McNeil in left. Can't remember the last time there were two Mets in the All-Star Game at the same time.

Squirrel is the tying run

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'll take that

[Guest 41Forever]

Pete!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mr Hand is struggling here

[Guest 41Forever]

Ugh. That was the chance.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Guys I hardly ever heard of playing tonight:



Beiber

McCann the other catcher

[Guest 41Forever]

Well, crap.



But our guys certainly didn't embarrass themselves.

[G-Fafif]

HR Derby rocked.

[Fman99]

Watched none of this game. Glad that Petey and Jakey acquitted themselves well, at least. Now let's wait 2 1/2 more days before a baseball game, because that'd be super fun.

[seawolf17]

Close enough.

Eh, anyone can make a mistake.

Besides, all them skinny-faced white boys look alike anyway.

Not only did they mess up McNeil but it was a bad night for the scoreboard operators

Should have let the NYM scoreboard operators handle things.

Sure some of the players might have been listed as dead, but at least they'd have the right pictures and be on the right teams.

(at least we think they would have)

Btw our stupid hometown newspaper, who does this at least once a day, identified a Yankee hitting a HR in a game against Boston as Pete Alonso

[Centerfield]

Ryu started? I wonder if this was a big deal in South Korea.



I'm such a bad Korean.

I assumed it was Brain McCann and was surprised when he took his helmet off and it was not him

[Guest 41Forever]

Pete was the first rookie to have multiple RBI in an All-Star Game.

[Edgy MD]

Ever?



I realize All-Star rosters used to be harder for rookies to crack, but that doesn't sound right.

I thought it was a little odd, too. One of the reporters asked Alonso if he was aware he was the first to do that. So maybe take that one with a grain of salt.
