couple things thus far

I love Fox, thier old school tributes and thier music :(

How awesome is the prez? Baggy jeans, Sox jacket and all

3-3, Jeter scored twice :cool:

I guess I am the only Fox fan on this board because I love Buck and McCarver too.

He throws like a girl.

OMG just read somewhere that Erin Andrews got hit in the face by an Alex Cora foul ball last week at Citi Field. She just got hit in the chin and is fine but still, Cora you fucker.

FUCK YOU ALEX CORA, YOU DO NOT HIT ERIN ANDREWS

I'd like to hit Erin Andrews on the chin with my balls. :naughty:

Simmons said it best, anytime a woman goes into the press box, she goes up a notch, at least from a C- to a B. So when Erin Andrews walks in, jaws are dropping

4-3, AL, bottom of the 9th...gettin' kinda tense in here.

Also, gotta kinda wonder just how quick Obama got to the ballpark, because he had a speech to a bunch of students at Macomb Community College (somewhere over by Detroit) from 3:30-4...although, I'm sure AF1 can get wherever it needs to probably within a couple of hours, but that's just a guess-timate.

wow Rivera's kid looks exactly like him. I know you are like "duh, that's his kid," but you know what I mean.

MARIANO

2 outs...come on AL, hold on...:-\

Well, we held on and at least the AL World Series rep(resentative). gets Home Field advantage...all that matters.

Crawford was actually MVP DAMN iNATOR :o

<font color=goldenrod>Well, at least K-Rod didn't blow it and Howard did. Kinda makes me feel better. That whole 9th after Howard K'd was disturbing tho. NL dugout looked tense while the AL dugout was joking around. It's like everyone knew it was over with Mo coming in.</font>

Yeah...I see that now. Granderson got screwed. Royally. And he was the one who basically sealed the deal in the 8th for the A.L. too, those ungrateful bastards...:nono:

You know, for this supposedly being HIS All Star Game, Albert Pujols had a pretty shitty couple of days.

Wtf is up with the fucking AL winning all the time.

American League is the big boys league. You haven't figured that out yet since '96?

And Pedro Martinez signs with the Phillies.

<font color=goldenrod>The last 4 AS games have been really close, I don't think the AL being the superior league has had much of a factor in the outcome of those games. Obv the AL shits on NL in interleague every year...but in terms of the ASG itself the NL usually seems to lose solely due to one or two guys, at least the last couple of years.

2006: Trevor Hoffman blowing the 9th inning save.

2007: La Russa leaving Pujols on the bench and allowing Aaron Rowand to bat as the potential go-ahead run with the bases loaded instead.

2008: This game was just a classic. Hard to imagine that if the NL had gotten through that last inning, we would have been seeing positions players pitch on both sides.

2009: Heath Bell for allowing the triple...then Ryan Howard striking out (big surprise)</font>

damn that Carl Crawford for robbing Bradley Hawpe

That's baseball. You can find instances similar to that in any game, and on the other side as well.

I think if the NL and AL were to play a best out of 5, the outcome would still be the same.

The outcome may be similar in a best of 5, but that's not because the AL is better -- it's because a best of 5 series is a really way of seeing who's a better team. The first round of the playoffs prove that almost every year. ;)

In terms of last night's game, I would've preferred to see the Howard and Fielder pinch hit ABs swapped -- have Howard hit in that early spot that Fielder did, and have Prince come up with the tying run on third. Fielder's been much better this year at bringing in runs in those situations this year and uses more of the field as a hitter than Howard does. Not like it really matters, though...even though the AL's always won the game ever since they started the HFA rule, both leagues have won 3 World Series in that time span. HFA hasn't been important since that Diamondbacks/Yankees series in 2001.

Edit: Forgot that the 2002 Giants/Angels series also went 7, but the point remains. It's been awhile since HFA meant anything.

what the hell happened to Lincecum?

what about him?

lol yeah what

batters were swinging at the first pitch. That's when he's most vulnerable

LETS GO PHILLIES

Cubs grab B.J Ryan and sign him to a 1-year deal.

My boys in Detroit need to play their asses off and not drop any games to the shit teams in our division (AL Central) if we're to go to the postseason this year.

What league are the Tigers in

intresting move. I wonder what Ryan has left.

Nice that the Cubs get a pickmeup series against the Nationals. Should sweep and be headed in the right direction.

the rockies scored 10 runs at PETCO

pretty sure that's never happened ever before

Red Sox DFA Julio Lugo.

Anybody need a decent SS?

Not gonna find it there...

What the fuck is with Phil Hughes against the Tigers? He struck out all 6 guys he faced tonight and even hit 97 on the gun. I dont think he's EVER hit 97 before. Chamberlain for setup and Hughes for closer in 2 years. Or the other way around.

What will the Mets do now, bat Frenchy cleanup? Can't really afford any more people on the DL at this point.
