Dobbs 3K Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Supposedly Ben Sheets is going to get the start for the NL in the All Star Game. Not sure about the American League.
jimmy no nose Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 This year is probably the first in about 10 that I'm looking forward to tonight's Home Run Derby. I may even watch the entire thing. Longoria, Utley, Uggla, Hamilton, Braun, and Sizemore are all in it for the first time and I think Morneau only did it last year. For whatever reason this just feels like the most exciting group they've put together in a while.
Mik Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Gooooo Dan Uggla. People need to be giving him more love. And I'm a little surprised that David Price isn't #1 on that list of prospects.
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 So, I was reading this article over at Page 2, and holy crap, did the Phillies just pick up & relocate to Chicago for the 1984 season? Ex-Phillies on the '84 Cubs included: Keith Moreland Larry Bowa Gary Matthews Bob Dernier Dickie Noles Dick Ruthven Warren Brusstar Porfi Altamirano (had to look that up) And, of course, Ryne Sandberg. Must have been the Dallas Green influence. Still, it was just weird reading that piece and saying to myself "ex-Phillie, ex-Philles, ex-Phillie..."
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Baseball America midseason Top 25 14. Austin Jackson, of, 21, Yankees (AA) I knew AJax was the highest position player prospect in the system, but I wasn't aware that he was this highly touted. Anyway, I am syched for the HRD and the ASG. I haven't watched either one since 2003.

Have you ever used the late great Mike Royko's Ex-Cub Factor to determine if a team will choke due to too many Cub alumni?
devo Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 I'd like to mention here that I'm completely fucking sick of hearing about how great a story Josh Hamilton is. What about beating addiction makes someone better than a person who avoids it altogether?
Zetterberg is God Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Chase Utley is the man. Comes out to boos (?), mutters "Boo? Fuck you" on national television. Priceless.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Chase Utley is the man. Comes out to boos (?), mutters "Boo? Fuck you" on national television. Priceless Too bad I missed that.
mike546 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Did anyone see that MLB channel commercial? Have I been out of the loop because that's the first I've heard of it, and it could end up being SICK.

KingPK Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 This Derby kinda sucks because there's no bodies of water or large walls for them to hit over. You can see blasts to the RF deck so many times before it gets old, though Berkman is making the best of it right now. Somebody's got to hit that Utz potato chip ad.
Guest Smues Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Berman is calling it? Well that makes the decision not to watch it easy. Back back back gets old fast.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 They can't hit the balls into the new stadium, right? They should had the HR Derby at Shea Stadium.
KingPK Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Smacking them into the black seats in center would be impressive, but that's the deepest part of the park and nobody is going to try that when they can pull it to either side.
jimmy no nose Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 I'm sure in context it didn't seem much different, but I just walked into the room and immediately heard "...no disrespect, but there's eight white guys here." I'm not really sure what the point he was trying to make was, but it was pretty funny just coming into the room.
mike546 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 holy shit I've never seen a ball go there before!
KingPK Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) This is like The Bigs. I'm just waiting for him to blast one into the video wall. And he just signed an autograph mid-round. Edited July 15, 2008 by KingPK

What about beating addiction makes someone better than a person who avoids it altogether? It doesn't make anyone better than anyone, but it is an admirable feat and especially to come back this season the way that Hamilton has to being an all-star. What's so wrong about that?

KingPK Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) He might as well bunt 10 times in the 2nd round. That or just take Erin Andrews in the Yankee clubhouse for a half hour. Edited July 15, 2008 by KingPK
cr7 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Was wondering how many words he'd say before he thanked god.
