All-Stars: Prince batting 6th; Peavy starting

[Kpanz20]

Haha, did anyone see how empty the stands were in Florida? Wow, Marlin baseball is in serious trouble if they have that bad of attendence for a Sunday afternoon game in extra innings.

[Vgmastr]

Josh Willingham is my new favorite player.

[PeaveyFury]

And of course they start with the AL.... grrr.

[thablingster]

My thoughts exactly Peavey. Now watch them go to commercial before doing the NL.

[davemakovec]

Is this on the radio at all? I want to run to the store, and listen in my car, plus I don't have cable.

[thablingster]

Apparently the AL roster is being announced first, so this might take a while. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, don't do the NL starters next, lets jump to commercial then do the AL reserves. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Oldcity]

Ha... they're showing the AL reserves before the NL starters. And you know they'll have another commercial after the AL reserves.

[packfan79]

Might as well get the AL pitchers announced right away too. This is pretty ridiculous...

[PeaveyFury]

If they do the AL pitchers next, I'm going to scream. Especially since the full AL roster is on MLB.com.

Listening to Yost post game interview with reporters, I believed someone asked him about having 4 Brewers in the All-Star game. Yost said it was nice, etc... And it was nice having a couple veterans and a couple youngsters. So, assuming that the reporters got the word already, along with Yost, I'm going to assume Fielder and Hardy were the youngsters and that Cordero and Sheets were the veterans. Just a guess on my part.

 

Edit: A bit quick on the Fielder starting, I was looking at last week all-star voting. Sorry.

[packfan79]

Yeah peaveyfury I just saw that but it looks like they probably will. You would think they would do both teams starters first then go to the reserves but I guess that makes to much sense.

[jlau20]

Not going to lie, this is somewhat irritating that they're doing each league one at a time.

 

I guess it would be too confusing if they did AL starters then NL starters, etc...

 

I didn't catch all the rules...is it fans vote for the 8 starters, managers pick 8 position and 8 pitchers, players vote for 3 position and 4 pitchers and fans vote for the final spot?

[thablingster]

Rules were: fans vote 8 starters. Players vote 8 position players, 5 starters and 3 relievers. Manager fills in the holes and makes sure one player is picked from each team.

[Kpanz20]

I don't feel I'm exaggerating when I say Tony Gwynn has put on 100 + pounds since he first started in the bigs. He looks close to 3 bills right now.

[TerraceReserved]

Have they not shown the NL starters yet?

 

Edit: I see they're doing AL pitchers. Ugh this is dumb.

Edit #2: I wasn't watching TBS, but instead ESPN. I am dumb.

[thablingster]

Your starter at first base is Prince Fielder!

[packfan79]

hmmm... MLB gets Baroid into the game as a starter. Alright Prince!!!! And to make this show a bigger joke they are calling out Hank Aaron for not being there for when Bonds breaks the record.

[PeaveyFury]

Congrats to Hardy, Cordero, and Sheets!

[RyDogg66]

Wooo Hooo!

[True CryM]

I cannot believe Chris Young did not make the team. He'll most likely get out-voted by Zambrano, while having half the ERA.

[Oldcity]

I thought they'd get four in, though it's a crime that Hanley Ramirez and Chris Young did not make it.

 

Edit: Ha, Fuentes makes it. He's not even the closer for his team anymore.

[RyDogg66]

I would suspect the final NL vote will be:

 

Chris Young, Edgar Renteria, Hanley Ramirez, Brandon Webb, Todd Helton, maybe Soriano if he didnt make the team.

Kudos to Peavey for keeping the thread title updated so quickly and efficiently! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
