It counts?
You mean, even with Fox not saying that every other minute?
For those of you keeping count, this is the 78th All-Star Game.
And despite the possible implication in this thread's title, there's only one game...no "All-Star Game 2" or whatever.
It's 8:45...can we get this show on the road already?

He'll dive for it,
it'll bounce off his head and his dog'll catch it -- proving where all the defensive talent is in that household.

Hi A's Fans!!!
Loved seeing Danny introduced. We are so lucky to have him on OUR team. I'm confessing my age, but I was all boohooey about the Say Hey kid. He's one of my earliest memories of baseball and to have him throw from CF (albeit a short throw) was soooo cool. I don't think I've ever seen Bonds smile that much in an entire season.
The game is underway now and the AL just hit into a DP. Looks like the A's are represented by more than just Dan Haren. :-)

Obviously, the NL's strategy
is to drive up the opposing pitcher's pitch count--an especially excellent strategy in a game where 6-7 All-Stars will pitch 1-2 innings each.

Hey guys...
did you know that they're glad Barry Bonds is at the game? and that the fans voted him in? and that the fans love him and want to watch him play?
Cuz I thought maybe you missed it the first 20,000 times they've said it during this game.

okay, does anyone know anything about the Bonds

My friend was telling me something about a couple of guys using some form of internet fraud (sorry I am not a techy and can't elaborate) to vote over 500,000 times in the last day to vault Barroid into the starting lineup.
Anybody know anything about this??

scandalous. It wouldn't really surprise me, because it did seem like he had a huge jump in votes at the end. But oh well. I figured if there was a scam it was just MLB making up numbers so he could go since its in SF and he's so close to the record.

Ugh..
Ellis would've had that.

Ellis should qualify for next year's ASG based on
"Ellis would've had that" comments alone.

I was just about to rip on Dmitri Young
and then he goes ahead and singles.
Ah, what the hell. The Nationals must really suck if Young is their All Star.
by doctorK on Jul 10, 2007 8:45 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Who else would be their All Star?
Langerhans? D'Angelo Jiminez?

Thanks, Soriano. Putz confidence is ruined.

Whoa, intrigue.

Hopefully
Putz falls apart after this.
by sprtsnwyn on Jul 10, 2007 8:47 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah. We really need home field for the WS.

Putz has yet to blow a save this year?

Putz booooo!

Ugh. K-Rod is warming up.
Finish this, Putz.

Would be a good time to go to bed.
I've seen enough of him to last me several years.
by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 8:50 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe K-Fraud will suck too
and both Putz and K-Fraud be screwed for the second half.

McCarver doing his homework
McCarver: Soriano weighs 155-160 lbs
Baseball-Reference.com: 180 lbs
McCarver = Asshat

Whoa, Soriano's middle name is Guilleard.
That's kinda cool, actually.

Leyland ruins Putz's confidence thereby
giving Detroit a better chance at the WC. Brilliant!

Now I can't lose--
either the AL wins or K-Rod blows it. Either way, it's coo'.

Yeah. Now I'm divided.
This is awesome.

It was planned. Leyland wanted to make
by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 8:52 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, as much fun as that would be
to let K-Rud give up the winning run I mean -- we'd be sorry in October when we realized we weren't going to have home-field advantage when we play the Cubs.
by Englishmajor on Jul 10, 2007 8:53 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I'll take the chance.
by drmmerchk on Jul 10, 2007 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Can someone explain to me why
AN is looking different all of a sudden? Does it have something to do with 400 comments?
by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 8:53 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
It really doesn't handle "stress" very well.
by ohtobe21likehuston on Jul 10, 2007 8:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
For a normal game
new-thread mojo would be needed.

Unless Nico goes to the game :-)

If K-Rod ruins our chance at home field
for the WS...
by ohtobe21likehuston on Jul 10, 2007 8:54 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I'm waiting...
for someone to hit it back to the mound one of these days, because he's always facing backwards after he pitches.
by drmmerchk on Jul 10, 2007 8:56 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
That looked like a terrible call.

How does Pujols not get the pinch at-bat here?

Great question..
or maybe TLR's figuring anyone can walk..

He's going to be on a 6 sec delay now.

waiting.

What are those little Southwest
charms called? They are all hunched over and have spiky hair...? They might play a flute.
Anyway, dor-K looks like that when he's pitching from the stretch.

Gimme Pujols!
You have one of the best hitters on the planet and you don't use him in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded??? Tactical nuclear strike!

GO A's in the 2nd half!!!!!!!!!

So, MVP?
I'd go with Ichiro. If K Rod puked up the save the NL pulled it out, I'd go with Soriano, probably.

Does a Tahoe Hybrid get 10 MPG instead of 9?
by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 9:06 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
My buddy just bought a regular one last night
and it gets 15 MPG but does run on Ethanol which is 30 cents cheaper than Unleaded. No idea on the Hybrid but it can't be much better.

Sorry, Joe. I still like Ichiro.

he looked a little shocked when she said that
"what, did the contract I just signed fall through??"
by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 9:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
He did look shocked!
The ESPN article says it's just rumors, but it's been all over the place today.
I think his expression pretty much gave it up. He understood that part of it!

He had some great "quotes" in Jayson Stark's column this week.
