For now, it appears to be on ESPN because of golf on ESPN 2.

 

I hear Montanez is starting and batting 9th.

 

Justin Verlander (Tigers) went through a scoreless first, surrendering a double to Kendry Morales (Angels) on the way.

[VVMattVV]

Yep, he's one of the two people from A ball starting on his World team.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

LaRoche is starting, so Scott Moore will come off the bench.

Why did I think this bad boy was coming on at 7?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Man, the AJP trade was brutal for the Giants. Liriano AND Nathan!?

[Outshined_One]

Don't forget Boof.

 

Lerew is now in for the World Team.

Grounds out 6-unassisted for the final out.

and he grounds out

[burnt out cubbie fan]

I still don't really understand why he is in there...

They probably wanted to replace Pie with a Cubs World OF, and who else is there from the Cubs system?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Choo hits a solo HR for the World team.

I mean I know why he is there, I just really don't think he deserves it.

Someone tell me how Bobby Jenks made it (even though hes not there due to promotion), and Rich Hill didnt? Edited July 10, 2005 by Bunts Lick Butts

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Anyone catch Peter Gammons' top position prospects?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Someone tell me how Bobby Jenks made it, and Rich Hill didnt?

 

Or Sean Marshall. Jenks is not even the #1 American pitcher on the White Sox. Or #2, if you count McCarthy.

Also, since I'm not watching because I thought the damn game was on at 7, did Milledge start?

[E.J.]

Australian people are cool. :smokin:

Why is Montanez on the World Team? Most of the world team players were signed out of the DR/South America, Montanez was born in Miami and drafted out of an American HS.

Actually, he was born in Puerto Rico but went to HS in Miami.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The game has now shifted back to ESPN2.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Monty up again.

 

Takes ball 1 outside.

Bunt attempt, but Luis is HBP.

[Jon]

Did they make the players bring their own white pants? Luis' pinstripes with the orange and white uniform top really works well...
