All Star Game Thread.

Two guys who are watching TV right now.   (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

The 81st annual All Star Game starts in a few moments. Im just throwing up a quick thread, since it's my job, "The Game Day Gang. They're touring the facility and picking up slack." Yeah, I'm part of that. Anyway, David Price takes on Ubaldo Jimenez. Enjoy all the MFY / PHN FOX lovin'. Ty Wigginton will probably get into this game at some point, I'm thinking he will ground out, feel free to disagree.

 

THIS ONE COUNTS.

National League:

  1. SS Hanley Ramirez, Marlins
  2. 2B Martin Prado, Braves
  3. 1B Albert Pujols, Cardinals
  4. DH Ryan Howard, Phillies

  6. LF Ryan Braun, Brewers
  7. CF Andre Ethier, Dodgers
  8. RF Corey Hart, Brewers
  9. C Yadier Molina, Cardinals

I somehow missed that Price was having THAT good of a year

I knew he was doing well, but for some reason i didnt think of him as deserving to start the all-star game. Obviously i was mistaken.

I honestly don’t care enough about the ASG to go out of my way to make a thread, let alone put in the lineups.

Also, I hate Joe Buck a lot.

McCarver is also bad, yes.

I can vaguely tolerate Buck in football season because I don’t have too much against Troy Aikman as a commentator. Buck/McCarver is simply intolerable. Buck’s gotta be the worst announcer who is continually forced down everyone’s throats.

I'd like to see him play.

Cal, Miggy, Flat Breezy, and AJ have all acquitted themselves rather well at the Yankee-Red Sox Alliance Classic while representing bad Orioles teams.

If Wiggy gets a hit, or Steinbrenner forbid, the game-winning RBI, maybe for one night the rest of the world doesn’t think the Orioles suck quite so much.

You've got a good point there.

i barely even consider him an Oriole

it’s less embarrassing if he doesn’t hit. markakis, however… wish he was there instead.

so nick swisher could pinch hit for him

nick swisher!

meh

guess i’m in the minority, but i’d rather the O’s have no reps than an unworthy hired scrub like wigginton, who hopefully will be traded for a prospect or two soon like sherrill.

i’m watching the all-star game to see all-stars. wigginton, no matter what they try to tell me, is not an all-star.

not sure swisher is, either, but he’s got wiggy beat.

hey, it worked for sherrill's trade value

I dont care much for the one per team rule either

but as long as its in place, I’d like to actually see our guy for more than 2 defensive plays where he’s not even involved.

i don't think girardi pinch-hits for markakis in that spot

cause, you know, he can actually hit right now. wiggy was an april all-star.

Ty Wigginton coulda won the game, what a disrespectful move not letting Ty hit, the Yankee Organization drops to yet another low on the day of the "Boss"’s death.

Serves y’all right!
