O/T - All Star game
So whats up? Some knucklehead decision to keep last Sunday's pitchers out of the All Star game ?!?!
The American League gets the bum deal with both Verlander and Felix out because they pitched last Sunday. Huge edge for the N.L. And... the fans loose also. I didn't realize this hairbrained rule and was relishing watching last years Cy Young winner, and this dude who has now pitched 2 no-hitters. Way big bummer. Not happy. At all ! |

Just another reason why an exhibition game shouldn't have an effect on the World Series.
And I'm an NL guy, Doug |

Best, coolest sporting event I ever went to was an all star game (1989). I could care less about the world series thing one way or the other.

First off, congrats to the NL. Now, here’s my rant. Douche bags like Brian Wilson and Prince Fielder are what’s wrong with baseball today. If Wilson wants to look like an Al Qaeda terrorist, he should be treated like one. If Fielder wants to cover his body in tattoos, put him in prison like the thug he is.
Please don’t give me this crap about them just expressing themselves or marching to the beat of their own drum. That’s BS! They have absolutely no respect for the game or the history of the game. You would have never seen Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Musial, etc with a mohawk and/or scraggly beard and tattoos all over their body. And what’s up with Wilson flashing gang signs after his save? I’ve got a hand sign for Wilson and I only have to use one finger. If you’re a Giants of Brewers fan, you should be ashamed of these two idiots. They should be removed them from the gene pool.

I do agree with Brian that if I'm pitching and some hip, homerun hitting dude styled his way around the bases after hitting one off me, he'd better enjoy it just that one time, and be real loose the next time he came to bat. He'd also better expect to hit the dirt, because he would definitely be going down! The hitter has every right to conduct his own celebration, and the pitcher the right and means to insist on being treated in a respectful manner. Oftentimes who wins these confrontations comes down to matchups. I never saw Bob Gibson, tough as he was, throw at Willie Horton, though the latter would dig quite a foothold in the batters box during the '68 World Series. Horton had fought in the golden glooves when he was just 15, and earlier in his career Earl Wilson(all 6'3'' and 220+ lbs of him), then with the Red Sox threw at him in an attempt to move him off the plate. Horton walked halfway out to the mound and told Wilson, "Man, you can be moved just like a mountain," meaning broken up into little pieces and carried off. Horton had no further trouble with Wilson after that. All the best, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 07-15-2011 at 01:15 AM. |

I was at the same game. When Bo hit the bomb off of Reuschel to lead off the game the place went crazy!

I too really liked the '89 All Star game
bbcard1 and dwr11, Yes, the 1989 All Star game was epic:
Bo Jackson, Bo Jackson, Bo Jackson. Lead off HR in first brought all fans off their seats.......then......."THE" throw - from the warning track all the way to the plate, on the fly, for a perfect strike to nab the runner at home, awesome, best throw I have ever seen! Also, yes, the Brian Wilson thing is already old - get real dude, loose the idiot look. The Angels young reliever did get clocked at 100 mph, gave up a hit though. And NL starter Halladay was quite impressive. |
