2010 All-Star Game

[Gwreck]

2 hits, a steal and a nice play at 3rd.

And Charlie Manuel takes him out of the game after 4.5 innings. Hey Charlie: YOU SUCK.

It's OK, relax. We've got OMAR INFUCKINGFANTE on the bench!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Is it really necessary to identify the lab guy in the Sharp commericals (George Takei) as an "actor portrayal?"

Is there any thought that there'd be confusion with an actual scientist? Even if there was, who the fuck cares.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

That's not good.

Triple play !

Kuo gets all Knoblauchian on the throw to first. Let's see what Jackie Robinson Rotunda Cano does here...

[Gwreck]

This is what happens when non-All Stars play in the game. The National League loses. Why don't we have Halladay in for 2 innings? What about Wainwright or Carpenter? Hong-Chih Kuo is NOT an all-star quality pitcher, his good half season be damned.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

WTF is Kuo doing in the game?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Maybe it's me but Hong-Chih Kuo looks a lot like golfer Anthony Kim.

Where's Halladay when you could actually use him?

Fuck me, have NL starters gone on strike or something?

When the genius running the team picks Howard over Votto, and then picks Howard over Votto to start...you've got problems.

And proceeds to take Halliday out of the game after 2 outs.

If the game is gonna be managed as a showcase, like this, they can't have it effecting the WS like it does.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe the thinking is, Capps is unfamiliar for someone like Papi?

I don't know. It happened to work. Goody.

EXACTLY!!!! When the bleeping home field advantage is on the line, getting some guy his first and possibly only All-Star experience is secondary. Win the damn game.

And stinking Charlie pulling Wright, who was kicking butt and taking names. And Marlon Byrd is manning centerfield? Hallady gets the hook for Matt Capps?

[Fman99]

Oh, it's the in-game-Jeter-bootlick. I'm throwing up in my mouth.

I get your general point.

But you're off about Kuo. He's been a 10 K/9 swingman in the Dodger pen for four years now, and has been VERY good against batters of any handedness-- and murder against lefties-- the whole time... over 232 innings.

Oh, and MA MAN McCANN!

Jose Bautista representing AL-Qaeda in RF.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Again. Stinking Chris Young and Marlon Byrd.

[Fman99]

Hot damn! McCann with the big knock, and McCarver with the big hyperbole.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

WoooooooooOOOO!

Surely they'll win now!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I knew once they got those embedded American Leaguers* out of the game the NL could take control. That's a L for Hughes as long as the NL avoids bringing Wagner into the game.

*-I'm of course referring to the Brewers, who personally f'ed up both David Wright fueled rallies.

Here's where you want them in, now. They're FAR better defenders than the guys they replaced.

[Gwreck]

Let's be thankful that Heath Bell has already been used and is out of the game.

I guess Broxton is the NL Closer tonight.

Phil of course has the ready made excuse.....
