Wrong thread again?

Seemed like Bochy really managed to win - using several pitchers for more than one inning, matching up to lefties, etc.

Washington looked like a bozo, as usual. And nearly ran out of players. The AL looked like they didn't care.

I'm happy the NL isn't quite the doormat is used to be.

Maybe I was just imagining the sarcasm?

Justin Timberlake was absolutely mocking the hell out of Joe Buck. It was awesome. and his beer comment was pretty funny too when Mark Grace asked him about his favorite food at the stadium and he just said beer because it goes with everything. good stuff. anyone that can mock joe buck on-air is all right by me. other than the 2 phils pitchers i really didn't watch much of the game though. just not all that interesting to me like all all-star games.

Polanco was voted in and has back issues. I don't know who else. Zimmerman's healthy right? But put up no numbers so far this year I guess.

They could have taken Aramis, but they already had met their cub quota

Isn't Aramis the one who didn't go because they didn't ask him on the day he would've liked?

i can't believe the WS is affected by this game..it's mind blowing

yeah, it is bad. hardly ever makes a difference though.

game tonight actually wasn't bad at all. right around 3 hours is pretty quick considering all of the lineup/pitching changes.

least it didn't end in a tie

bud selig's head would have exploded if they ended up in that same position again....


and his head exploding wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen

PHOENIX -- Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez turned down an opportunity to be an All-Star, one of his representatives told ESPNChicago.com.


ESPNChicago.com Cubs blog
The latest news and notes on the Cubs. Blog
NL manager Bruce Bochy asked Ramirez to be the replacement for the Philadelphia Phillies' Placido Polanco (back injury), but Ramirez opted to stick with his plan to spend the break at home in the Dominican Republic.


Ramirez had told reporters on Saturday night that he wasn't sure if he'd go if he was asked.


"I don't know what I'd say," Ramirez said Saturday. "My family has already gone to the Dominican Republic. I'm planning to go there and join them as well."


Ramirez's representative confirmed Ramirez would fly from Pittsburgh to the Dominican Republic.


Ramirez, who was an All-Star in 2005 and 2008, is batting .300 with 15 homers and 51 RBIs this season.


Fifteen players have withdrawn from the All-Star Game in recent days. Six are starting pitchers who started Sunday and therefore were ineligible, according to the rules, to pitch in the All-Star Game. But the remainder of the withdrawals came as a result of injuries.

guess i can't blame him too much. he had made plans and then to be asked on sunday
