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

[CubsBears29]

Why is it the NL always manages to look like a low-A ball team in this game??

Good at bat Ryan. Whatever you do keep not taking pitches during the second half.

Braun strikes out on an 83 mph fastball.

You have got to stop treating baseball players like fine china. I've had much worse spills playing soccer.

 

I agree to an extent, but he could have rolled his ankle. When you aren't expecting to step on something and do, it's going to make you do something that doesn't feel too good.

 

Plus when it is one of your better players you hold your breath on every play looks like it could result in injury during an all star game.

Nice swing Braun. that ball was 5 feet high and outside.

[Tracer Bullet]

If I'm Lee and I've watched any game tapes of recent Cubs games, I walk Braun to get to Fukudome.

Fuku got lucky...He faces a righty next inning. Can they keep Sheets in for the whole game?

[Careless]

I cannot believe they just showed that particular budweiser commercial

Some might jump you for that comment ("stats say otherwise!!"), but I agree with you.

Saunders, a lefty, was in the pen,.

I thought Braun murdered lefties....At least he did last year.

[Cubs Fan In New York]

Why is Lee so good this year? Did he change something in his mechanics?

Then again, I'm not sure Braun had any intention of taking a ball much less a walk.

He practiced his cutter grip every morning while eating cereal with the other hand.

I don't know but it pisses me off because there were Rolen for Lee and Marte rumors flying this winter.

exactly - it may "count" but it's still an exhibition.
