Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

All-Star + Random Off-day Gameday Thread

Mrsnakepit_tiny by Jim McLennan on Comment 556 comments

The 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.

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?

by SongBird on Jul 15, 2008 2:31 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not sure it matters

The “starter” only goes 2 innings… 3 max.

I guess so since he threw 108 pitches on Sunday. Lincecum threw a similar amount (or more) on Sunday but is still available.

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.

by Jim McLennan on Jul 15, 2008 3:13 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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? :-)

by Jim McLennan on Jul 15, 2008 5:44 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

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…. ;-)

As French knights are getting cut down by English men-at-arms and bowmen at Agincourt, the English were simultaneously making their own ill-advised cavalry charge, as the light brigade gets destroyed in the Crimea.

speaking of nerdage...

:-)

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, it’s Band Geek.

Get it right.

Nah.

At Salpointe, it was definitely band “nerd”.

does Salpointe count for anything?

just about everything, actually.

No, I take that back. Our Wrestling team wasn’t very good. (No thanks to me)

It was awesome.

If it weren’t for a need to save money, the wife and I would be going to see it again this weekend.

good job Haren

not perfecto as Webb last year, but still good

I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...

by Muu on Jul 15, 2008 10:12 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Actually

Last year I don’t think Webb got to pitch at all. In 2006 he got out Jeter (strikeout), Ortiz (fly ball) and A-Rod (ground out),

Yeah, I think you're right

Last year he was the emergency guy.

I don’t think I like Haren going 2 innings today..

Hooray for scoring but I really didn’t want my A to be the one to get beat up…

Best quote from Derek Jeter's appearance on SNL:

Jeter, in drag, pretending to be a Yankee player’s wife: “Jeter? Jeter’s funny looking. He looks like the Rock mated with a Muppet.”

Not nice of the local newspaper to put a huge photo of him on the front of the sports page today. Hurts even more to see him an All-Star. Hopefully one (or more!) of our young guys is an All-Star some day.

I love how

Joe Nathan is “one of the most underrated closers in baseball”.

That’s why he’s at the All Star Game…. right?

And…. Nathan’s Famous takes down Hebrew National.

And why do we get to see him sing “God Bless America” and not see “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”, considering how tradition-heavy this whole broadcast has been?

Kinda cool

that Girardi, himself, is catching in the bullpen.

Much as I strongly dislike Joe Girardi.

I don't know how I knew,

but somehow, when Drew came up to bat, I was just thinking, “waaaalk him….. don’t give him ANYTHING to hit…..”
