    I’m already uphappy and pouting with the All Star 1st base selection. So help me God, they better win today!

  2. 2009 July 5 at 1:16 pm

    @Jennie: I know….that’s just ridiculous. I am happy thought about Pedey overtaking Kinsely for 2nd base and JayBay just killing the rest of the OF competition.

    COME ON LESTER…..bring us that much needed WIN!

    and please Joe Maddon, make Wakefield an all-star and you’ll gain a thousand more fans.

    @Sam says : Tazawa !!: Teixeira beat out Youkilis. But Pedey beat Kinsler at 2B.

    Jeter, Longoria, Bay, Ichiro, Hamilton

    Bah, damn Yankees. Although I tend to sway towards my NL roots at the ASG, I do love my Sox.

    Now then, let’s avoid the sweep, please.

    @Jennie:
    Seriously, I think that effectively sums up just how knowledgeable and interested these voters are when they select an outfielder who’s spent the majority of the season thus far on the DL.

    @Jennie: Hamilton ? What a joke, hes injured.

    And, in other news, Federer finally defeats Roddick: 5-7, 7-6. 7-6. 3-6, 16-14 (!). It’s a shame—Roddick would have likely won had it not been for choking in the second-set tiebreaker.

  11. 2009 July 5 at 1:31 pm

    It’s a travesty. I hope Youk has a monster game today.

    @lone1c: I was rooting for Roddick. *sigh

    @lone1c:
    Do you remember that recent tournament when Roddick was berating the line judge because of the weather? I don’t know where it was or if it’s normal to raise concerns over weather like that, but he was acting like a dick.

  14. 2009 July 5 at 1:35 pm

    Game on. Play ball. Go Lester! GO RED SOX!

  15. 2009 July 5 at 1:36 pm

    Ugh, it’s 3AM here.. think I might just get the first inninig in

    @LauraLovesBrando: Actually, I don’t recall that. (I largely follow the Grand Slam tournaments and the Davis Cup.) But neither Roddick nor Federer will actually win many humility contests.

    @LauraLovesBrando: Um, at least it wasn’t someone who has been on suspension for most of the season. I’m OK with Hamilton.

    @Jennie: Manny making the All-Star Team would have been a travesty. It probably would have been game-changing—MLB would have to change the voting rules after that.

  19. 2009 July 5 at 1:39 pm

    Nice inning Les….no let’s hope our BATS get to WORK!

    @Jennie: The “um” not for you, Laura, but just for the intense relief I had for not seeing the suspended player included in the roster.

    @lone1c: But he was leading in votes for awhile…

    Green is playing. I think that signifies a win.

  23. 2009 July 5 at 1:41 pm

    We appear to be the Phillies today..

    Why is it that NESN has kids from MA and CT read the lineups on Rhode Island Day?

    @Jennie:
    I’m with you on that. If Manny had been legitimately selected, it would have been a farce, but it seems like with Hamilton’s selection, it’s just furthering all these claims of fans not being as concerned or erudite enough to adequately determine such things.

    But it is the All-Star Game, so much ado about nothing..

  32. 2009 July 5 at 1:44 pm

    There’s our allstat.

    I’m not certain how the whole selection process works with managers and players, but we can assume that Youk will be there anyway, right?

    After the atrocity of the last two games, do they think they can re-buy our love with such stellar–what’s the word–offense?

  44. 2009 July 5 at 1:49 pm

    Ahhhhhhh wonderful.

    @Sam says : Tazawa !!: On the bench. The roster is 32 players for the All-Star Game, and usually includes about three or four 1B’s.

    @ecl1958: The love of Sox fans can easily be bought with clutch hits, gritty defense, heads-up baserunning, and lights-out pitching.
