We are due

stevek · July 15, 2008 8:58AM

Nothing since 1996 - almost hard to believe.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 9:35AM

Which two words fit the NL best?

Seniur Circuit or Junior Varsity?

bigfische · July 15, 2008 9:46AM

fu-kudome does not belong in our starting lineup.

joestalin · July 15, 2008 10:52AM

some one wake me up when there is scoring.

bigfische · July 15, 2008 10:55AM

wake up

TheVon · July 15, 2008 12:59PM

I feel bad for Uggla.

thegemmintman · July 15, 2008 1:06PM

That was an uggla 10th inning, but the AL couldn't take advantage of it.

Connecticoin · July 15, 2008 1:07PM

Nice play by Tejada.

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 1:15PM

I really hope that after the last tie a few years back that there is a plan in case a situation like that unfolds again. We may be about to find out.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 1:19PM

I think there have been several "questionable" calls at 2nd base tonight (for both sides).

TheVon · July 15, 2008 1:24PM

And a questionable call at home plate now too.

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 1:32PM

I agree w the call @ home, but hte call @ 2nd was wrong (though we got to see several slow motion replays close up & the ump only got to esee it once live).

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 1:32PM

Uggla strikes out! Man was a rough night for him.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 1:39PM

<< <i>I agree w the call @ home, but hte call @ 2nd was wrong (though we got to see several slow motion replays close up & the ump only got to esee it once live). >>

I more or less agree with the call at home - my first instinct was that he was out because the throw beat him and the tag looked good, but on the replay it looked like the tag was actually too high and that Navarro got his foot on the plate first.

I don't think I could be an umpire.

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 2:01PM

Bad bounce for Uggla. Man, what did he do in a past life? IMHO this 3rd error should have been scored a hit.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 2:02PM

Yeah, brutal hop, brutal night for Uggla.

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 2:06PM

TheVon, did your TV just freeze & go to commercial? Mine did.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 2:08PM

Nope, I haven't had anything like that happen. Quentin choked and then they cut for commercial though.

What do you think, are they gonna call this game a tie after one more inning?

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 2:22PM

I don't know man. I would love to go to bed but how the hell can I when I've watched this long? It's like in poker when you're pot commited. *sigh* I will say I am very pleased and think it is classy of Terry Francona to have tried not to use Kazmier.

TheVon · July 15, 2008 2:28PM

If the AL doesn't score here (in the bottom of the 15th) I think they either have to call it a tie or Francona is going to have to send Kazmir out to right field and have someone young, like Sizemore, pitch until he coughs up a run.

This has been a great game to watch even if it's been way too long. But it also has highlighted a lot of the problems with the All-Star game as it's structured now.

MantleMarisFordBerra · July 15, 2008 2:37PM

A.L. wins again. Man am I tired...what a game. I'm goin' to bed!!

TheVon · July 15, 2008 2:39PM

What an outstanding game! That was fun. Thanks for chatting with me MMFB! Now back to the Sox/Yankees rivalry?

stevek · July 15, 2008 10:42PM

I knew mentioning "Met" would jinx it.

stown · July 16, 2008 1:20AM

Pitcher IP PC H ER BB K
Lidge (L) 0.2 19 2 1 1 0

That's the Lidge PHI fan should start getting use to.

Good chatting w/ you too, at least there was someone up watching that marathon with me. And as far as the Sox/Yankees rivalry, don't you mean Yankees/Sox?

Tonight I will stand beside my fellow Met Fan!
