All Star teams

[Brian]

The selection show is on TBS this year, and will begin real soon if the Marlins can get 1 out without the Braves scoring.

 

Not a good day for there to be rain in Florida, TBS' first year with the selection show and it's going to start over an hour late.

 

 

Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken will be providing analysis. ESPN gets washed up has beens while TBS gets hall of famers.

[Brian]

and Gregg blows the save after getting 2outs and nobody on. This is getting delayed more.

 

...and then Wickman blows it in the bottom of the 9th. Tied with no outs. I bet the TBS guys are not happy.

[Bixby]

lol This is so fitting. Is anybody else kind of hoping for a 15 inning marathon?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm hoping this one goes 36 innings.... :whistle:

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, this sucks. End this game already.

[Brian]

might be close as Soriano pulled a cubs move and threw a ball errantly to 2nd on a bunt.

 

and it's over willingham ends it

[Bixby]

I need to see Sosa on the AL roster.

Pudge at catcher is a joke

[Ender]

I think Posada should be the C, there is no way I'd pick VMart given how many speed guys are going to be on the NL team. Bengie Molina could probably steal off VMart at a 70% clip. Edited July 1, 2007 by Ender

Isn't Posada a horrible defensive catcher?

[Ender]

Isn't Posada a horrible defensive catcher?

 

he's not good though he's not VMart bad either... though I just looked it up and this year he has been worse. Maybe Pudge makes some sense then.

[Mephistopheles]

Posada and Martinez have both thrown out 15 base stealers this season. Posada has allowed 59 steals, Martinez 37.

 

Your point was.....what?

We all know Soriano will (probably) be the only Cub invited. Maybe Derrek Lee.

[Bote McBoteface]

No, I think Ramirez will make the team, too.

[Rusch33]

Bonds jumped Soriano in the voting.

Something smells.

[Mephistopheles]

I don't think so. Wright and Cabrera are locks. Then it's Chipper or Ramirez and Chipper's been better. There won't be four third basemen on the team. Honestly, Braun has as good as a shot as Ramirez.

:x

 

I hate Bonds

[Brian]

I don't see how that happens when everybody outside of San Francisco hates him.

[98navigator]

It's fixed

[Bote McBoteface]

He's probably spent the past month or so voting for himself non stop. I wouldn't put it past him.

[hawkcub]

Barry was down by 120,000 and surpasses by 100,000. I say again something stinks.
