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.

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?

It's gonna be tough for Yadi to get in the ASG anytime soon barring injury

McCann and Russell are both solid hitting catchers and Soto plays in Chicago. It would be tough unless we voted him in.
