All-Star Game Overflow Thread

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on

A Royal has not appeared in an All-Star game since 2005...

I have been told the National League will have to contend with Nathan-Papelbon-Rivera if they want to score (Joe Buck is nothing is not thorough, as I've heard it approximately 25 times). The AL has no other good relievers available. None.

Any volunteers who want to tabulate the contest results after the game?

the predictable has happened

papelbon’s overrated ass allows the go-ahead run….and perhaps the best closer in baseball…the mexicutioner…has not gotten into the game or mentioned by these hacks on fox

Francona is saving Soria

so that he can have somebody throw until his arm falls off if the game goes 17 innings. Because it doesn’t matter if a Royal gets hurt.

We did.

I think she was asked that at each of the 20 games we went to. I need to get a shadow box to put the ticket, certificate, and outfit in.

Another reason to switch to the NL

Soria would have gotten into the game before this stiff.

so there's 3 true outcomes...

1. Mariano blows it.
2. Mariano gets the W.
3. Soria pitches the 10th.
