Cause that worked out great the last time

How bout the Yankees game last night! Kept me up late, but well worth it. Awesome rally in the ninth inning against a pretty good pitcher in Broxton.

As a Giants fan I was happy with the outcome

This is the main reason that I think pitchers should not have win/loss records.

I'd hate to see the name Athletics go away, since they have been around FOREVER, but it would be cool to see the Expos again (not the Washington Expos).

Would Tampa go the the Al central and then KC to the West? Thats my guess. Lots could happen though.

Nah, just add them to the AL East, and give the Yankees a bye.

Tampa would definitely benefit right now. Would take the Yanks and Bosox out of the picture.

And KC would still suck, no matter what division they're in.

Montreal has proved that they will not support a MLB team. The year of the strike the Expos were best in the NL and they still could not draw fans, then after the strike they were lucky to get 5000 fans a game.

All Star snubs....the biggest are Joey Votto & Heath Bell. Both deserve to be in the mid-summer classic.

And Geradi being "slick" picking Sabathia (knowing he is pitching 11 Jul and then said he was gonna subsitute him with Pettitte). WRONG way to go about it. While Pettitte deserves to be there, why not pick him first?

Forget that, how about Omar Infante going from the braves? That makes zero sense to me

True...what the hell was Charlie Manuel thinking???

MedicCook · 07-04-2010, 09:45 PM

The manager every year does everything they can to get their own players on the team. Nothing new.

I dunno. Not like the Braves aren't well represented. Maybe he owes him a favor or something

The All-Star selection process is a joke.
Add Butt Selig into the mix and it will remain a disaster.

And speaking of "All-Star" jokes, Baltimore and Detroit are presently involved in a real pitchers' duel. In the top of the 4th, it's 8-7 already.

The Infante pick is a joke, and Votto definitely deserves to be there. I'm not an Angels fan what-so-ever, but Jered Weaver deserves to be there too. I hate the fact that managers get to make picks!

Yeah, what the hell do THEY know about baseball? Leave the selection in the capable and objective hands of the fans!

That is laughable, but in all honesty I'd rather the fans have an extra pick than the managers getting any. Really though, every pick should be decided on by the players.
