I like how the Gaylos fans are booing half of the players.

And I’ll guess it was the Dodgers fans booing the SF players.

Hello Red Sox fans, it's a strange feeling, but we're actually supporting the same team today

Also, this is why the Rays cannot claim equality with the Yankees or Red Sox just yet…

The fact that their players don’t get booed at the ASG show that they have not achieved the status of New York or Boston.

guess it won't be easy, but if a Red Sox player hits a winning home run I'll be happy

It benefits the AL pennant winner in the end, which could be the Yankees.

Likewise a Yankee could secure homefield for the Red Sox…

I don't like the idea of moving Youk to third very much.

Especially not in 2-3 years. Youk’s getting to reach the age that players start to move from third to first, not the other way around. Sure, I think he could probably provide averageish defense there, but I just don’t like the idea as much. I like Youk at first much better.

You kinda have a point with the utility player thing.

The problem is that he would take the place of someone deserving, but the manager wouldn’t feel obligated to play him.

This is exactly why the All Star game shouldn't count for anything.

The nature of the game, meaning managers try and get everyone in, the game is a lot of fun and a lot of fun to watch, but shouldn’t count.

Papi not being able to be pinch ran for is a perfect example of how try and play everyone style of fun play isn’t exactly ideal for a meaningful game.

As a Yankees Fan i don't know why Arod didn't hit for kinsler or sumthing

Arod prolly could have crushed one of Broxton’s Fastballs that were down the middle…oh yeah base running for the AL sucked bad, not just ortiz but also Mauer and Andrus

Why did Nick Swisher pinch hit for Wigginton, and not ARod?
Why didnt ARod play?
This is why Bard should of made instead of Phil Hughes

Eh

I can see how it would get annoying, but it’s less an assumption and more a matter of convenience. Our audience IS overwhelmingly male, and since there’s no easy way to tell from posts, and gender neutral pronouns are actually pretty stupid in most cases, it makes sense to go with “he” until corrected.

WHY DID PHIL HUGHES PITCH?!!!

Weaver is so far and away better…WOW…In LA no less?

I mean, forget that Liriano didn’t make the roster. I can accept the issues of ERA vs. FIP not really getting across…

But WEAVER?!!!

No, I mean just the RULES

You have ineligible pitchers taking up roster spaces…
The one player per team requirement
By custom as many people as possible have to play in the game?

And this decides the WORLD SERIES HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE?

David Stern and Gary Bettman would beg to differ...

I’m not even sure Selig is the worst commissioner in all of the four major sports right now. Actually it goes Roger Goodell who is by far and large the best of the commissioner and then Selig, Stern, and Bettman are all tied for the suckiest at last.

I feel sorry for Goodell

He’s got a bunch of criminals in his league.

And he still runs his league the best which amazes me!

It just goes to show how bad all these commissioners are!

by Mike-Dub on Jul 14, 2010 12:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's my only knock on Goodell

He’s too lenient on guys like Vick and Roethlisberger.

If I were in charge, anyone who was convicted of a felony or major misdemeanor would be banned from football. There is no reason to put criminals on national television. And it might make the Buresses of the world stop and think before bringing a loaded firearm into a nightclub under their damn sweatpants.

Stupidest rule ever!

All-Star winner deciding home field advantage… WTF! It should go to the team who has the best record in the WS and then head to head if they faced then down to runs scored (or another stat) and so on.

by Mike-Dub on Jul 14, 2010 12:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don't mind the 1 player per team rule that much.

there’s usually one good guy everywhere. But it could take away from somebody more deserving, and after all, “this one counts.”

If it must count, the

forget about the most deserving players and everybody getting a chance. They’d need to add a Wakefield type in case the game went extras, but even then it’s not realistic because of pitching changes.

I think the worst part is everyone getting to play

Lets be honest some guys are just better than others, do we really want Joe Buck batting in the 9th instead of Joe Mauer?

If “this one counts”, then you have to play it like it counts.

I think that's a perfect way to put it, "If this one counts then you have to play it like it counts"

To be honest as an AL team we havn’t been on the short end of this. However, it’s unfair to the team with the better record, you mine as well just pick home field with a coin toss because with the way the All Star game is played now it mine as well be a coin toss.

I think we all know its just a marketing gimmick to drum up interest/ratings in the game so they can make more money on it.

CC was ineligible, so was replaced by Weaver, also ineligible
