The AL lineup is exactly what i'd have done as manager. if i were LaRussa I'd have hit Beltran 2nd, Griffey 3rd, and Bonds 4th and Utley ahead of Martin.

[seawolf17]

I like Bonds second, because it forces Haren to throw him big, fat meaty fastballs with Jose Reyes dancing off first base.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Beltran will be the All-Star MVP (or corporate potg) and it will catipult him
into an insane second half starting off with a huge welcome home on Thurs
when he goes 4-5 and goes all Alfon(Z)o on the Reds.

Hey, it's an off day ... I wanted to type something to keep up The Rogers.

[metirish]

They found a way to ruin a sit down with Willie Mays....

[metirish]

The swing for a million is total humiliation.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Pinstripes!

I can't remember the last time the Mets wore the pinstripes in the All-Star game!

Sweet!

[seawolf17]

"Chase Utley? Why would I do that?"

I love the blue hat/pinstripes combo. Whoever made that decision gets a raise.

Fox probably wanted just Jeter and Mays, and Mays, a former Met, no doubt refused, so they brought in Junior to balance out the evil.

[seawolf17]

Dammit, you're telling me nobody had the chance to teach Chris Isaak the words to the national anthem before they sent him out there?

The hands over the hearts was a nice touch.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Yes, on such a perilous night ...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

mays to Reyes!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

The whole thing with Mays was nice, I'm such a mush mush for that stuff.

[seawolf17]

Me: "I wonder how they chose Reyes to catch the first pitch."
Ms Wolf: "He won the raffle."

[Guest Kid Carsey]

For some reason I think Mays is a Reyes fan of sorts and branded him some
time ago as a can't miss superstar in some interview.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Reyes needed that image booster. I'm sure David Wright recommended he do it.

that was fucking disgraceful. not knowing the words to the national anthem and agreeing to sing it infront of a national audience anyway should be a crime.

ichiro leads it off with a single past the diving utley!

[nymr83]

a beautiful 1-2 sinker from peavy to jeter. i say he swung. ring him up ump!

Most Valuable Prick grounds into a double play!

[seawolf17]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee grounds into the DP. Suck it, Jeter.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

That was more fun for Jose than catching the ball from Mays -- except jeter wouldn't autograph that ball for him.

[seawolf17]

I think Tim McCarver actually shed a tear when Jeet GIDPed there. You could hear his voice crack, like his hero was just discovered in bed with a stripper.

[nymr83]

Ortiz hits into the shift.... and Utley throws one about 6 inches off the ground that Fielder can't handle.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yay Mets!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

ny: >>>disgraceful. not knowing the words to the national anthem and agreeing to sing it<<<

Could be nerves too, ya know ... like a string of polahponies!

[seawolf17]

And the Mets... set the Yankees down in the first.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wright!

Mets are killing the Yankees -- as it should be!

BAD ASS!

[Guest Iubitul]

Maye it's just me, but those plays in the field sparkled a little more with the blue hat/pinstripe combo.
