Wow just finished watching the All-Star game and have some questions for fellow viewers.
Was the pre-game really two hours longer than the game?
Is David Wright really that cool?
Did it seem like the Bud Selig show to you?
Can Vladimir Guerrero hit any pitch out of the park?
Were you as surprised as I to see Ichiro hit the suck cycle? - strike out, ground out, pop out.
Were you just waiting for Bud Selig to say "this Bud's for you"
Did the award ceremony make you want to buy a Chevy Avalanche?
At any point during the game did you think that the National League had a glimmer of hope of winning this time?
Are you like me and tired of cheering for your home team and just want to embrace your home league? AL kicks tail. I am so proud to be an AL fan.
Do you think Bud Selig is trying to launch an acting career with all of his face time?
Were there really award interruptions every other inning?
Did you just have the tv on and were just kind of paying attention but mostly not and never really even saw one pitch?
Do you feel closer to Bud Selig?
Do you find it strange that Bronson Arroyo was the 8th best pitcher on the Red Sox but is actually PLAYING in the All-Star game for the National League?
Did you know that Bronson Arroyo is also in a band?
Is Bud Selig the greatest commisioner ever?
Is Bronson the greatest acoustic guitar player alive?
probably. and that's coming from a diehard yankee fan. but that little sidebar piece on him tonight was unnecessary. Did FOX really need him to plug 24? It took up a good percentage of the "interview." this guy is the real deal and i wish nothing but the best for david wright (oh, and that i wish him to play first base for the yankees when he becomes a free agent!)
A-Rod has reversed the fortunes of this once great dynasty. He is the anti-Babe. A 5 tool All-Star MVP player, but he brings no intangibles to this team. There is no reason to foresee Steinbrenner being able to work around Albatross Rodriguez. He ties up so much money and leads them nowhere. He makes it unlikely that even King George can ransom his war chest to buy enough talent to win. Believe me, if he had any leadership abilities, he would have several rings by now. If Derek Jeter had Arods natural talent, there would be no pennant race.
sportsnuttz, The All Star Game was a great spectacle to watch but one has to lament the woes that have befallen the NL. They can't do anything right, but for shooting themselves in the foot. They've been disastrous in inter league play and then lose the mid season classic to the meltdown of Trevor Hoffman.
Jed Baseball...... A Rod continues to be hero and the villain all roled into one. Three errors in a game is not up A Rod's usual pristine standard. So what gives ?
