GO NATIONAL LEAGUE ! (All Star game thread)

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Should be a fun game. I know people say the game doesn't matter. But with the National League losing so many in a row, I think the meaning is back with the fans. It is fun. Go NL !

[Comparative Advantage]

Didn’t the NL win this game back in the 90s sometime?

[Pharmboy]

Are they EVER going to start this game??? What BS...feelgood crapola...

[johnthebaptistmoore]

It’s more fun than World Cup soccer, IMHO, even though I love soccer, too. And, win another one, American League! :)

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

sometime back in the last century there

[Pharmboy]

Yeah...the AL has done well in this contest...the league where the pitchers don’t bat...HAHAHAHAHA!

[Col Frank Slade]

These opening ceremonies are way too long.

[TornadoAlley3]

Red Sox fan here, go AL.

[advertising guy]

D Backs fan here.......go N.L.

[Pharmboy]

I won’t last past the 4th inning...sheesh...this is unwatchable scheiss. Now we’ve got cute kids on screen...AIEEEEEEEE...

[Pharmboy]

Mets fan here...GO NL!!

[TornadoAlley3]

Who did Obama pick? :)

[OrangeHoof]

Dang. That’s almost an hour of pre-game before the first pitch.

[buccaneer81]

Who did Obama pick? :)

Kenya, by a goal...

[angcat]

GO YANKEES!

[advertising guy]

Owammy picked the tar balls in a walk off in the 9th

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvanians by a 2-1 margin favor Arizona’s immigration law, reflecting sentiment in national polls, an official with Quinnipiac University’s polling institute said today.

By a 52 percent to 27 percent margin, Pennsylvanians approve of the law that may prompt protests tonight at the Major League Baseball All-Star game in Anaheim, Calif., says a Quinnipiac poll of 1,367 Pennsylvanians.

[OrangeHoof]

Quinnipiac is Hillary’s pollsters, so it is probably a wider margin than that.

I will admit I shed a tear during the community all stars segment. I couldn’t help but think how govt health care would impact some of what they did. I predict Joey Votto will hit a Home Run.

[Pharmboy]

Now THAT’S frickin’ funny...

[OrangeHoof]

And Ubaldo gets out of it. I’m noticing a lot of first-timers this year.

[TornadoAlley3]

[MountainDad]

Cardinals fan.

Go NL

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Yep

Go Reds

[catfish1957]

Astros fan checking in. Sure hope I get to see Bourn pinch run (snicker)

[angcat]

I changed the channel when all the Hollywood garbage came on. Horrible and very disappointing.

[eyedigress]

I’m not a big baseball guy anymore but David Price is a local product from Rutherford County, TN. We like to see the kids do well.

[angcat]

ANDREW EUGENE PETTITTE!

[Pharmboy]

90 seconds would have been tolerable...it NEVER ENDED. Stupid Fox...

[OrangeHoof]

Is it just me or does Corey Hart look like he could star in some slasher movies?

[eyedigress]

Is it the Cajun, Texan, or both that was fun?

[OrangeHoof]

Wow. You rarely see Ichiro look that bad on a swing.

[angcat]

It’s the Italian that makes him gorgeous.

[MacMattico]

Yes! Go Yankees! Go AL! RIP George Steinbrenner & Bob Sheppherd.

[al_c]

Go Rangers! .... er, American League.

[angcat]

I found a great picture of George and Richard Nixon.

He loved Nixon.

[Pan_Yan]

Remember a year or two ago when the NL was winning like 1-0 going into the ninth and Hoffman blew the game?

AARRRGGHH!!!!

[bobby.223]

yep! go Bombers!!!!...... Bill Dickey, Joe D., ‘king kong’ Keller, Tommy H., Yogi, Raschi, Lopat, Reynolds, Scooter, Mick, the ‘Chairman of the Board’ Whitey Ford, Hank B., Elston, Billy, Coleman, Johnson, etc. etc. etc.... wow! the yanks have the tradition huh? pulled, (is that still a term?!), for these guys for many years!

[Red Steel]

LoL. Pitchers always blow when it comes to fielding. Launch!

[OrangeHoof]

1-0 Americans on the sac fly. That could be enough.

[WeatherGuy]

1-0 AL.

Good news for the Mariners when they reach the World Series.

[AGreatPer]

Ahh, the good old all star game. When all but one of my Pirates get a break from losing games.

[OrangeHoof]

Great fake by Brandon Phillips catching Elvis Andrus off base.

[AGreatPer]

3-1 about time NL

[OrangeHoof]

Now we’ll see if the NL can protect the lead.

[Teacher317]

They’ve failed to protect leads for the last 4 years in a row.

[OrangeHoof]

Wainwright works out of a jam. Still 3-1 NL going into the eighth.

[AGreatPer]

This pitcher Wilson for the NL used to be with the Beach Boys.

[OrangeHoof]

Wilson gets through the eighth 1-2-3. Going to the 9th. Don’t recall who the other reliever the NL has (Wagner, maybe?).
