Is the first pitcher to throw three innings in an All-Star game, since Maddux in 1994.

birth of democracy

I don't believe that's true, either,

since the American Revolution came before the French Revolution, and the Constitution was ratified the same year as the Bourbons were overthrown.

It IS true that the American, French, and Polish Revolutions are often grouped together as all being part of one consistent liberal democratic movement, though.

The American one

is considered the rebirth of the “Republic” whereas the French were more of a “pure” democratic process. According to this little pink book that I despise.

So Francona is concerned for Kazmir. What about Webb?

by TwinnerA on Jul 16, 2008 1:23 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Among other things,

the Rockies are not locked in a tight division race with the Dbacks, the way the BoSox and Rays are. Also, Webb is older and more experienced than Kazmir and can probably handle the extra workload better than Kazmir can. Remember that Webb has pitched something like the most innings in the NL over the last 3 years.

he's a sinker baller. He should be able

to go a pretty decent amount. Kazmir throws as hard as he can every pitch. Webb should be able to hold out a bit longer

It's an exhibition game, so it's a distraction -- like the Somme,

but it’s become the main event, the way the Somme overtook Verdun. I feel like the NL has been the Germans so far, resisting the AL Entente which keeps throwing more and more guys into the meatgrinder…. loading the bases again and again, only to be cut down repeatedly by accurate fire by Martin and others.

That makes Bud Selig shift uncomfortably in his seat – particularly as a result of a jackass decision like “This time, it counts” – is alright by me.

the NL could have, and should have, gotten another inning out of Webb. He tossed a perfect frame on 13 pitches.

Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.

by DbacksSkins on Jul 16, 2008 12:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think there was plenty of uncomfortable shifting in seats last night- particularly since each manager had to run out a pitcher who pitched 100+ pitches two days earlier, and wasn’t supposed to pitch tonight- and in each case, said pitcher was the manager’s division rival’s ace.

And, since this time it counts, they couldn’t even let it end in a tie. Which means, according to this article, we were close to having someone like Evan Longoria and Nate McLouth as the pitchers of record. How stupid would that have been?
