseball gods buried in right field may rise from the dead and haunt Selig till the end of time!
