PrintYes, it's still going. 14th inning. Still 3-3.
To think it could've easily been over many times already if Dioner Navarro would've dumped that piano from his back.

If Kaz goes too long does that make him start Saturday or Sunday
thus, missing our series?

pussy pitchers...
the last 15 inning ASG was probably a complete game by the starter.

Selig should come in and pitch for both leagues.
Whoever gets more runs off of Selig deserves the win.

remember when Mark Grace came in to pitch?
that is what we need here. Bring in a position player from the field little league style to pitch

Yes!
Just pull a friggin’ outfielder and make it harder on the defense at the same time!
Err, that wasn't meant to be sarcastic...
They should really do this.
rule is pitcher maxes at 3 innings, so after the 17th it'll get interesting

Seems like the All Star game has brought the Yankees and Red Sox closer.

New rule- let guys throw more innings early in the game
and don’t worry about putting everyone in the game.

The way they do it now is fine...
No reason to manage for a 15+ inning game. And any team would be pissed to have their pitcher go more than 2 innings.
The A's colors are green and gold.
I hear ya but it's happened twice now. No need to repeat history
even one more time. Hell…expand the rosters then.

Ugh...A pitcher pitching on short rest...
Is a lot more dangerous than just having an outfielder throw light fastballs for a zillion innings. One of them is going to get crushed too.
Ugh-la?

My guess is that the result of this
will be that the All-Star Break will be extended to 4 days (which 22 of the 30 teams have anyway this year) and that the All-Star Game will be played on the third day, Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. Thus ensuring that all pitchers will have had at least two days off before the game.
They’re probably committed to hotel arrangements for 2009 already, but it could most likely be managed by 2010.
Only in case of injury -- but, yes.

No kidding.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
Possible rule change?
Free substitution after the 10th inning?

That throw was pretty far off line.

It was a little on the 1st base side
but morneau was slow enough that waiting another bounce probably would have him beat and require less of a reach with the tag
poor little Uggla

AL also wins its first extra inning game
now 1-9-1 in extras
Uggla's temporary wiki page said
“Uggla attended the University of Memphis. He is married to Tara, and they have two children: a son, Jackson (born 2006-03-30), and a daughter (born 2008-06-05). Dan appeared in his first All-Star game in 2008(Yankee Stadium). He committed two back to back errors in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 2008 All Star game, losing the game, ruining his career, and destroying the dreams of his father.”
That is hilarious
“Uggla also committed two consecutive errors on playable balls in the 10th inning that appeared to end the National League’s hopes of victory, but the errors did not result in a run. He committed a third error in the bottom of the 13th, earning him the record for most errors in an All Star Game. In his three at bats, he struck out twice and hit into a double play. He vomitted in the dugout during the 15th inning after striking out again.”
Maybe he needs
to eat more of these.

If Luton were the AL in the past twelve all-star games,
they’d have a chance at staving off relegation next season!
(Sorry, had to. Noone will get it either.)
"The hard... is what makes it great."
What with their crazy 30 point deduction and all. I'm not sure why they don't
just shut up shop for a year and save on wages.
hire conference-level players, and part-time it.
i completely agree.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
"When we come back..."
(after even more commercials) “we will present the MVP award to the most valuable player of this All-Star game.” Funny, I thought the MVP award went to the least valuable player…
I still don’t get why they give the MVP a car. I think they can afford their own car. They should donate it to a charity or give it away to a fan or something.
I think they should give the MVP...
a million dollars. Think about the incentive to excell. I mean the winner of the World Series of Poker won $8.25 million last year.
A small price to play to motivate our All Stars.

The buy in is north of $10K though
$8.25M is a fairly small portion of the buy-ins. I’ve heard they’re considering making the buy in a lot bigger to discourage the thousands of amateurs who descend on it every year these days.
Andddd there's no one left at Yankee Stadium.
