Gamenight: National (41-35-2) At American (35-41-2)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Tue, July 15, 2008 06:19 PM
Tonight is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The National League and American League partake in this mid-summer classic, which brings together most of baseball’s best players. (I say most of because it’s not all of them.)
The National League has a potent lineup of slap hitters and power bashers, while the American League will trot out a bunch of Yankees and Red Sox. And Josh Hamilton. He’s good.
Look for Chase Utley to get about five innings, while Brad Lidge is scheduled to close this out for the NL. And I say they’ll win. This is the year, folks, that the NL takes down the junior circuit. Look for the tough NL lineup to expose starter Cliff Lee and jump out to an early lead. Then watch Edinson Volquez and Dan Haren mow the AL down later.
Of course, Billy Wagner is scheduled to pitch in the eighth inning. I hope the NL has a huge lead by then.
National: Ben Sheets (10-3) 2.85 ERA
American: Cliff Lee (12-2) 2.31 ERA
Gametime: 8 p.m. EST
Weather: 79, sunny
Lineup: Ramirez/Utley/Berkman/Pujols/Jones/Holliday/Braun/Soto/Fukudome
Your gamenight beer: Tonight, as it’s an exhibition, you drink what you want. You make the recommendation. What’s your favorite beer?
Go National League!

ICHIRO HAS A GUN! WOW! Even though Pujols was safe.
Isn’t it incredible how often umpires miss those tags?
July 15th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Come on Volquez! That was Wagner’s job!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
wait… wilson is up for the 8th? i hope lidge doesn’t get screwed over in favor wagner.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
and Wagner chokes…surprise surprise.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
we’ll see what the two Pat Burrell replacement screwjobs do in the top of the 9th to win it for the NL…
July 15th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
WAGNER! WAGNER! YOU SUCK! THE ONE TIME I ROOT FOR YOU AND YOU BLEW IT!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Seriously, Greg…you knew that would happen. He’s a master at choking
July 15th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Stella Artois. Fuck Wagner.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
I agree Dan. Fuk mets fans too, while we’re at it.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
How sweet would it be for Rivera to take the loss in this game? They’ve had so much PR bullshit about the Yankees and how this is the last All-Star game in the park, etc…
July 15th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Rivera doesn’t blow anything! I’ve seen him work his way out of the sickest jams and this was no exception.
I have a feeling this will be a late night!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Is David Uggla taking hitting lessons from Carlos Ruiz! He’s fielding like shit too! Looks like the NL is going to blow it again! Give Mr. Uggla the Steve Jeltz!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Nope. Uggla is sucking the big one. Must be taking lessons from Wagner. Game over.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
This is getting uggla-y
July 16th, 2008 at 12:00 am
uggla is messin up.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:00 am
haha tim, do you give awards for tonight?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:04 am
woo! I wanna see lidge so bad!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:05 am
wow…what nice job to save the game
July 16th, 2008 at 12:06 am
never thought i’d say that i’m rooting for a met, but i’m actually pulling for david wright…does that make me a bad person?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:32 am
uggla is having the worst all star game of anyone ever.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:34 am
I’ll pull for David Wright if it puts Lights Out Lidge on the mound! COME ON WRIGHT! EVEN THOUGH PAT THE BAT SHOULD BE UP RIGHT NOW!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:37 am
And Wright wasn’t up yet. God I need sleep!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Why the hell is Cook still up? Get that pussy Brandon Webb on the mound!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:40 am
If dan uggla made the all star team than ryan howard should have too. They are both one dimensional but howards one dimension blows uggla’s out of the water
July 16th, 2008 at 12:41 am
I’m starting to wonder if the fix is in considering Mr. Uggla.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:42 am
If Steinbrenner dropped a briefcase full of money in front of you, what would you do?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:42 am
I field ground balls better than uggla. Put in hamels!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:42 am
I don’t even care anymore. This is boring me to tears at this point!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Pat would of ended this game 2 hours ago
July 16th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Seriously!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Can you imagine Uggla and Howard playing in the same side of someone’s infield. Talk about a fucking sieve. That would be the most pitchfork handed tandem of all time. They are about as sure-handed as LJ Smith on third down
July 16th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I just got done filling out applications at all the local convenience stores. Great game!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:49 am
I think we should go after the O’s pitcher whos pitching now
July 16th, 2008 at 12:56 am
I was just thinking the same thing! An Oriole in the All-Star Game? PRICELESS!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:01 am
UGGLA YOU FUCKING SUCK!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:01 am
Just have Brad Lidge play 2nd at this point!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Signing off! GO NATIONAL LEAGUE!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Seeing as Lidge had to loosen up pretty much every inning from 8 and on, I understand him not having his best stuff. Still, this was just plain lousy! WAGNER YOU SUCK! THIS WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:43 am
i guess i can see how you would say its wagners fault but at the same time brad lidge couldnt hold the lead so unfortunantly the nl east bullpen couldnt get it done to give us the win
July 16th, 2008 at 1:47 am
That fucking douche bag got the AL MVP…fuck him. I’m surprised the Yankee fans aren’t booing the shit out of him right now. We all know how classless they are.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:49 am
thanks philly great time for your closer to turn into billy wagner
July 16th, 2008 at 1:52 am
I nominate Dan Uggla for the Jeltzie
July 16th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Wagner blew it. Lidge was warming up for like 3 hours. He was tired.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Well, how about that last throw to the plate? If it was McLouth throwing another beam to Martin, they’d still be playing. For the record, what’s the call if they tie? Coin toss?
July 16th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Boohoo poor Lidge this guy is a pro he should know how to deal with a situation like that. No question Wagner did his part to blow it but Lidge was in there throwing gas in the high 90’s so don’t give me this bull shit that he was tired.
July 16th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Throwing for 3 hours and anticipating coming in for 3 hours can really get you mentally and physically tired.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:10 am
I just hope suffering the loss here don’t screw Lidge up like the 05 NLCS did.Wagner deserves the most blame.I still can’t believe Hurdle chose him to the All Star Game.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:37 am
From a Mets fan: Wagner = horrible. Thanks.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:38 am
oh yeah and Dan Uggla is what you call “not clutch”
July 16th, 2008 at 8:38 am
If Burrell were in this game, we would have dominated!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
BOO UGGLA! FUCK U
