sheets (10-3, 2.85) vs lee (12-2, 2.31). when i was a kid, the national league won this game every year; from the time i was 6 years old until i was 19, the al only won it one time. but in the last 20 years, the national league has won just 3 times --- and they mustered a tie one year . . . . . .

i attended the 1984 all-star game at candlestick park in san francisco. the nl starter that night? the immortal charlie lea . . . . .

why did they annouce Pujols?

Did they just not annouce the whole team? Is he hurt?

Embarrassed next year

Man I am going to be embarrassed next year when the media comes to Saint Louis and see DeWitt Pond.

by FlimtotheFlam on Jul 15, 2008 8:06 PM EDT   0 recs

Don't worry...

I’m sure by next year they’ll have sold the naming rights to it.

Of course, by then, I’m not sure St. Louis will have any big companies to sponsor it. Becky’s Carptet & Tile Superstore Pond?

That Marmol will be the one that screws the game for the NL this year?

Ryan Ludwick makes me smile...

He just looked like a third-grader who just got picked first for the kickball team. Just happy to be there, grinning ear to ear.

I said this in the other thread

Did anyone else get chills when they introduced Luddy? I’m so happy for him!

Did Ben Sheets REALLY have that good of a first half? I thought he was hurt for a good portion of it…

I dunno...

I was at Stan Musial Day at Busch, and while it was INCREDIBLY moving, he just…didn’t look like he was doing too well. Maybe he wasn’t up for the flight?

But she wasn’t trying, at least (not excusing her in the least, just saying it’s different than way overdoing it)
