Milkman delivers

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Probably one of the few I wouldn't let sign it, that's for damn sure. Haha, just imagine yourself in a line to get the jersey signed. There's Politte, Marte, and Walker at the table. Cliff and Damaso sign it and just as Walker reaches to sign it, you pull it away and say "no thanks." That would be hilarious.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) The thing I'm most curious about is the SP of the game for the AL, and I'm pretty sure we don't find that out until later in the week. Also, Milkman Delivers deserves a little dap. This was his idea to have an All-Star game thread. It'll really keep things all in one place on the topic everyone's going to want to talk about. Just had the idea after seeing the trade thread. Thought it'd keep the place a little neater. I completely agree with this.

QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) I dont like the Schmidt trade because i dont want to give up our farm for a guy past his prime,but i will say this the cuban connection MUST GO iam tired of seeing walks walks and a blast so if iam KW i would go after AJ Burnett and make a run at Billiy Wagner and somehow trade Contreras and marte and some prospects. I remember people saying that Chavez won't get back to his norm, but he's just about there now. Just saying that some players are proven talents and you can't judge them on a small sample size.

RIPPPPPPPPPPPPP 'EM!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) Even worse, if he's chosen for the all-star game, he gets a bonus from the Rangers that will more than offset his fine, and he still gets paid his salary during the time he's suspended. Therefore, the Rangers lose their best pitcher and a lot of money, and Rogers loses a part of his All-star bonus. I'm fairly certain that he won't get chosen anymore. He's not from an East Coast team and he's not that popular. This incident will just make it really hard for him to get into the game. I doubt he'll be there.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Jurassic is the man for sure. However, I said it in the chat, and I'll say it here. I guess Gammons hasn't heard what Carl thinks of him. What did Everett say about Gammons? If it was anything about being an old, red-sox-loving bastard that is ignorant in the sport of baseball, then he was right.

The Sox won a game in Oakland, my friends. Let us concern ourselves with that. Here, I'll get us started: HOUSE OF HORRORS MY ASS, LEAGUE LEADER IN WINS, CAREER HIGH IN WINS, EASY SAVE FOR DUSTIN, PERFECT INNING FOR POLITTE, CREDE IS CLUTCH, AND THE OFFENSE WAKES UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Garland. You have proven to be a great pitcher this year, and are a lock for the ASG. For this, I thank you. You made the Cubs look like assholes for trading you for a marginal reliever. For this, I praise you.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG JON WITH LUCKY NUMBER 13! EAT s***, OAKLAND. IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME THAT YOU PARTAKE IN THE CONSUMPTION OF s***.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS A WIN IN OAKLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 DOWN!

When's the last time Uribe had a hit? Yikes, I'm starting to think he'll never put it together again. Jesus, does he suck right now at the plate.

Holy s***, something is afoot in Oakland. I don't even know what to say or think after that just happened.

After seeing Politte blow through those three batters, I want to see him go out there for the 9th.

I can't even remember the last time Pods tried to bunt. I honestly cannot remember it.

Alright, now try to score some more runs, get Politte out there for the 8th, and then Hermanson for the 9th. God willing, things will go right for once. Take one from Oakland and I'm happy.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease don't give that run back! God, just win this game. Garland really has to step this s*** up.

SWEET SWINGIN' JOE CREDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Offense has more work today again. These are the worst games, the ones where you keep letting the other team right back in it. If Garland gets another lead, he better be able to hold it next time. So frustrating...

And we're tied again. Real impressive, Jon. That didn't take very long at all. God, I f***ing hate Oakland.

Bases loaded, nobody out. They take the lead and this game is probably over.

Garland's giving it right back, I hate this s***. Perfect timing to give up the first walk.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Why's Willie playing? Wille can't hit Willie can't steal No problem with Willie starting, he seems perfect for the role he has. Timo, on the other hand, shouldn't even be on the team. The most he should do is come into a game with a ridiculous lead.

Psst, hey Pauly, nobody hits homeruns off of Saarloos. Just to let you know.

Thank God, 3-2. Frank's second or third non-homerun hit this year, haha.
