Guest baseball bobblehead Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 this allstar game is simply not capturing my attention. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Wow, Fox managed to turn a profile of one of the games greatest young stars into a commercial for one of their shows. Amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Roberto Clemente is not just one of my all time favorite baseball players, but one of my all time favorite people.......that all really choked me up.  Here's to you Roberto - an angel on earth and in heaven  Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Roberto Clemente is not just one of my all time favorite baseball players, but one of my all time favorite people.......that all really choked me up.  Here's to you Roberto - an angel on earth and in heaven   I was lucky enough to have seen him play. He was simply the best right fielder ever. No one, and I mean no one, would try to score on a routine fly ball, or take an extra base on him as he would easily throw you out.

MrRain422 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 oh man, that footage of Bronson Arroyo singing Oasis was PAINFUL.......PAINFUL I TELL YOU! I signed in here specifically to comment on that, but I see you beat me to it. Wow. That might have been one of the funniest things I've ever seen. That jazz saxophone from the street musician was the icing on the cake. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) I actually stumbled on that clip accidentally. I was trying to find the clip during last night's Homerun Derby, where Harold Reynolds, upon being informed by David Ortiz that it is Ortiz's son's birthday, tells the little boy "Feliz Navidad" (Merry Christmas). Didn't find it, but ended up finding that instead. It's pretty unbelievable. His initial leadoff is one of the biggest I've ever seen, and he was almost all the way home before Johnson had even lifted his leg all the way up. Unbelievable. I'm glad that didn't happen when Johnson was on the Tigers. How embarrassing for him. Edited July 12, 2006 by MrRain422 Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 1. Fuck Trevor Hoffman.2. Fuck Bud Selig. I'm just glad that Hoffman did that in the All Star game instead of in a game that counts. He's on my fantasy team. and to all you haters......yeah, Paul Konkero sucks...... :bah I'll give him his due. That was a key hit. But that doesn't mean that Travis Hafner wasn't more deserving of the roster spot. Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 does that Chevy guy only know how to talk in ad slogans? p.s.....I HATE TRAVIS HAFNER, NEANDERTHAL SUPREME p.p.s......did she just call that guy Mr. Peepers? Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 By the way, since I haven't seen it mentioned here yet...on PTI earlier today, they were talking about how it is now very likely that Barry Bonds is going to be indicted. Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 My favorite play of the game was Vernon Wells' put-out.  Did anyone else think the runners were dogging it on a lot of those groundball double plays? I know it's an exhibition and all (and thus exciting things like running at strange times are acceptable), but dogging it doesn't really add to the excitement of the game. Also, Konerko seems to get a lot of his hits off of aces and closers (Steve Stone has mentioned this...I'd guess it's because he's a fastball hitter). I think that's why he seems to do well in all-star games. I don't know his career avg for such things, but this isn't his first 2-2 game. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Man, the good guys lost again. Garner is a fool. He is hated by all Marlin fans now. And most Braves fans. And probably a couple of cardinals fans. How can you have 4 guys not even touch the field? Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I looked it up. Konerko is 4-5 in all-star games, with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs. Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Garner is a fool. He is hated by all Marlin fans now. And most Braves fans. And probably a couple of cardinals fans. How can you have 4 guys not even touch the field?I think that's the way it should be. The prevailing mentality that everyone on the roster should play is pretty ridiculous. This isn't AYSO.
