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

[Ding Dong Johnson]

and on to the 24th...

[imb]

just how long can the nl keep walking this tight wire?

 

im guessing it ends here, a lot of power on the way to the plate

 

When is your deadline?

 

hour fifteen ago, but i pressed and got it pushed back til 12:10... which passed 10 minutes ago

 

hopefully it ends and i can write something or something crosses the wire soon enough to get it in a late edition or something. either way, im here till it ends and it goes up on the website.

 

what happens if it doesn't end very soon? is there a backup plan or something, like run some canned story or promote another story up to top billing and write "the mlb all-star game ended too late for publication"

 

AP has running editions, so the first edition of our paper has All-Star game tied late: Instant classic lasts late into New York Night as a header with a running edition from the 13th inning as the story with an ed. note that the full story will be on the website.

i'm hoping this pushes Webb back so he misses the Cubs series !!

 

when would that be?

 

It's the second series after the break I believe.

[otis89]

This will bite me in the butt, but Webb=good

Webb throws perfect game against Cubs in game 5 of the ALDS.

 

What are the Cubs and D'Backs doing in the ALDS?

[Garwilly]

Kazmir for the 15th? Position player in the 16th? or 17th?

[Brian]

i'm hoping this pushes Webb back so he misses the Cubs series !!

 

when would that be?

 

games 4 5 and 6 out of the break.

[ELCABALLO45]

you know what this game needs? a rain delay

that would be perfect

 

=D>

[Derwood]

Sick pitching by Webb. Sherill for another or is Kazmir available?

 

kazmir was warming

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

You know who doesn't like this?

 

Joe Buck...he doesn't have time for baseball.

What paper does imb! write for?

 

 

he's the MLB correspondent on Roast's blog.

This may push him INTO our series. LOL

Webb throws perfect game against Cubs in game 5 of the ALDS.

that would really suck if the Cubs were moved to the AL

[CubsBears29]

15 innings, and only 1 guy left in each bullpen, and only 1 position guy left in either dugout.

 

Bud is so calling this if still tied at the end of this inning.

[E.J.]

This is hilarious. Of course, I don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I don't care what time it is.

 

I'm still holding out hope that it ends in a tie. I want to see Bud freak out and then try to figure what he's going to do about his stupid idea of making this game count.

Or a sunrise. Maybe then these hitters will see the ball.

[OleMissCub]

I say they should go to Penalty Kicks.

[ELCABALLO45]

Let's just put the softball fences in and play with those so we can score a run or two.

[CubsBears29]

This game is like Josh Hamilton's HR Derby 1st round... the event that wouldn't end!!!

[bcl412]

I say they should go to Penalty Kicks.

 

Hockey style shoot out would be better

[Derwood]

AL has no bench players left

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I can't wait to see what stupid stuff Uggla does here

[Guest]

awesome we get to see a young pitcher ruined in front of our eyes.

[TMan92]

Uggla needs to homer here.

Whoops :P

[Outshined_One]

I think I know what the AL needs now.

 

Kazmir having to leave the game due to injury.
