Thoughts before the All-Star game starts.

Ahh - the cynic in me returns....

1) Fantasia - you're not good. Why did you have to sing so slowly? We didn't enjoy it.

2) Muhammed Ali. He just doesn't look good anymore. The Parkinson's has really affected him. In some ways I feel sorry for him - to me it was sad watching him trying to show his moves and play-punching at Jeter. But I never saw him box - so I may just be a cynic.

3) Three ceremonial first pitches?! What's up with that?

will the game ever start? i turned it on 45 minutes ago, and still no first pitch!

Ichiro just got the first hit. I wonder if Piazza tipped him off as to what was coming

<< <i>Ichiro just got the first hit. I wonder if Piazza tipped him off as to what was coming >>



i thought the same exact thing as I watched the first 6 runs score..

It's been sensationalized moreso than last year's.

Marc, this time .... IT COUNTS

Hey, Ruben Stoddard. Just so you know - your 15 minutes are long expired - and even those people who cared about you a few years ago don't anymore.

I've heard of people having a lot of time on their hands, but 14 years?

This thread would have had a lot more responses 14 years ago if georgebrett had posted it.

Now that's a good zinger. LOL

Coinstartled has done this a few times before, brought back a necro-thread. I don't know what most here do for a living and I don't want to know, but if I had to guess what Coinstartled's profession is, it might be a mortician.

The HR Derby was exciting!

Next time he is banned he needs to come back as Lazarus2018. No one has the grave digging skills he has when it comes to resurrecting zombie threads. He is the Richie Hebner of the forum. Impressive

I had to think about it for a second...Hebner was a grave digger, right? LOL

It’s been rattling around in my head for the last 40 plus years or so waiting to come out. I think your Mr Hand might be on to something

Well, i think i should get an assist for helping to bring out the important point in your head about Hebner...now immortalized forever in the CU forum...or at least until some bigger corporation buys them out and decides to delete the forum. LOL

Had to look up Hebner. The name sounded familiar!
