2009 All-Star Game Open Thread
Anyone 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.

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.

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

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.

Who will score first? AL/NL?
How many runs scored in the 3rd? 0/more than 0?
More runs in the 5th? AL or push/NL?
Final out? Strikeout/Fly or Ground Out?

What are you feelings about the Cubs being a bandwagon team or not??
I said they are… in that most of the people who like the team like them because everyone else does….which I equate to be basically the same as everyone liking a winning team.
I have long wanted to know if everyone in America was polled on who their favorite team was…and after they picked their team they had to name as many players on that team as possible…who would have the highest players named??
I feel like the royals would be up there, in that if you like the Royals, you really like the royals.
At least Wally Joyner's not on the team....

Tell Me it Ain't So Joe
I tuned in a little late and sat down to watch Grienke ptich. But right away I heard Joe Buck make a comment that sounds flat out wrong and, of course, I believe it’s a St. Louis’ anti-Royals comment (yeah, my skin is sort of thin like that). Joe said that the Royals designated Ibanez for assignment several times (translation: the Royals don’t know what the hell they’re doing). Is that true? Can anybod look that up? I couldn’t find it. My recollection is that Ibanez was a part-timer with Seattle and that KC, Baird in particular, thought he saw something in Ibanez and brought him to KC and gave him the opportunity to be a regular for the first time at an older age. So we should get credit here, not blame. I looked up Ibanez’s stats and he didn’t have a ton of AB’s his first year w/KC so I suppose its possible, but that doesn’t jive with my memory. If Joe’s wrong, I’d like to call him out on it somehow.
