Jones vs Kershaw... this should be interesting

o

The American League is on pace to win this game by a score of 24-18.

Oh great... Jones gets Kershaw...

Jones to Cano... runner is safe.

I think Schoop or Hardy would have gotten him.

And yet the announcers (I think it was Reynolds) said Cano's throw was perfect. It was a poor throw that pulled the catcher's glove a few feet to the right of the plate. The extra time needed to come back to his left cost the out.

Miguel Cabrera Still Hurting: 'Muscles not Functioning'

(By Jorge L. Ortiz)

Minneapolis, MN: O "There are times when I feel good, but there are always muscles that are tightening, muscles that are not functioning properly,'' Cabrera said in Spanish. "It's part of the process. The same thing is happening to Justin Verlander, but the difference is that he pitches every five days, so you don't see it as frequently."

That's what's wrong with me!!

Note to Jayson, he wasn't the one that hit the 2 run HR

On a walkoff TD.

I still ask... Why didn't Kershaw START this game?

[OFFNY]

o

I want to see a manager make a challenge during an exhibition game ...... just to see the expression on the umpires' faces when they do so.

I still ask... Why didn't Kershaw START this game?

Ummm favoritism?

Not that hard to figure out.

I still ask... Why didn't Kershaw START this game?

WhoTF is better in EITHER league?

[Orioles0615]

Because Mike Matheany ( I know just screwed up his last name)

Cardinal manager.

I also would have loved it if Weaver had gotten ejected from one of the 4 All-Star Games that he managed.

Kershaw's wind-up reminds me a bit of Ubaldo's (different results, but).
