They started the season on fire! Lately though... Damn...
BosSox about to get SWEPT! Go Rays!Go BoSoxs!
If he wasn't in NY nobody would care. I'm sure he is on the new clear. Lol.
I approve.EDIT: I wrote in Bryce Harper.
I also am Angels fan but live in DC so I watch the Nats all the time.I approve.
I'm an Angels fan, but considering I live in Virginia and the Nationals are always on tv I've grown emotionally attached to them and find myself rooting for them often. I'd say they're my NL Team.
I was called in for 12 myself. Not even 10 minutes into a 45 minute cardio session. Ah yes, real life.It looks like the Nats have been exciting to watch this year, too. I watched the Rays game yesterday while at work yesterday. I was called in for 16 hours. Too bad that wasn't today as they should be playing a double header.
Haven't. I was able to get tix for tw Nats v Yankees game, but had to come out here to the west coast. Gave the tix to a friend.I thought you might pop in for some Nats talk. Have you been to any of the Interleague games?
Yeah it's ruff to be a cubs fan sometimes....and the cubs are at all time new level of blowing.
this year I decided to be a wrigley field fan, not a cubs fan
My boy Prince is up in this beotch! Bout damn time my tigs showed their true colors!
Same with Posey in the NL. Should've been Ruiz first, then Yadi, then Posey. All about name recognition, sadly.Surprised Napoli got the the All Star nod this year.A lot of catchers having a much better season.
Posey's name in the hat was a joke. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.Same with Posey in the NL. Should've been Ruiz first, then Yadi, then Posey. All about name recognition, sadly.
Like I said, all name recognition. You've got a bunch of people who get voted in simply because people remember their names, or their young, etc. I crunched numbers on a lot of the players, this year, after all the whining that La Russa was snubbing Phillips and Cueto. Phillips probably should have made it, but that's the fault of the voters, not TLR. As for Cueto, his ERA is good, but his other stats weren't that impressive in relation to other guys.Posey's name in the hat was a joke. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.
People must feel bad cause he couldn't handle getting trucked over.
Agreed.Too many good players end up getting snubbed.Games getting ready to start.Time to kick back,relax and enjoy some baseball.Like I said, all name recognition.

But yeah, Posey should have never made it. They need a new way of voting players in than just the fans. Or at the very least, remove the ability to vote 25 times per e-mail address, which is just a joke to inflate numbers.
Was good to see the respect being displayed for Chipper.Not what I expected, but I'm certainly happy as I remember that awful stretch of all the NL losses.
No doubt. I've always loved Chipper.Was good to see the respect being displayed for Chipper.
No, I didn't. I wouldn't doubt it though. Why not give a HOFer who is ending his career a last come through in his last all star game. That game was put away anyway. It looked marginal anyway, not to many people would catch it unless they were intently familiar with Kinslers range.No doubt. I've always loved Chipper.
Did you see the post in an article on Grantland questioning whether Kinsler let the ball go through to the outfield on purpose? Kind of interesting lol.
Well that's the thing, I didn't notice it and wouldn't have thought about it at all, but then they mentioned Kinsler as being one of the most highly regarded second basemen. So then you watch the clip and you wonder lol. I'm not saying he's in the wrong if he did, it's just interesting, ya know?No, I didn't. I wouldn't doubt it though.

Yeah... I don't know about that after rewatching. It looks to me that he hussles over to it. It is an expedition game, so it looks like he went for it, but may have not turned on the afterburners as he would in a real game that counts for his teams season.Well that's the thing, I didn't notice it and wouldn't have thought about it at all, but then they mentioned Kinsler as being one of the most highly regarded second basemen.

The thing on Chipper is #1 at the very bottom.
