All-star Game In-game-thread

[moneyline]

Reminds me of the time I was on a last date with the 1st love of my life. We went to SF Giants game against the Rockies -- down by 1 in the bottom of the 9th, our final date was almost over ... until ... Bonds hit a HR almost 500 feet (the longest of the year), prolonging the game until the 12th, when the Rockies hit a granny, ending the game 12-8 ...

Yankee Stadium does not want to let go of something magical easily either ... respect her ... she is amazing!

(actually, I think the final score was 13-9)

[ertl09]

This is good stuff.

Great game

I'm not agruing that a bunt in that situation should have been the play. I agree when the game is tied you give up an out and move the guy up. Its the game of baseball, Kinsler was safe anyways at 2nd, lets say he was called safe and later on scores, would you still be calling him an idiot? Probably calling him a idiot based on the bet you made.

Baseball is about playing the percentages, not what-ifs!

Baseball 101 states you bunt the leadoff runner over with nobody out in that situation!!!!!!!! He chose not to for some idiotic reason. Anyone with any baseball IQ knows what he did was beyond stupid. You don't have to bet the game to see it.

Doesn't matter if he was safe or not at 2B, it should never have come to that!!!!!!!!!

[Axel Edge]

yeah it sucks rocks.........i love baseball but this is a disgrace........toooo long

[element1286]

again for the 2nd time , He should have bunted but the outcome wouln't have been the same. Look what just happen he got the guy out at second could have happened when kinsler was on first .

[Ragnarok]

I hope Bud Selig has a heart attack. Or gets randomly stabbed by somebody on the Mitchell Report.

This really sucks. I mean, really sucks. Probably the dumbest game since....oh wait, this happened a few years ago when it ended in a tie. Nice job Selig, god damn moron.

Very true, can't assume the bunt gets down perfectly.

[Axel Edge]

who cares about the bunt....im still trying to find out who the heck is the AL 3rd base coach that sent Navarro home.....the guy probably thought there was cookies waiting for him behind the plate

[daggerkobe]

Again, you're dealing in what-ifs.

THE OUTCOME DOES NOT MATTER, WHY DO YOU NOT GET THIS??????????

YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE PERCENTAGES AND TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF HE BUNTS AND POPS UP AND KINSLER GETS PICKED OFF. IT'S STILL A GOOD PLAY. WHY? BECAUSE HE WAS PLAYING THE CORRECT PERCENTAGES!!!!!! NO ONE WILL BLAME HURDLE FOR THE BUNT JUST NOW BECAUSE IT WAS THE CORRECT CALL. THE PLAYER DIDN'T DO THE JOB BUT IT WASN'T THE MANAGERS FAULT! DO YOU GET IT NOW?????

[moneyline]

Axel, it was the right thing to do ... took a perfect throw and a short hop grab by the catcher to get him ... and even with that, it is questionable if the tag got him in time ...

100% Correct!

[Marigold HD]

Wow....Uggla with a clean play

[ertl09]

He was barely out at home, I bet if he didn't send him you would be calling him a idiot for not sending him. The ball was hit to center, usually the toughest to throw someone out, you have the mound that gets in the way and plus McLouth isn't known for a great arm. He took a chance for the win, you can't expect him to know exactly how fast Navarro when this is his first time sending him home.

We all know what you are talking about. He made the wrong call about the bunt, but it doesn't mean the game is over if he keeps the bunt on.

[daggerkobe]

Fat bastard looks like he's running in quick sand.

I am sooooooooo happy the Dodgers kept Martin and got rid of that fat tub of lard.

[daggerkobe]

Wow Uggla.....

[element1286]

Wow, unlucky there. Poor Uggla.

[Axel Edge]

GRANTED.....i just dont like sending anybody that big home with 1 out.....silly rule of thumb i know

[Ragnarok]

Uggla is probably the worst 2nd basemen I've ever seen.

[oddsmaker]

somebody needs to make sure uggly hasnt called his bookie 134 times between innings

[Marigold HD]

How many times do I have to say this......Uggla has the fix on

[Junkyard Dog]

dan uggla another error REALLY

[Axel Edge]

Uggly Uggggggggggggglaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[flyingillini]

Uggla is probably the worst 2nd basemen I've ever seen.

I really don't understand why is even on the team. Never cared for him as a player.

yeah...... for the 3rd time now, I agree that he should have bunted, but since you didn't get that, we will just leave it at that .

[Junkyard Dog]
