Anyone else out there weirdly excited about the prospect of the Home Run Derby and All Star Game, despite all logic and reason? Yeah, me, too.
We can all use this thread tonight and tomorrow as an open thread to talk about all the festivities going on at Yankee Stadium.
My father used to mute the tv during baseball games. Now I understand why. I just am always afraid I will miss something. Maybe not.
Karen I mute the TV during the Fox and ESPN games.
Anyone else having issues with Fox? It keeps on going to commercials for me
No commercials here. Just annoying announcers.
How bout SJP? She’s here
Yogi: She’s not bad
So adorable
The commercials have stopped for me.
No thank you, Jeet.
Love Josh H. Love that he got out of the horror he had made his life. Loved his prformance last night.
But enough with the maudlin story.
fc, absolutely. And…for the life of me I don’t understand why he “regrets every one of his tattoos.” Just because they’re a reminder? Or does he think they’re immoral or something? I caught a glimpse of the one on his arm last night and it looked like a work of art to me.
Doc!
HALLADAY! (lovelovelovelovelovelovelove)
Halladay is on my fantasy team.
Everyone should check out this great little story in Extra Bases… I love Papi

Pujols learned that from Sean Casey.
lol fc. that was good.
is it papelbon time yet
Is it me or has Albert shed a few pounds? He doesn’t look quite as beefy. Still cute as hell, though.
Yeah, fc, he should know better than to try to dig for second. He’s not a speed demon.
everyone looks smaller off the juice.
totally kidding by the way
Yeah, I hope so, Ian. :P
looked like Big Z put a little extra Madonna, i mean mustard on that ball past Arod
Speaking of Aramis, in almost every single HRD picture I saw, they misidentified Zambrano as Aramis.
they also Pedroia, Justin not Dustin
they also called Pedroia, Justin not Dustin
Sounded so nice they had to say it twice?
Yes, but they at least only messed his name up by one letter. Aramis and Zammy look nothing alike. It made me think they were like, “Eh, all Hispanic Cubs players are the same.”
no fc the fingers forgot to type all what the brain sent it.
the fingers are tired and the brain is fried
Big Z = big
Aramis = not
It’s pretty easy.
Or the fingers tried but the brain was fired.
Red Sox are on the road and we are getting a freaking heatwave starting tomorrow. Gotta love summer
Or the brain tried but the fingers were fired
I’m thinking about going on a Holliday
And just to think…once upon a time Holliday was doing that just a few miles from my house in our little A-ball stadium.
Ian, I think ARod’s girfriend had a few things to say about that.
Or, like ARod, are you thinking about going on a holiday! Celebrate!
And to think that NYC Police has sharpshooters up there for every game
Tex: Hat tip. Same idea, wittier than me.
I don’t know that I’d agree with that…
Nate!
OK, since it’s just me in here, I can say it: Kinsler is hot.
Buck, McCarver – Still annoying
Gee, that mask slipping must’ve been distracting.
someone give some food to SJP, she looks like if the wind blows she might fall over
“It’s a fallacy to think that pitchers get it exactly where they want it all the time.”
WHO THINKS THAT? SERIOUSLY?
DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ
I’m so conflicted…
I just wanted him to hit a single. Anything more would have been uncivilized
I’m conflicted too….
Jeter – clutching his way into an out and 2 runners stranded.
i’m guessing Pedroia is done with Kinsler coming in
Just a bit late, but yes, Kinsler is VERY hot.
Well now if the AL wins it, only one Skanks player has a chance for MVP and I find it highly unlikely he’d win it either
If Rivera somehow manages to save the game, you better believe they’ll give him the MVP.
