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

[BCVM22]

I think it was his one blown save.

 

He did enter a few tie games and lose.

 

None of which would have been blown saves, for the record.

I cannot believe they are getting rid of this park. Idiots.

 

??

Babe Ruth played there. You are getting rid of history and I do not like it.

This is where Babe Ruth played

Babe Ruth did not play here.

 

I realize Wrigley has changed quite a bit since players like Gabby Harnett played, but still. It's completely different since the mid-70's

I just think that this one, Wrigley, and Fenway should never be torn down. You could build another park and use the old ones now and again for big games, but you cannot tear them down. They are too big a part of the game and it's history.

How many people does Soto's first home run kill?

 

It depends, does the subway train that he hits tip over at the force of his blast?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

McCarver mentions Sizemore in the same sentence, but still says that Lee has helped the Indians more than anyone else in that trade. He's off to a great start.

I know, that why I referenced tham as I did.

 

Edit: Were you coming after me? Or calling the criteria out?

Why can't the Cardinals hire him as their GM?

The stupid conundrum of this whole thing is that back in the older days when the game DIDN'T matter, they kept the starters in there usually the whole game, and now that it DOES matter they do this stupid Little League type thing where everyone has to get in or they feel slighted.

Those chants are one of the coolest things in sports.

[chuckywang]

It's be friggin hilarious if Rivera blows the save and takes the loss.

 

And then the Cubs beat the Yankees in the WS, winning every home game.

[UMFan83]

Cliff Lee was a good choice as the SP with the lefties in the NL lineup.

Have you been there before?

 

Personally I thought the same way as you until I went there. What a dump. Cramped dark narrow concourses, extremely steep upper deck, cramped seats.

 

So not all that different from Wrigley?

 

Eye of the beholder.

except Pujols. He is held back as insurance.

I find a roll call for Pedroia and Youk hilarious

[UMFan83]

Dammit NL

[Joe_Cub]

geez, nice start

[JoshiQ]

I don't like caring about this game. It makes me upset.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Cliff Lee was a good choice as the SP with the lefties in the NL lineup.

 

Utley and Fukudome are the only ones.

[Cubs Fan In New York]

Cliff Lee pitching as advertised.

[NonProfitCow]

That umpire must think that it's Glavine out there on the mound.

[BCVM22]

I know, that why I referenced tham as I did.

 

Edit: Were you coming after me? Or calling the criteria out?

 

Neither, I was simply pointing the fact out since the first post specifically referenced blown saves.

[illiniguy]

Cliff Lee was a good choice as the SP with the lefties in the NL lineup.

 

Utley and Fukudome are the only ones.

But it forces Berkman and Jones to their lesser sides.

[Shilzzz]

Did he just call the Mets the New York Giants?

[CubsBears29]

Well, this is certainly starting like another typical yearly AL domination of this farce of a game.
