All-Star Game Open Thread

by Ed Valentine on Jul 14, 2009 7:30 PM EDT in Miscellaneous

I don't know how much you care about the All-Star Game. I just can't get all worked up about it, even if the nitwitted commish has stupidly decreed (attaboy, Travis!) that it determines home-field advantage in the World Series.

Anyway, use this as your Open Thread to discuss the evening's activities.

i wouldnt exactly judge a pitchers performance based on this game considering they dont really get their normal routine … things like meeting the president are more important…

Agreed

No judgement on capabilities, just an observation on the quality of the game.

WOW FOX!!!

are you effing kidding me!? why would you show how much A-Rod and Tex make as compared to Youkilis? this game has nothing to do with that
why show two Yankees? why not choose any other overpaid 3B or 1B?
why rag on the Yankees? why mention the bandbox and how great Boston’s bullpen is?
i effing hate Fox, Joe Buck and every homer working for that joke of a network

Well, I’ll bet that Arod and Tex are the two highest paid players at their positions.
They’ve talked about the AL East pretty much non-stop (Halladay, Boston, NY). It would suck to be a Padres fan.

well yeah

but it seemed like they made it a point to ridicule the Yankees by showing how much they pay their players while gritty gutty Youkilis plays for free, no wait, he actually pays the Red Sox and their fans to play!

it's pretty silly

of course Youkilis doesn’t earn as much: he’s never been a FA! it’s almost like saying Phil Hughes is far more valuable than DiceK bc he only makes $400 K vs. $17 mil. well of course! Hughes hasn’t hit FA yet.
