FOX trying to turn Steinbrenner into Ted Williams.....

Nice lineup of HoF players - said to be the biggest collection outside of Cooperstown. Living HoF players NOT appearing tonight (as far as I can tell): C. Fisk C. Yasztremski - never seems to show up to this sort of thing S. Musial - older and reportedly in poor health N. Ryan -WTF, you're still part of the game dude J. Bunning - and Congress isn't even in session T. Seaver - grape pickin' time I guess J. Morgan - you're at 3 games a week man! D. Eckersley J. Bench D. Snider S. Koufax - notoriously event-shy

Eckersley was there. Bench was in NY (I heard him on FAN today) so I wonder why he wasn't introduced. The ceremony wasn't bad until Steinbrenner showed up. He had no business being there unless he was searching for a calzone.

Frayed Knot Jul 15 2008 06:41 PM

Geez, Bob Feller turns 90 later this year and looks like he can still pitch. (OK that 2nd part is a bit of an exaggeration but the age is accurate and he looks pretty damn good).

Willie just said he'd have Sizemore sac bunt Hamilton over to third. Then Willie could sac bunt Hamilton home with the next batter.

Hmmmm. Brian Wilson. Yeesh.

Nymr83 Jul 15 2008 09:10 PM

that run is not papelbon's fault, all he did was allow a single, navarro made a terrible throw to let tejada get to 3rd and the sac fly brought him in. Wilson will pitch the 8th, does that mean Wagner will close or will it be Lidege?

Nymr83 Jul 15 2008 09:11 PM

by the way, espn.com is so busy with articles kissing yankee stadiumm's metaphorical ass that i could not even find an all-star roster, i had to go to mlb.com to see who was left on each bench.

Nice K of Guillen. Two down. Lou Gehrig. Lucky -- lucky he's not subjected to Fox's MLB coverage.

Here comes Wags with two down. Is he the All-Star LOOGY?

Frayed Knot Jul 15 2008 09:13 PM

If the mgrs had any sense of drama they'd set up an all-NY closer matchup for the 9th. Wilson, meanwhile, having some fun, fun, fun at the AL's expense.

I think Longoria's bat scraped the plate when he hit that ball. Wagner had him fooled he just got lucky. Plus the first hit was a three hop groundball. If you're not going to blame Papelbon then you really shouldn't blame Wagner.

That was a close one. Now David can get a big hit.

Zvon Jul 15 2008 10:07 PM

WHEW! I thought no way Tejada would get him at 1st. Even after he threw, which I thought was gonna be airmailed over the 1st basemans head. Nice play.

Elster88 Jul 15 2008 10:08 PM

Actually a tie after all this disgusting hype....maybe not so bad?

Ohhhh D-WRIGHT!!!! YOU. CAN. DO. IT.

Wright hosed on another pitch.

Rockin' Doc Jul 15 2008 10:10 PM

Selig would never stand for the All Star Game to end in a tie. That would make an embarrassing sham of the game.

Uggla and the Mets representative's would have been better off staying home.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 15 2008 10:14 PM

Really looking now like Reyes and Santana were the pair to take.

Gwreck Jul 15 2008 10:14 PM

They cannot in good conscience end in a tie. Hopefully this will finally put an end to the "everybody gets in the game" and we can actually have the starters all play at least 7 innings, and pitchers go 2-3 innings each.

Looks like Kinsler missed the "shine your helmet" memo. And he runs himself into an out. Yay.

AG/DC Jul 15 2008 10:18 PM

I'm certain he's being ironical. I'm almost certain that I don't particularly feel comfortable with Russell Martin running around in Orel Hershiser's number.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 15 2008 10:18 PM

I think most of the NL guys left in the game are players picked because their teams were required to have a representative.

Nymr83 Jul 15 2008 10:19 PM

fox anouncers suxking AL dick saying kinsler was safe.... where were the zoom-in replays when the NL player was safe at 2nd?

metsguyinmichigan Jul 15 2008 10:20 PM

J.D. Drew is a menace. But at least slow-footed Rays catcher in the lead runner.

Rockin' Doc Jul 15 2008 10:21 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 15 2008 10:23 PM

Why not walk Young and set up a potential inning ending DP? Upon edit: Never mind my stupidity. It's late and I actually forgot about Drew already occupying first.

FOX guys talking about "solutions" to the tie problem, and ignoring the obvious one: don't bring pitchers in for 1 inning each, if this game is going to count for something then the starter needs to go five, each closer needs to go a full inning, and any other starter that pitches needs to go 3. you wont run out of pitchers that way and i dont care who doesnt get to pitch. if you want everyone to play then the game shouldnt count for anything, then it can be managed like an exhibition game as it currently is

Guess so. This is just incredible that this should happen. And its gonna such be a big issue tomorrow (or later today). Extra innings.... WhatsTheBigDeal? Check and see when Seaver pitched the 15th back in 1967, when he pitched last before that game. And then it really was just an exhibition game. No World Series home field carp involved. Maybe they should have expanded rosters for a contest like this, but thats the only answer I'd ever entertain. Its baseball. Play the game till its over. And shaaaaadup.

Nymr83 Jul 16 2008 01:07 AM

if they expanded the rosters you'd just have guys going 1/3 of an inning so more people could play. these staffs have more starters on themt han normal staffs, they should be able to go 40 innings without a problem if they didnt have this "get everyone in and hten be suprised when nobody is left" philosophy.
