EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 I figured I would get an official discussion thread going. Tonight is the night the baseball world basks in Bobby Abreu's reflective greatness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 7/10 AL starters are from the AL East. Only Teixeria, Vlad and Buehrle are from different divisions. I'll be watching, I guess. I like that there are 22 players who have never been here before, it gives the game a different look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take 20 drinks: Everytime Tim McCarver mentions Derek Jeter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 I'm going to write about this in the blog later, but I'll pose the question now. Does anyone think the All-Star game would be better served by reducing the number of players on each roster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Yes. I think 1 starter and 1 backup each position (5 pitchers) is enough. It gives off the real "All star" feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
