All-Star + Random Off-day Gameday Thread

PrintThe showcase event visits the House That Ruth Built for the final time, and we'll see if the National League can break the lengthy streak of American League victories and claim home advantage in the World Series. The game might be hard pushed to provide more startling a spectacle than Josh Hamilton's first-round performance in the Home Run Derby, which included 13 straight homers - more than anyone else managed with ten outs. It's funny to think he has gone through so many organizations - for well-documented reasons - and is now hearing the crowd chant his name at Yankee Stadium.
Other potential topics to discuss for the rest of the day:
How we feel about the ex-Dbacks playing in the game
Are you going to see The Dark Knight this weekend
USA Today lists its veterans they want to see in one more AS Game, including the Big Unit. Anyone you'd add to the list?
Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman Break-Up. Is it because of Matt Damon? [Link NSFW]
Or, of course, anything else!

This is the NL's year
We have the better pitching staff and we have the better roster. That it will happen in Yankee Stadium will make it that much better.
Fire Bob Melvin. Fire A.J. Hinch. Eric Byrnes Sucks.
Of course I'm seeing The Dark Knight
I’m a comic book fan.
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

Why is the NL starting Ben Sheets?
This seems an odd choice considering the calibre of the other pitchers. Are Lincecum and Volquez unavailable to start?
Not sure it matters
The “starter” only goes 2 innings… 3 max.

And Webb is going to miss the game entirely?

is it beyond all optimism that the dbacks will make it to the playoffs this year?
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The first is never get involved in a land war in Asia. The second, only slightly less well known, is this: never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha --
Hell, no.
We are in first place – I really don’t see anyone else bar the Dodgers in the division as a threat, and they are hardly an offensive whirlwind, and the loss of Furcal is a significant loss. It really comes down to how productive our hitters are in the second-half, and that has lately showed signs of some life. I’d be a lot happier if Upton and Young started to hit again though.

its just that we seem to have gone on a downhill slope in the standings pretty steadily… remember when we were 6.5 games up?
ive got my fingers crossed that the break will do us some good

Oh, no doubt
We can’t continue to play the way we did. However, the schedule is in our favor in the second-half, with less games against tough teams. Basically, how we do against the rest of the West over the remaining 67 games will likely decide our fate. The first two series back, against the Dodgers and Cubs, will be a particularly interesting test.

hey...
I don’t know about you, but my life only sucks sometimes. And not enough that I feel like following the Spears family follies. Or Branjelina…although, they do have adorable children.
For example, I woke up this morning at 9:45 for a 10:00 coffee date. That’s what I get for falling asleep at 5:45 am, I suppose. Speaking of…I think I’m gonna go take a nap. That sounds quite pleasant right now. :-)

Actually, it is.
Except for the lack of cash flow. That sucks.
So, I think this game is somewhere on the East Coast, and I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that this time it counts. What it counts for, I'm still not sure. Also, there are some pretty good players in this one. Some of the best, I think.

See also soap operas. Celebrity lives are so much more glamorous and interesting than ours. They don’t have to work! They just go to parties! They are attractive and do not get skin problems!
Alternatively, there’s the schadenfreude of watching a celebrity self-destruct – see Britney for details. But generally, other people’s lives are always a topic of interest and discussion: always have been. Or don’t you remember high-school? :-)

Remember high school?
I just graduated. Somehow, I managed to stay somewhat sane, and definitely less crazy than my friends. None of us were “popular” or whatever, so that probably helped…big group of misfits, and every single one of us were musicians. I just don’t understand the obsession with other people’s lives…Seems like most people have their own problems that they could be worrying about.

I couldn't give two shits about celebrity relationships, honestly.
And I’m so sick of hearing about “Branjelina”.... UGH…. it’s ALMOST as annoying as when J.Lo and B.Aff were engaged.
The only reason I care about Sarah Silverman being single is that I think she’s probably one of the 5 or so women in Hollywood with whom I could stand to be on a date with for more than about 10 minutes.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
well,
good luck getting that 10 minute date…

No. See,
the point of getting excited about her being single is the fact that I think I could go on a date with her for more than 10 minutes. It wouldn’t be like talking to a brick wall, like… say, Tara Reid.
OTOH, whether she could stand me for more than 10 minutes is debatable…. ;-)
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Well...
the chances of you getting any date with her are miniscule.
Just sayin’.

I’m not interested in celebrities, but it’s shoved in my face constantly. I really don’t care about Brad and Angelina; but they are in the newspapers, on the news, on any “news” website. I don’t read the gossip mags, or the gossip websites; but I know a lot more about Paris, Brit-Brit, and so on than I want to. I know that there are people who have an interest in celebrities, but I don’t know why coverage of such has to be so all-encompassing.

Since June 20. An MRI that showed he had shoulder inflammation and fatigue in his throwing arm. However, he seems to be getting better: per here, Scherzer will “throw two or three bullpen sessions before returning from the DL after the All-Star break.”

What happens if the game ends tied? Who gets World Series advangtage? So far, neither side looks like scoring. Do you think they have a plan?
This is Bud Selig's MLB we're talkin about here.

the AL
is looking to hit against the NL bullpen…
I think this game will be decided after the starters depart… and the AL bullpen is wayyy better
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...
By bullpen

Your mom crying is just about the hardest part of going off to college.

I don't think my mom cried

By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
When my mom took my sister and me down to UofA about a hundred years ago and moved us into the dorm, we were the ones that cried because my she would be living all alone for the first time in her life. She and my dad had recently divorced and we were the last of 6 kids to move out. Needless to say, the next thing I knew she was dating a man who drove a Rolls Royce! He didn’t last but her next boyfried was a keeper and they’ve been married now for 27 years!!

Really, it’s hard for me to think of MLB as doing anything other than just straight up grubbing for as much money as they can when they sell All Star jerseys, but the players just wear their team’s jersey anyway.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
It feels like the worst grubbers
of money, though, are the various international football leagues. The teams change their kits completely every two years, and have all kind of variants now for various competitions.

Yeah,
I’m a fan of that practice too.
When I was on the crew team, the losing boat(s) would always give their jerseys to the rowers and cox of the winning boat.
In fact, it’s a pretty old tradition—in 1936, the University of Washington crew team won the IRAs (collegiate national championship) and represented the US in the Berlin Olympics, winning the gold medal. UW still has the jerseys of the Nazi boat on display.

Actually,
they recruited me to walk on because my physique and personality are perfect for the role.
It’s not a question of “not being strong enough to row”. It’s a question of being small, compact, light, and extremely competitive.
If I had been interested in rowing, I could have joined the lightweight team. Instead, I joined the heavyweights as a cox.

Originally a Foxtrot joke
Though I agree with the Lord of the Rings rant, I liked it better in his Evening with Kevin Smith 2 DVD.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Guesses on how long they’ll let this go on? What with it counts and all?
It's like living with a six-year old.
I'd say they give it to the
end of the 13th

That's what I was thining
Instead of penalty shots, each team picks three pitchers that have three pitches to hit a home run.
The team’s catcher throws the pitches.

Doesn't
the AL have a curfew?

So,
does Cook pitch another inning, or do they bring in Webby?

I don't know if I want Clint Hurdle

Dan Uggla
is like the anti-Chris Snyder.
Snydes has balls of steel, Uggla just sucks balls.

I really find
those Baby Ruth “Take me out to the ballgame” commercials annoying.

Am I missing anything?
Gameday froze at the end of the 11th.
12:40 in New York now. Ha-ha-ha! East Coasters… :-)
the AL(and umpires) are doing their best
to give us the game and we just refuse to take it

Nice start to the inning, Cook
Lead-off double for the AL.
Do we have anyone else who can pitch?

Apparently
Clint Hurdle isn’t much better at pitcher management than Bob Melvin.

WTF is Cook doing in there for his 3rd inning??

+100
Especially since he keeps getting into trouble. But he keeps working out of it, I guess.

He looks like a younger, slimmer, whiter, less hispanic Livan Hernandez

that's why
our entire division is under .500…
So, I think this game is somewhere on the East Coast, and I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that this time it counts. What it counts for, I'm still not sure. Also, there are some pretty good players in this one. Some of the best, I think.

soco says
“Maybe because there is no one left to pitch so they kind of HAVE to let Cook pitch. Especially because the AL only has one pitcher left and they are using them. They are going to blink first if anything.”
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
