2008 All-Star Game: NL (Sheets) @ AL (Lee) 7 pm FOX

[CubsBears29]

Soto and Fukudome probably done for tonight, with 2 ABs each.

 

And this would be a bad thing, how?

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Is Fukudome looking silly while whiffing just: Fukudome being Fukudome?

[inari]

Well that's it for Z. He had a nice outing.

[OleMissCub]

I wonder how many players not in the game watch this on TV.

 

Hollidaybomb

 

I'd guess that many, if not most, do.

 

I would think the last thing they are doing is watching baseball.

 

I think you'd be surprised.

 

Yeah, they all have a friend or a teammate in the game.

 

Right, and most of them are probably just hanging around the house with their family.

Never said it was.

[SouthSideRyan]

Dempster should be brought in for the save.

 

Marmol....duck

 

I'd imagine Marmol is an extra innings only pitcher.

[NonProfitCow]

I miss you Danny H.

 

And I forgive you for your 10 ER spot start at Wrigley.

Lou's probably begging for him to pitch

[BCVM22]

Dammit Haren.

[OleMissCub]

I just got angry all of the sudden thinking about how Ron should have been standing out there at third.

 

That stuff really pisses me off sometimes. How can you be a near unanimous top 10 player EVER at your position and not be in the HOF? Freaking ridiculous.

 

Mazeroski was at second.

 

Are you kidding me!?

 

A career line of .260/.299/.367, 84 OPS+, is DEFINITELY Hall of Fame worthy.

[Ski]

Geez Haren.

[Little Slide Rooter]

From here on out, lets hope the AL doesnt take a lead. I dont know if the NL can deal with Papelbon, Nathan, K Rod, Rivera.

[BCVM22]

I miss you Danny H.

 

And I forgive you for your 10 ER spot start at Wrigley.

 

I was at that game in 2004. The one thing that really stays with me is the guy behind me shouting "we'll see ya at Triple-A, buddy!" as he was taken out.

If the NL somehow gets a 5-7 run lead, I bet Lou convinces Hurdle to let Marmol come in, thus blowing it or the NL barely winning it.

 

Gotta stick close to form.

[Outshined_One]

That remains one of my all-time favorite Cubs games to this day.

Didn't the AL come back against Wagner, Smoltz and Gagne

[NonProfitCow]

Yadi for all time catcher

[BCVM22]

Yeah, Z's not getting the win...

[bcl412]

Those are 3 ugly women

[Little Slide Rooter]

Marmol time.

[OleMissCub]

Damn, there's our greasy commish.

[CubsBears29]

NL catchers are channeling Jason Kendall tonight.

 

And Haren is gonna blow it. Perfect.

[NonProfitCow]

I miss you Danny H.

Kills me because I still think that was part of the reason he was traded. Throw out that stupid start that he had no time to prepare for and he was great in 04.

[CubsBears29]

Fallacy. Whoa. Big words there, Tim.

 

Don't overextend yourself, its just an exhibition game.

[Ski]

Just one more, Haren.
