All Star Game

I personally can not wait for the upcoming All Star game. I think it will be a low scoring game that will come down to pitching and defense in the end. The NL has a strong staff featuring, Ubaldo Jimenez, Roy Halladay, Josh Johnson,and Tim Lincecum to name a couple. They also have plenty of power of the bench, including 3 first baseman,( Votto, Howard, Gonzalez) not to mention Albert Pujols as the starter.

On the AL side, the starters are solid all through the field. Jeter might actually hit last!( Hows that for an all star game lineup?) And keep a look out for the AL's big 4 lefty pitchers. Cliff Lee,( who will still represent the Mariners) Jon Lester, young ace David Price, and South Sider Matt Thornton.

Some snubs i thought were deserving:

  • 2 South Siders- Alex Rios ( .305 14 HR 47 RBI) Paul Konerko ( .299 20 HR 63 RBI)
  • LAA-Jered Weaver ( 8-4 2.97 ERA)
  • SD- Matt Latos (10-2 2.45 ERA0
  • Det- Brennan Boesch ( .345 .605 SLG0
One last note, I am glad to see more middle relief pitchers head to Anaheim. They deserve more respect and attenttion for the role they play for their teams. 3 were chosen this year, Arthur Rhodes(Cin) Matt Thornton (CWS) Evan Meek (PIT)

  2. ThatSportsKId, do you think strasburg should have made it? I don't think he should have, but many experts do. I think Rios should have made it too.

  3. I do believe that Strasburg should have made it. Look, in the allstar game your playing for home field advantage. If im Charlie Manuel, i put him on the roster due to his talent and what he has accomplished in his short time in the majors so far.

  4. I don't think he has accomplished that much. His record is not good and he's only had a couple starts. But thanks for your opinion
