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.

That would be really cool

It would be kinda weird how the city would hold it b/c the complex is away from downtown.

They should have the

American Royal BBQ take place in the parking lot. Of course they’d have to change the date to do this.

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.

Life would be near perfect at that point, it would be pure perfect if the rolling roof appeared out of nowhere, free from tax payers dollars.

Don't get me started on light rail

The powers that be in KC will do ANYTHING to nix light rail. They will even ignore election results

Yeah i rode theirs too. Also sweet

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

Yeah, I still gotta get up there for a baseball game, I left the day before opening day, no choice.

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....

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.

Yes… Jason Bay has been doing the same thing Manny did for the Sox… get promoted as one of the best players in the game despite not being able to field the 2nd easiest position on the field and having his numbers inflated by the joke of a park

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.

Please God yes

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it!

I'm making a I hate Maddon sign if that happens.

Gotta give the announcers credit

for knowing that KC is on the other side of the state and on I-70

Pretty sure Utley mostly helps teams win WS

by having insane range and being a monster at the plate

although those 1-2 marginal DPs a season probably make some sort of difference

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.

I don't fight extra players.

I don't think the Royals DFA'ed RI twice

or even once

did dude bounce around a little? yes

by royalsreview on Jul 16, 2009 1:26 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not even once by the Royals?

So were you able to confirm that the Royals never sent Ibanez down even once? If so, I still take issue with Mr. Buck’s comment. It was and igonorant comment at best, a malicious one at worst.
