he's batting .252

what a god damn joke

 

the nl sends 4 1st basemen to the all star game...hilarious!

so now i suppose Pujols plays maybe 4 innings to get the other guys in there.

he needs to play all nine innings if the nl wants to win.

but no, lets give ryan "i cant even hit my weight" howard some pt

la-dee-frickin-da

few reasons.

1. Charlie Manuel is coaching the NL team.
2. Howard is from St. Louis.
3. MLB needs him to participate in the Home Run Derby.


Quit being a homer - no one will play 9 fucking innings.  no matter how much bud selig wants the all star game to mean something, it never will.

WS home field advantage seems pretty meaningful

it's not.  and the all star game should not decide this anyway.  it's a temporary fix.  you think anyone who is repping the nationals, pirates, or the indians gives a fuck which team has the homefield advantage in the world series??


MLB has failed miserably with their attempt to come up with a meaningful all star game.

we'd all like to think so.  but you could also argue that they show up to the ballpark much like many of us show up to the office.  and some days you just don't give a fuck. 

If the game really did matter, the managers wouldnt have so much pressure on them to play everyone. 

Also, prideful or not, there will be no pittsburgh pirates in the world series this year.  I also find it hard to believe that the pirates players would be rooting for the Cubs in the world series this year  just bc they're both in the NL. 

Also, the Cubs will be absent from the WS this year as well.

Im saying the way its set up now no matter who is playing and how often the game has significant implications, hence why it is meaningful.  Obviously I think this is fucking stupid but it still doesnt take away from the fact that the game is important.

what in the fuck are you even rambling about here?


and every team has at least 1 representative, so why are you saying there will be no Pirates? Freddy Sanchez is an all star.
