A Sea Of Red

Pregame observations:

1. Sad to see Willie McCovey in a wheel chair.
2. Cool to see a couple of old timers with 2 hats--Dave Winfield & Gary Carter.
3. Great to see lots of old timers wearing Orioles hats--Cal, Brooks, Palmer, Frank, Eddie, & Earl.

Sad to see Wade Boggs in a Yankee's hat. He needed a nice Rays hat, or at least a hat of the team he was inducted as a member of (The Sox).

Glad the fans gave props to Willie and Hank, not just the Yankees.

And what's with everyone kissing Steinbrenner?




I am calling for an NL win in the game, on a Rivera blown save...

They're going to play a game?

So you mean you don't live for Joe Buck going on and on with a lame script and lots of old guys in baseball caps?

Cmon, what's wrong with you?

I'm cool with the old guys. Joe Buck - not so much. Even in football.

I hear ya.

Hanley Ramirez is the first batter and strikes out. McCarver on the replay says "Cut fastball in on the hands of Hanley Ramirez" and the pitch was clearly outside over the outter half of the plate.

He took some heat for his interview with Cowturd on ESPN radio...he said he no longer enjoys watching sports and rarely watches a game during the week and would much rather watch a show like the Bachlorlette then a game...gotta love an announcer who has passion for his job and the games he calls


I liked Joe....but after that I'm a little bitter, not gonna lie

As a semi Royals fan...yes, their brand of baseball is tough to swallow...ZERO fundamentals


PS....Ichero (sp?) has a CANNON

That was an awesome pre-game ceremony...sure would like to know why Joe Morgan was not there with the other 2B? Afraid of getting booed out of the stadium?

BTW...All-Star games are always special in our household...first date with the now Mrs FR was the night of the 1982 All-Star game when Concepcion was MVP for the NL.

Did you say that Jr. Fumble was conceived on your first date and you were the MVP?????

Yankee fans are idiots.

I feel really sorry for Papelbon. I can't wait for him to eliminate them from playoff contention later on this year. All the time I am reminded more and more why I hate the Yankees and everything they are about and stand for.

Former Oriole & current Astro Miggy Tejada scores the go-ahead run for the National League.

Go Rays... Evan Longoria with a ground rule double to tie it up against Billy Wagner... 3-3 going into the 9th. Please no ties.

HAHAHAHA I didnt want to post that but I had to read that twice b/c I knew that's what he said! LOL

I'm not a big Papelbon fan, but I would love to have a fathead with his stare on it. That would scare the crap out of me every day I wake up.

Is there a 10 inning limit?

I don't think so, now with the new home field advantage implications, I have to assume they are gonna play it out.

Dont ask Bud...




That was classic

Aaron Cook is lookin' cool out there, dealing with this HUGE jam in the 10th.

Let's see if he can get the 3rd out.

Wow, Cider, your boy Miggy with some HUGE defence and we go to the 11th.

Tejada saves the WS home field advantage for the Cubs! (at least for another inning...)

WOW...that's VERY impressive to get out of that jam...that's textbook baseball right there




and that play by Miggy was absolutely sick....IMO there is nothing that looks better by an infielder then when they have to drop down their arm slot and throw...and he was completely parallel with the ground and even hit the ground after




LOL...anyone see how hard Bud's breathing? LOL we could see this photo all over again

I couldn't agree with you more I couldn't have said it any better myself...
