7-13-12004: All-Star Game

[endaround]

Ted Lilly---ALL STAR!!!!

[cirillo26]

Hopefully McKeon will make a double switch and put Helton in for Thome so Sheets can go 2 innings.

 

But, I suppose Schmidt needs to get in too

[jwaltz]

Jack just doesn't have what it takes to manage an All-Star game. He does know that this time it counts, doesn't he? At least Sheets is next. Amazing the MLB ERA leader only gets one inning.

[jwaltz]

Schmidt probably won't get in. If he does, it might only be for one batter. Anything more would too risky.

[brewers19]

Glavine? What the heck is this?!

[AJAY]

Glavine?

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[thebruce44]

Glavine? Maybe Sheets and Kolb switched spots.

[Duff Man21]

Tom Glavine sucks.

[jwaltz]

What?!? No Sheets?!?! I understand why Glavine has to be in but so does Sheets. I can't believe Pavano was in before Ben or Glavine.

 

And Yanni still sucks. He blows goats.

[cirillo26]

What a disappointment.

 

They show him warmingup, and don't use him.

 

That sucks!!

[cirillo26]

Why did Pavano go 2?

 

Oh yeah, he's McKeon's guy.

[thebruce44]

Who is still left to pitch? We have to assume that Gange gets the 9th, so does Sheets get the 8th? Or maybe even one pitcher?

[jwaltz]

If McKeon wants to win he will insert Helton for Thome. Doesn't Rueben Studdard remind you of Mo Vaughn a little bit?

[tomwopat]

benitez will get the 8th, duh.

[jwaltz]

McKeon sucks. McKeon blows goats.

[cirillo26]

They should have 6 pitchers left.

 

I would also assume Gagne in the ninth. I forgot Schimdt just pitched recently

[jwaltz]

I would assume McKeon doesn't assume Schmidt is available unless in an emergency since Felipe Alou seems determined to pitch Schmidt untill his arm falls off.

[cirillo26]

Graves ius left too

 

I'd doubt if Livan would come in now

Oh yeah, he's McKeon's guy.

It's McKeon's team that gets to suffer any consequence of Pavano pitching an extra inning.

[jwaltz]

It's McKeon's team that gets to suffer his poor managing.

[cirillo26]

Maybe the NL can tie it up!

 

Sheets will have to come in, go about 6 inning - with no run support, of course, and then, well... hope for the best.

[jwaltz]

If he comes in and goes 6 innings without run support he would be right at home.

[cirillo26]

So you can count on Benitez coming in.

 

Maybe he'll pitch the 9th, after all, he is McKeon's closer.

Maybe Gagne won't play.

[tomwopat]

SHEETS IN!!!!

[brewers19]

Is that a fact or wish?
