Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Open Game Thread: All Star Game 2008 (cont.)

Yes, 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.

he’d have hit a walk-off infield single long ago.

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.

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.”

by lerei on Jul 15, 2008 10:42 PM PDT reply actions  

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.”
