Figgins hauls his ass down to St. Louis after getting a call at 9 AM PST this morning that he has been chosen to replace Longoria. So he flies from LA and gets their right before game time, and he doesn't even get in the game. Thats F'n ridiculous.

Wait what, I thought Young replaced Longo.

Young replaced Longoria as the starter, Figgins replaced Longoria on the team.

This story describes Figgins' day.

Wow, so Maddon really did do a ****** job.

 

[Rudzud]

hype or not, mcgwire never won a ws with the cards and he doesnt even COME CLOSE to pujols talent and btw jeremey you have a new quote to add to your sig haha

i am not arguing pujols' talent against mcgwire. Pujols is better. All i am saying is that Pujols did not generate WORLD wide media coverage like mcgwire did. Pujols did not bring media from all reaches of the country. McGwire did. To celebrate St. Louis cardinals baseballl history and not have 1 highlight of #62 is a crock.

I think we can all agree that he should have atleast been mentioned.

Hey, he won the game.... You can't get everyone into the game.

 

[Rudzud]

I am kind of mad that they did not do a better show of Stan Musial
He is 88 this was one of the last chances to celebrate him on big stage
He very rarely goes to the park anymore from what I hear

Yeah, that was pretty BS. I dont even remember them showing any of his career highlights.

I wouldn't say he won...I'd say the NL rolled over. 6 baserunners and Heath Bell...srsly?

Pence didn't get to play. The national league got 5 freaking hits and couldn't find an at bat for a kid in his first all-star game. That's ******* weak.

how does Brad Hawpe bat 2x and Hunter Pence does not get at least 1 ???????

Listen, how old is Pence? Its fair to say he'll make atleast 1 more ASG

Tim Wakefield is 42 years old and he doesnt face 1 batter. C'mon man.

Atleast Wakefield and Pence got to enjoy the experience...

BTW It was also Figgins' 1st all star appearance.

Maybe you should have beaten us in the ALCS so Francona was managing!

This has been fun, time for bed though.

 

[trevordchi]

Another reason having the all-star game choose home field is retarded. First timers should always get in the game.

But their fans didn't...

I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching the game.

 

[Frow]

Just want to state


Greinke is the only AS pitcher to strike out more than one batter and holds 25% of the k's in the game.

That is all


Homerism complete
