Extras this year or no?

[Halladay_is_God]

Aaron Hill the injury starter at 2B and reported is that Halladay is starting the game, too bad i'll be at work

[catman]

I, unfortunately, will also be at work durning the game itself. I will be home for the homerun derby, though.

In fear of a 25 inning game, I will decline the 5.6 dollar offer of doing another ASG diary.

[HollywoodLeo]

I'll be at work during the game.

Go N.L.

Who's coaching against Kenny Mayne in the softball game?

[Providence A's]

CL Andrew Bailey has more k's than any other AL reliever and more multi-k outings than any other AL reliever. not bad for a guy in AA last year.

Jayson Stark's first-half review: MVPs and LVPs; Cy Youngs and Yuks; the very, very odd - ESPN

Now he's the actual answer to these two cool trivia questions: What pitcher leads all AL relievers in strikeouts this year? No, not Jonathan Papelbon or Mariano Rivera. It's Bailey, with 57 (in only 48 2/3 innings). And which AL reliever has had the most outings this year with multiple strikeouts? Nah, not Joe Nathan or J.P. Howell. It's Bailey again (22 multi-whiff games in 37 outings).

those numbers were before his last outing in which he went 2 innings with only 1 k for his 10th save and to lower his ERA below 2.00 (1.92). great season and well deserving of an ASG appearance regardless of the 1 player from each team requirement.

There are only 3 father son combinations that have made the all star team (separate times obviously). Who were they.

I'm still trying to figure out how David Aardsma not make this roster.

Griffeys, Bonds, and Fielders.

Lincecum and Halladay got the nod to start the game for their respective leagues.

Go NL!

[cjkalt]

Well I am thankful to my NL friend for handing me 20 bucks for saying the NL is going to win... 0-11-1, and you think your league is good, ohh and there's the fact there are not 1 but 2 PIRATES, on your team... thats just never a good sign.
