Jeter was hit on the hand in his first at-bat.

I really hope it doesn't linger and gimp his play later this season, like it did last year when Daniel Cabrera hit him..

Did anyone else notice how in awe Victor Martinez was with Mo?

Obama is a loser Bush has a better arm he can throw a strike.

Mo should of won the MVP!

Good news first game of the world series will be at the new yankee stadium.

AL is dominant once again. It is the better league has better hitters and pitchers. Also there was no DH tonight so the NL cant use that excuse.

Rich said...

Hopefully Yankee Stadium will see an Obama first pitch this October.

While we’re talking about the All-Star Game, I’ve got to get this off my chest. I don’t think home field in the World Series should be determined by who wins the ASG. Although I am appreciative that the Yanks would have it are they so fortunate. Home field in the WS should be determined the same way it’s determined in the first two rounds, just like in the NBA. The pennant-winner with the best record should have home field. If both teams have the same record, home field goes to the head-to-head winner (if applicable), otherwise it goes to the team with the better second half record. Unless the team with the better record is a wild card winner, in which case home field goes to the other team.

I fell asleep in the 3rd inning, woke up after the game ended. So I went to mlb.com, saw the video of Crawford's catch and Mo's last out, and I feel like I didn't miss a thing.

Greg Cohen said...

Yes the game was boring. Besides last year, because I was there, all star games bore me.

And making this game decide homefield in the world series is very stupid. It should go to the team with the best record.

I think the NL is going to want to change that home field rule back to what it was. This is getting ridiculous.

The Thrill said...

What's lost in a lot of these discussions is the fact that two of the American League's best players: Evan Longoria and Dustin Pedroia didn't even play!

Where do you think the AL's streak will end, 15? 18? 20!?

Fantastic collection!
I wonder why i could not found this site before. I can guess that 3B Michael Young TEX, 1B Kevin Youkilis BOS and, 3B Ryan Zimmerman WSH will be the best out of good list. I will surely try them as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing your list here.
