Sweet-N-SourRobin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 A retaliatory plunking, leading to bench warnings and possibly even ejections and suspensions, in the All-Star Game would rule so hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I heard an interesting stat this morning. The team with home field has won 25 of the last 32 World Series. NL needs to get the bats going.Read this, Triskyhttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/1705804-is-the-all-star-game-awarding-home-field-advantage-changing-the-world-seriesSo here's where we find ourselves staring the original question in the face: Has the home-field advantage aspect of the All-Star Game had an impact? Based on what we've looked at, the answer is "no" more than it is "yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Have to admit I got chills at Enter Sandman. Great moment for Mariano Rivera.Absolutely. There have been some quality (in all aspects) Yankees players over the years. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet-N-SourRobin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Gomez just committed one of the Classic Blunders.The first is never try to take third with no outs (which Fielder just did), but second and only slightly less well-known is this: Never extend your glove hand several steps early and rob yourself of the last few steps to get to the ball.INCONCEIVABLE!

thetitansbastard Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wasn't that Gonzalez? Not a big deal in an exhibition, but the Fielder play would have been fine even in the World Series it was easily a triple. Also, I'm not a big fan of Rivera getting MVP. I mean its an exhibition but its not Little League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetitansbastard Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sale would have made more sense, maybe Kipnis? Bottom line, that was clearly a tribute, think it cheapens it. Not that it matters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Lord Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 *insert mild grumbling that my team's pitcher wasn't put in the game, even during the Everyone-throws-an-out-bonanza, even though he's got closing chops* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 NL woulda won if Puig were there. Or if they just had Kersh pitch the whole game. And Neil Diamond should have been MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smegma Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sale continues to be one of the very few bright spots of this season's Sox. I love this kid and glad he got some more big-stage recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 what is that and why do you want people to click on it?It is a blow by blow account of the imbecile who ran out onto the field at the ASG. It started with his Tweet "I'll run out onto the field at citi field if I get 1,000 RTs." It includes screen caps of the text messages his mom sent to him telling him he's an idiot and not to do it, a tweet that says "well, you can blame it on social media", and finally moments before he ran onto the field and was literally body slammed by security "AHHH".
