OK so it's 3-3 in the 11th. I was putting my daughter to bed and completely missed what happened.  Are we going to have a tie again?

a dance-off to determine home field advantage?

That’s the one idea of Buck’s that I’ve actually liked. Can we get Zito and Chavvy to do their little postseason victory dance?

I was just looking at Carlos Quentin's wiki page...

After noticing his 900 OPS this season, and thought shucks, wouldn’t it have been nice if the A’s had drafted him.

Or if they had traded Christopher Carter for him, instead of receiving him for Haren. A’s got the wrong end of that? Hopefully patrol craft can eventually put up what Quentin is doing.

by RenoTy on Jul 15, 2008 9:22 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

How's he doing?

Is he in any of the minor league updates that have been done thus far?

by RenoTy on Jul 15, 2008 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hitting for incredible power in High A. 26 ish homers I think.

His average is coming around too – .260ish I think. Meant to be manning 3rd and one of the corners in the outfield too (though sadly not at the same time, he’s no Jeter).

by OldhamA on Jul 15, 2008 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just found a bunch about him by searching, actually.

Yeah, the bat’s a good sign, but people don’t seem to expect him to be able to play 3b.

Exact quote in today's paper

This is the sixth year of the World Series home-field advantage being determined by the All-Star Game winner. How do you feel it’s going?

I feel even better than I did when I first did it. There’s an intensity in this game that was missing. You had guys leaving by the fifth or sixth inning. But last year, when the National League rallied in the ninth inning I saw every player in the dugout, watching and cheering.

People say, “You ought to give the advantage to the team with the best record.” We can’t do that, for pragmatic reasons. We can’t wait that long to work on it.

and then drop the game winning popup in the bottom half.

The Price being paid.....

The truth is that the teams that are going to be paying the highest price for the All-Star game continuing into extra innings, are the ones that did not win the popularity contest. Which usually is small payroll teams.

by Sacpike on Jul 15, 2008 10:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

That is true and it sucks. Which is part of the reason I like my idea about letting guys back in if they have sat for 9 innings.

If you or your team doesn't want you to pitch you really should just be replaced by someone.

would really take some of the handling issues of other staffs off a managers plate.

Pitchers aren’t voted in they are manager selections iirc.

by Copenhagen on Jul 15, 2008 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well it's always hugely unlikely to go a gazillion innings, so I wouldn't want to deny

a guy the All-Star experience because he’s not available to pitch. They probably should have a contingency plan though.

Not saying not to be there but just have another warm body for the game.

I know then you’re looking at 50 man rosters but hell rather that then putting someone else’s guy in jeopardy
