How do you feel about the upcoming MLB All-Star Game? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Big C · 07-02-2009, 11:25 PM

With the controversy of that last thread hopefully defused, I'd like to start a new thread that will go a lot better.

As we know, the MLB All-Star Game is a week and a half away, and most of us members have a rooting interest in either an A.L. team or an N.L. team.

What are your thoughts on the Midsummer Classic?

I lost what little interest I had in the All-Star game years ago.

I always love it. This year, Charlie is the NL manager. World Champions and the NL is going to win the game! Remember I told you that Chris, I'm calling it. I just think the All star game is great for the game. They just added a player to each roster this year, in case it goes to extras again.

I actually do agree with that prediction; I see the N.L. ending their long losing streak.

Ironically, the last time they won an All-Star game was in, of all place, PHILLY!

Here's what was going on the last time the National League won an All-Star Game:

You know the logo and helmet design the Eagles have nowadays? 1996 was the year it was introduced.

The CoreStates Center- now the Wachovia Center- opened

The 76ers had just drafted Allen Iverson, who resuscitated the franchise

Have they announced the starting pitchers yet? I'd like to see Doc Halliday from the Toronto Blue Jays start for the American League.

Eric Lindros was on the Flyers still- in 1996!

yeah good observations......

do you think the score will be close, or a blow out?

No the managers usually announce who the starter will be, a day or two before the game starts....so they can prepare.

The game is in St. Louis this year. I know Chris Carpenter won't be starting, so they better prepare for somebody else.

No problem man!

Marv, what happened to our beloved Blue Jays & Phillies-lol? Division leaders all the way, then it takes a turn for the worst. At least the Jays are still in contention and the Phillies are still technically in 1st place but my god

I don't know what happened to the Phills but Toronto's problem is injuries. I think they have four starting pitchers currently on the D.L.

The Phillies are just worn out, from a long season last year, and a crazy, up and down season so far in 2009. We have injuries as well, but it doesn't look good. If we can make it to the all star break and still be in 1st, it would be a true miracle

Meh,

I lost interest in baseball since the Indians can't even get a good bullpen together. So the All-Star Game doesn't matter to me.

Same here.

Wreckless · 07-03-2009, 03:26 PM

All 3 of you, why did you lose interest in the All star game?

I can see losing interest in a sport in general, but the all star game is nothing but fun for me. Just Curious guys.
