Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

2008 All-Star Game Thread

CLIFF LEE, starting pitcher:  You couldn't make this story up.  Underachieving in 2006, injured and frustrated and humbled and nearly cast aside in 2007 ... dominant in 2008.   In a season when so much has gone wrong, something has gone very right for this guy.

CaptLee_mediumCapt

GRADY SIZEMORE, reserve outfielder:  No longer just a coverboy, he now leads the league in home runs, and he's on pace for 38 stolen bases.  He dives all over the outfield and basepaths and already owns a Gold Glove.  He shows little sign of ever taking himself seriously.  And chicks really, really dig him.

WTF?

He pointed to Ichiro Suzuki, the Seattle Mariners’ wisp of an outfielder, a man who still uses a translator to do interviews with English-speaking reporters – and happens to be baseball’s amalgam of Anthony Robbins and George Carlin. Every year, after the AL manager addresses his team, Ichiro bursts from his locker, a bundle of kinetic energy, and proceeds, in English, to disparage the National League with an H-bomb of F-bombs, stunning first-timers who had no idea Ichiro speaks the queen’s language fluently and making returnees happy that they had played well enough to see the pep talk again.

The tradition began in 2001, Ichiro’s first All-Star appearance, and the AL hasn’t lost a game since. Coincidence?

..... Ichiro was asked how much he believes the speech has contributed to the AL dominance that has stretched more than a decade now.

"I’ve got to say over 90 percent," he said.

Looking at the pitchers again … they’ll avoid Sherrill if they can, because he’s just a token Oriole and not any good. They basically can’t use Kazmir, because he’s a starter who just pitched two days ago.

Soria is a genuine relief ace, so he’ll pitch the 11th and possibly the 12th. After that, it’s Sherrill’s game.

by Jay on Jul 15, 2008 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

Makes sense to me, although you might see them try to sneak an inning out of Kazmir (and I guess Webb for the NL) if they have to go 13.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

Uggla Stinks. Marlins should probably just cut him.

or trade him for the grittiest of all gritty third basemen.

Sizemore grounded into fielder´s choice to first, Young out at home, Quentin to third, Guillen to second.

ACK!! Terrible outcome.

This actually is kind of a fantastic way for a game to end.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen two straight force-outs at the plate in a walk-off situation.

is someone summoning the spirit of Fausto? I don’t think they could pound the ball into the ground any harder.

by wendigo on Jul 16, 2008 12:05 AM EDT reply actions  

Rivera already has it in the bag, given the circumstances probably.

Dawgs By Nature - Find out why Pittsburgh still sucks.

by Chris Pokorny on Jul 16, 2008 12:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

nah he gave up a couple of hits in 1.2 innings w only 2 SOs against all star bench.
cliff pitched 2 innings, 1 hit, 3 SOs vs best of starting lineup.

if rivera would win over lee, it would be atrocious.

by wendigo on Jul 16, 2008 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

Right, but the MVP usually goes to the guy who did something at the end of a game, assuming the game is close.

Awesome result for a Twins hater. The pathetic weakness with which Morneau hit the ball was surpassed only by his total lack of speed running to first.

I was just thinking how awesome it would be if they ran out of players again. Maybe Grady’s plan for that last AB was a little more diabolical than we gave him credit for.
