GAME THREAD: 2014 All-Star Game

[LocoChris]

Wainwright is probably fixing to be banned for life from MLB.

Or given a significant raise..

I wasn't watching, what was said?

He told some reporter that he grooved a pitch to Jeter.

[TonySoprano]

Classy of the article to bring up Ripken.

YESPN asked the other day who would groove a pitch to Jeter so he could go out with a HR like Ripken.

My wife told me two years ago that I'm flying up if it happens.

They gave Rivera the MVP last year, didn't they?

[LA2]

Is it actually true that Park grooved the pitch for Cal?

Wainwright was hit hard by Miggy (HR) and Trout (Triple) too. Don't think he grooved those.

[TonySoprano]

The "next Jeter" wins MVP. Jeter wishes he had Trout's numbers in his first 3 years.

For the love of everything holy they have to ask Trout about Jeter ??!!!?? Erin Andrews wants a gift bag too.

No it is "supposedly" true. Since the ASG didn't mean home field advantage back then people just claim that. To me Park was trying to get ahead in the count and threw a first pitch fastball. Cal came through in big spots his entire career, I can't stand the people that claim that.

Glad Trout got MVP.

I wonder if after the lights go out in the studios, the broadcasters put their palms up to their foreheads and think, "Thank God its over.. I can stop referring to Jeter somehow in every other sentence."

[LA2]

Derek Jeter "passes the torch on to Trout?"

[ledzepp8]

Congrats on your AS game MVP Mike...now let me ask you about Derek Jeter. Geez can the slob fest be over with already?

And Trout the next Jeter? Haha...Jeter wishes he was Mike Trout. By the end of this season Mike Trout will probably have 30 rWAR...IN THREE SEASONS! Jeter will end up with probably 73 rWAR...in 20 seasons.

Oh no, it's NOT over. TO make sure that "tonight was all about DJ," they now show a whole video about him. Can't stand it anymore--Goodbye Fox.

o

If Kershaw comes out of the game now, that will be too bad, because I would love to seen him strike out Derek Jeter.

I suspect that Kershaw is too proud to give a "freebie" to Jeter ....... or anyone else, for that matter.

You saying he got a freebie in the first?

He might have rabbit, he might have.

HE DID rabbit, HE DID.
