That was 01 in Safeco and it was the great Chan Ho Park.

 

Yeah, that's who it was! He served up an 80 mph fastball right down the heart of the plate. I still say he gave that up intentionally.

I know Nathan is in the game.. both those Twins dont belong there.. Hermanson shoulda been in before Nathan, without bias, and I think most would agree.. but Santana isnt having an all star year, thats what I meant

Agreed on both accounts.

No he is a one year wonder.. he may be solid but I seriously doubt he has another 20+ win season with an era in the 2's

ill take that bet

Ok, I think everyone can find something to agree with in this statement...

 

Neither Santana nor Nathan are having the seasons they had last year, and neither of them have numbers that on their own would make them an all star. Their numbers last year are the reasons they are there. Neither one of them really deserves it, but at least 1 of them had to be included.

Agreed on both accounts.

Yeah I still cant get over the fact that Hermanson didnt make it in and Nathan did, thats crap.. but oh well.. we have been represented well so far, hope that it carries over for our other players as well..

ill take that bet

No problem, cuz he wont get that

You are correct sir

I guess it depends on your definition for 1 year wonder. When I think of a 1 year wonder, I think of Estaban Loaiza: 1 great year and a bunch of crappy to mediocre years. While I agree that Santana isn't really as good as he was last year, he's still a damn good pitcher and an ace on many staffs.

It's fun watching Livan pitch, looks like he isn't even trying.

Isn't Jon supposed to pitch the 6th?

Johan earned it in the 2nd half of last year.

Isn't Jon supposed to pitch the 6th?

That's just what Harold Reynolds said he'd do but he's been right so far.

The Rocket is warming...

loaiza is doing pretty well this year

Tek walks with 1 out vs Livan.

Well that guy just got himself escorted out of the allstar game. Smart dude.

That dopey fan saved the NL a run right there

Roberts rips a double, some dumbass Detroit fan intercepts the ball. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

How stupid are you to grab a fair ball at an ALL STAR GAME. There's no way they let you keep that ball, and you're ass is out on the street.

Well.. you dont think going from a 20 game winner and dominating ERA to an almost .500 record with an ERA near 4 isnt a huge drop off? I think it is.. Unless he goes 13-0 with an ERA in the 1's the second half he isnt coming close to what he was last season.. and you gotta look at what he has done before last year.. 12 wins was the high, and i know he was a reliever for a while but still.. Now that he was a full time starter last year maybe he snuck up on some people, but this year he has been FAR from the same.. K's still there though

That dopey fan saved the NL a run right there

 

Bet dollars to doughnuts that he's a Cub fan.

Unless he goes 13-0 with an ERA in the 1's the second half he isnt coming close to what he was last season..

That's basically what he did last season.

Ichiro PH for Damon BTW, he singles, and 2 more score. 5-0 AL! WHOO!

Bet dollars to doughnuts that he's a Cub fan.
