STL FANATIC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just a thought to consider.The NL won the All-Star Game in 1951, 1965, 1981, 1984, and 1994. Tonight's game is being played under similar circumstances.Not sure how '65 fits in there...Will filled me in on this last night.The Cardinals manager Johnny Keane resigned after the '64 WS. The Yankees fired Yoga Berra after losing it (and hired Keane).With the odd shakeup, MLB went with the second place managers, which included the Phillies Gene Mauch.

GottaDeal Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Can't wait until this game is over so we can stop hearing how St. Louis is a great baseball town, blah blah blah. It's just laughable. Flyover country, plain and simple.Gotta love Obama wearing the Sox jacket though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I predict a national league victory this year. Why? Because Dan Uggla didn't make the team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Game over, it's 2-0 AL already and I don't see Halladay allowing anything.Plus their defense is actually playing All-Star defense and not the Dan Uggla-style that us NL fans may have to get used to seeing.

STL FANATIC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 NL should have turned 3 DPs in the first. Sadly one of those was the fault of Albert.Then Ramirez and Pujols rip a couple balls but the AL defense was up to the task.

rams80 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Or Halladay could give up 1 and have an error give up another right here.And now Yadie scores!

Sport Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Roy Halladay is not going to go 7 or 8 in the All-Star game. Somebody's said this every year since they made the game count for something. Joe Maddon is a kook, but he doesn't care that much.doesn't matter anyway because the NL now holds the lead.Never Know, Manuel might ride Ryan Franklin and use him for 7 or 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Roy Halladay is not going to go 7 or 8 in the All-Star game. Somebody's said this every year since they made the game count for something. Joe Maddon is a kook, but he doesn't care that much.You're looking at it the wrong way. By leaving Halladay on for 7-8 innings, he can really mess up the Jays chances of contending.

(j/k)I would applaud a manager that did that, but I choose to see it as more hilarious proof that Will Morris knows nothing of what he speaks. He says he doesn't see Halladay allowing anything, and three minutes later there's a three spot on the board.let's go NL!I'm going to add that during last year's game the continous discussion was one of my favorite moments as a board member. Hopefully this game turns out as good as last year's so we can have the same thing. It was chat-room like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I know people hate the DH and all, but there is no way pitchers should be making plate appearances in the ASG.I guess that wasn't such a stupid comment after all...
