Do yall think the American League will release Rodriguez if he blows this save?

 

[GAVol]

Ha, my prediction was right :dance2:

 

[GAVol]

As far as All Star games go . . . That was pretty good.

 

[getyopopcornready]

man the AL is loaded, they cant be stopped, i expect them to win the world series this year

Did Pujols not play?

 

[getyopopcornready]

The fans didnt vote him as a starter, Price Fielder had more votes than Pujols

 

[tidwell]

Thanks.

Did Pujols not play?

 

[GAVol]

Thanks.

Did Pujols not play?

According to the box score - no.

 

[tidwell]

That's what I thought after scanning it. Just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook.

Did they mention any reason why during the game? I lost interest around the 3rd inning...

Newsflash . . . Ichiro can fly.

Surprised nobody on here mentioned Ichiro's inside the park HR - first one ever in an All-Star game.

Standing up, no less.

I'm thinking that's what GA was referring to when he said Ichiro could fly...

It appears that Albert and Tony LaRussa are mad at each other.

Do you think visions of Ichiro just dance in my head or something? :crazy: I posed that right after his HR.

Sorry - I wasn't following along last night and didn't know if your post was about the HR or some stolen base or some defensive play. Bad timing on my part.

I guess, given our conversation on another thread about the greatest hitters right now, and debate about Ichiro, that I'm standing up for him - the fact that he had 3 hits, one of them an inside-the-park HR, and the fact that he was named MVP, are more than just saying he can fly.

That's all.

The AAA Allstar game is on ESPN2 right now.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

very high scoring game so far

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

How'd that AAA All Star game go?

 

[vols kick balls]

I have no idea. It sucked. Almost everyone in it are career AAA players.
