Perfect. So, how will the NL strand Wright? I'm thinking two straight WPs, followed by three straight Ks looking.

Three, I believe. Kinsler, Braun, and Youkilis. According to Baseball Almanac Braun is half a jew - not too shabby. Which half, mama or papa? Because if it's papa, it doesn't count.

Anyone have a picture of Selig throwing his arms up in the air in frustration handy from when he called the tie All Star Game?

Three, I believe. Kinsler, Braun, and Youkilis.

Intentionally walk Morneau...only to let him steal second. Okay then.

That could have been nice.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go again.

Still Aaron Cook? Well, whatever.

If this game is tied, I think the NL and AL should name representatives for racing in the Gumball 3000.

This Baby Ruth commercial makes me want to kill someone and successfully invoke the Twinkie defense.

He f'd this up.

This game is a bit too exciting for its own good.

:blink:

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

Dan Uggla sucks.

That sucked.

Bank of America: Yeah, we bought Countrywide. So what? Want to fight about it?!

Ok, so say it does end in a tie, what determines HFA in the WS? Best record or interleague W/L? I believe they would go to a two-man sack race held on consecutive Sundays. Carlos Zambrano better be one of the competitors.

I'm not sure you understand the rules. We're running out of pitchers and position players on both sides. I don't think the managers do, either.

Joe Buck hates Ryan Dempster.

I'll laugh if this game ends in a tie.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here comes Dempster to blow it.
