Ozzie takes Buerhle and Contreras over Schilling and Mussina and takes Konerko and Thome over and much more deserving Hafner. Ozzie just keeps getting worse and worse.


Personally I don't want to see Mussina risk getting hurt, so I'm not too dissapointed.

Can't believe Hafner got left off. Ridiculous. Ozzie's smokin crack.

 

[Bachaveli]

I thought Damon should've been in reserves team in CF.Garry Mathews JR. probably got picked because he made that catch the other day.If America hadn't see that catch,he wouldn't even been considered.

Yanks vs. Mets 9-4.A Rod is a bitch and will always be one as long as he'll play with Yankees.He'll put up tons of HR's and everything and will have most HR's when hes done in my opinion but,he'll never be loved and respected in NY like Jeter is.Maybe i'm wrong comparing these two.
What he needs to do is just shut his mouth and just play baseball for real.La Duca put him in check as well as he should have when A Rod hit grand slam and kinda threw his bat away.Anybody else,i'd say La Duca would've been wrong,but when A Rod hits grand slam and throws his bat in a funny way,opposing player should everytime put him in his place.I give props to La Duca for that.

Agreed, that's bullshit.

I hate fan voting though, and I hate that every team must have a player on the squad. You telling me Mike Lowell shouldn't be in there? Where's Nick Swisher?

 

[Tito]

Wheres Nomar?

Hafner has the opportunity to be voted in as the last selection. the deadline is thursday.

La Duca is a punk ass bitch, A-rod has the right to celebrate.

 

[Get In The Van I Have Candy]

Wheres Nomar?

He really didn't or doesn't deserve the spot whileas Penny does and did. If Nomar keeps doing what he's doing the Dodgers will sign him for a long contract, but I really wish we can get a fucking power hitter. We have none.

 

[KanDeeMan]

Nomar doesn't deserve it? What more does he have to fucking do?

 

[Bachaveli]

La Duca is a punk ass bitch, A-rod has the right to celebrate.

The other way around.A Rod is one of those dudes in neighborhood who tries too hard to impress people and be accepted but gets no respect.

He really didn't or doesn't deserve the spot whileas Penny does and did. If Nomar keeps doing what he's doing the Dodgers will sign him for a long contract, but I really wish we can get a fucking power hitter. We have none.

I think he deserves to be an allstar.He doesn't put up power numbers but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be an allstar.

 

[Get In The Van I Have Candy]

Well looking again through his numbers maybe he does, but I will still play devils advocate and say no.

Nomar doesn't deserve it? What more does he have to fucking do?

He needs to get on his knees and blow. Nomar will survive, with his millions of dollars and semi-hot wife.

 

[Butt Rubber]

The other way around.A Rod is one of those dudes in neighborhood who tries too hard to impress people and be accepted but gets no respect.

but the difference is A-rod actually DESERVES respect, Lo Duca is just a bitch.

 

[Butt Rubber]

ok i guess i can unsticky this now

 

[Snowman]

Gonna be a hell of a game tuesday. Im pulling for the A.L. Kenny Rogers starting pitcher, he keeps the N.L. scoreless. an A-Rod hits a couple of long balls out of the park. American league should have no problem at all.

"OFF TOPIC"... just a reminder to everyone to catch the AAA All Star Game, wednesday on ESPN2. Live from Fifth Third Field here in Toledo. the IL vs the Pacific Coast League. a chance for everybody to see the New ball park they built here in Toledo. wednesdays game will be a sellout, it holds up to 12,500 in the stadium.

Unfortunately i wont be going to the game. I will be out of town for a week, will try to catch the game on TV though. my Uncle is going he'll bring me back a program. gonna be warm for the game about 84 degrees at game time.

 

[AmerikazMost]

The All-Star game is tainted. It needs a major overhaul.

I don't know if I'll ever like it again after that tie a few years back. Still can't believe they rename it after Teddy Ballgame and then don't even give the award out. Fuck Selig for that shit.
