Printsheets (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 . . . . .

Embarrassed next year
Man I am going to be embarrassed next year when the media comes to Saint Louis and see DeWitt Pond.
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?
how in the heck does marmol
deserve a injury substitution?

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.

had a great april, but the league adjusted to him and now he’s toast. hasn’t had a month with an OPS over .800 since then, even with the wrigley inflation, and he has had a sub-.500 OPS so far in July…
and he looked absolutely hilarious on that K swing. Granted, Ankiel would probably have K’d on it as well, but he might have hit opne the the first twon into the subway.
