All Star Game Discussion

You're going to blame Clint Hurdle for taking Aaron Cook? He was a lock for MVP if the NL won.

Miguel Tejada

 

I could see that. I had fun rooting for him last night, he looked really pumped to be there, and really wanted to beat those bastards from the AL.

I would have loved to see Miguel get it, He looked awesome last night! Especially that one play to end the 10th inning!

You know what the best part of the game was, IMO? The some of the new talent on showcase during the second half of the game.

 

For the AL:

Grady Sizemore

Evan Longoria

Ian Kinsler

Carlos Quentin

Joakim Soria

Scott Kazmir (Although he didn't look very good and that appearance may cost him)

 

For the NL:

Russell Martin (I know he isn't that new, but I think he really opened some eyes)

Adrian Gonzalez

Dan Uggla (Although that performance could possibly ruin him)

Carlos Marmol's slurve.

Aaron Cook (okay maybe not)

Ryan Ludwick (Even if that catch was kind of a sham great play)

 

 

I enjoyed seeing these guys play hard because they were playing in on of the first first few all-star games in their respective careers and it meant something still. I enjoyed the show, which must mean Bud Selig's mind tricks are working.

Don't forget Nate McLouth and his nice assist.

That throw was nice. But, Lets not forget the great pick, block and tag by Russel Martin at the other end.
