PrintAnyone else actually nervous for Zack? Not in a doubting way, just in a ... dare I say... loving way? If my brother was pitching tonight, I'd have no doubt that he'd do great, but that wouldn't mean that I still wouldn't be nervous.

If the AL actually cares about winning this game
they would let Zack pitch 9 innings
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
I would be pissed beyond belief if that happened

Hey
Greinke just got about 5 seconds of clips just of him in an ESPN first half montage, pretty good because they are all pretty quick cuts.

Im my very biased opinion, anyone that calls themselves a Royals fan is a much better “fan” than Cardinals followers.
Royals fans are for real. Badge of honor.

Is that really gonna happen?

Hopefully by then
Light rail will be moving forward and we can at least have a Stadium-Downtown link along with a Downtown-Airport link.

Are they gonna build a retractable roof though? I mean seriously they’re gonna have to play the first month outside of MN if they don’t

Well they block off so much crap around the stadiums anyways..
so having it out of the down town area, wouldn’t be a huge deal.
Fanfest at P&L ( i went for the NCAA tourney at the courtyard is perfect for this kind of stuff) that being said the P&L sucks.
At least Wally Joyner's not on the team....
I'm usually not the kind of person who notices this...
but I think every single one of the “All-Stars among us” were white.
Just sayin’.

One of my least favorite All-Star memories:
Joe Buck last year, knowing absolutely nothing about Joakim, getting his name wrong and pretty much throwing him under the bus.
I hate Joe Buck. He almost managed to ruin one of the most exciting football plays I’ve ever seen (Tyree catch) with his monotone delivery.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
He called a reverse a double reverse...
in a playoff game between Green Bay and Atlanta once… I have hated him ever since

“That was a disgusting act by Randy Moss. I’d like to apologize to those at home who had to witness that”

I'm trying to decide if any of those are worth risking a 4 game streak on or if they're too much of a crapshoot
Seems like AL and AL are good odds
Mainly because of the flaws in the picks
AL has the first chance and AL gets “draw” in the 5th
That was an absolutely disgusting display by Randy Moss

He's an overhyped little kid who is all about himself and no one else
Not playing in Minnesota because it’s too cold? Way to support the team. And those little pass the balls around himself are travels. Too flashy

this roy hallladay hype is getting out of control
he’s managed to go from underrated to overhyped in the span of 6 months
-
exactly
he was underrated until mid way through last year and now he’s reallly overrated.
he’s not the best
Does anyone remember Johan Santana in Minnesota…..he was better than Halladay WITHOUT QUESTION in wins, era, innings, strikouts,from 2002 – 2007

I have this sneaking feeling...
that when Greinke finally does get to pitch, he will be supported by some awful defense… The story of his life.

we could run with this and start a rumor;
possibly fire up the MSM v. blog debate?

I look forward to being scolded by the MSM
followed by numerous similar stories in the print media a week later
Roy gets great defense
Zack won’t if he plays

I sure am glad we have a guy who knows how to scout
not like that jerk J. P. Ricciardi
did you hear what he said about Adam DUnn?

Dang
If only Zack had started, he would have gotten to hit :(
No other pitchers are going to get to
i havent read the thread yet, but i'm assuming three things have been mentioned...
1) Zack rules
2) NL defense sucks
3) Trey Hillman as a coach in the ASG undermines this whole damn thing
where i'm "day-to-day" but i won't play again happens!
No mention of 3 yet
But I guess you got it covered now ;)
Lots of Zack rules, tho. Did you know that he can breathe fire and make ice cream appear just by thinking about it?
looked like Rays color too

I understand that people are unhappy about Greinke not starting
but, um, Halladay isn’t “overrated” now, he’s “properly” rated

I don't think anyone thinks he's overrated- maybe some do
I think I mentioned this in my fan post- any other year, he’d be very deserving. But this year we had something historical so we got jobbed a little
I'M SO MAD ABOUT IT!!!11
Don’t get me wrong! I know the All-Star game is meaningless and stupid, and Josh Hamilton freaking made it despite not doing anything this season
EXCEPT FOR THE STARTING PITCHER WHICH MATTERS SOOOO MUCH

he's made 30+ starts in 5 out of the last 7 seasons
people making him sound like ironman
-
yes, he should have played through that broken leg and appendicitis
over the past three seasons (one of which included the surgery for appendicitis I believe) he’s thrown for more innings than anyone in baseball besides CC Sabathia
