7/15/08 2008 MLB All-Star Game: 7:05 CDT

I believe the manager of the team picks the managers that come along with him.

[Team Canada]

Poor Uggla. That one wasn't his fault.

[Vgmastr]

Yeah, the managers just pick who they want. I remember a few years ago La Russa picked Yost.

[Samurai Bucky]

The grounds crew union was only contracted for 12 innings, I guess.

[pitchleague]

Uggla, strikes again. Is that an AS Game record?

 

I'll bet Bud has been nervous for a good hour at least. If he's even awake. I know I haven't heard Bob Shepperd (Yankee PA guy) in quite a while. He probably went home to bed.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'd love to see about 45 pitches here by Marmol.

[brewers19]

This damn game won't end.

[bucks2281]

I really want a tie. The American League needs to run out of pitchers. They probably have two, maybe three innings left.

[Vgmastr]

You've gotta be kidding me, I thought that was gone for sure.

[Diskono]

Something tells me this George Sherrill guy is going to have an ERA over 6 by the end of the season.

 

CLOSERS WHO FLAME OUT

you know what this thread needs?

You won't have to worry about the fans revolting if it's a tie. There won't be anyone left. The stadium is maybe half full right now?

[Samurai Bucky]

Will McCann get a chance to play?

[bucks2281]

How would MLB decide who gets the homefield advantage? Would they give it to the NL because the AL ran out of pitchers? Or to the AL because they won more interleague games?

 

If this happened, it would a dream for ESPN. That story and the Favre story would be great entertainment.

[rluzinski]

YAAAWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNN!

 

Would they give it to the NL because the AL ran out of pitchers?

 

The AL would be forfeiting, so yes.

[Vgmastr]

I have to be to work at 7, I just want this game to end so I can go to bed.

[Schlitz001]

Hey, remember yesterday when Ben Sheets was pitching in the All-Star game. Good times.

[pitchleague]

How about they just replay the game tomorrow! Or play a second all-star game later this season or push the playoffs back a few days to get it in.

 

I'm glad they're still playing though.

[Samurai Bucky]

Time for redemption, Uggla...

[Team Canada]

Good grief Uggla's having an awful game.

[bucks2281]

The crowd is razzing Dan Uggla. Seems like they're reveling in his struggles.

 

Think Bud's making his way down to the dugout area?

[Samurai Bucky]

Gonzo just needs to hit a dinger...

[Vgmastr]

C'mon Guzman, get on base and Corey gets another AB.

[Team Canada]

Heck, let's see some position players pitching and the pitcher shagging fly balls!

[pitchleague]

I gotta think this has to be it. Kazmir likely won't go another inning. I wouldn't think.
