I love the White Sox but I honestly have a hard time watching games when they're not involved now a days.

No question.

1 pitch.. Fly out to left... Announcers didn't even talk about him.. Seemed like they were going to go down to Ken to talk about Wainwright throwing a meatball to Jeter during his AB

Rigged for jeter. Hmmmm

Duh he was throwing meatballs. I knew it when he hit the double.

Jose didn't even give the announcers time to talk about him.

Espn had been talking about him all day for whatever reason so that's nice to see at least.

And bed time.

 

Also, in a game that decides home field in the WORLD SERIES, Adam Wainwright just admitted he gave Jeter a cookie that he turned into a double. f*** this.

Adam Wainright is full of s***. He claims he gave Jeter a cookie on purpose but then says if he knew he was going to hit a double he would have changed his mind.

 

Whatever is the truth, he should be fined/suspended for his comments.

Are we really all surprised that this game was rigged for Jeter? Lol

Blame social media haha. Fox ****ing said it on air

Duh he was throwing meatballs. I knew it when he hit the double.

Did he intentionally throw a meatball to Cabrera too? Either way, he's full of s***.

Oh relax. It's a f***ing ASG. Not the World Series

I must say, I was thinking it was all too coincidental that Jeter happened to get the one pitch that he has always been able to handle.

The replay they showed it wasn't a meatball but a fastball to hit.

 

 

Ya the Miggy one wasn't. Miggy is just Miggy

Oh relax. It's a f***ing ASG. Not the World Series

 

It decides home field advantage FOR the World Series. Kind of a big deal

It was the classic jeter pitch he hit.

Ya I know but he gave him supposedly one hit. f*** it jeter is done. Jeters one hit didn't win the game

I was working. Didn't see any of it.

His comments don't make sense. He claims he threw Jeter a cookie on purpose because he thought he deserved it. If that was the case, why would he publicly admit it? That's not doing Jeter any favors. Then he adds that if he knew he would hit a double he would've changed his mind. So he has so much respect for Jeter that he throws him a cookie but is then surprised that jeter is able to hit it? LOL!

 

He's just disrespecting Jeter with his comments.

Mike Trout MVP.. well deserved. He or Cabrera should of won it anyways. Thank god they didn't give it to Jeter.

Wainwright needs to be banned for life after that. Pete Rose throws games but at least that was for money. Wainwright is throwing games for the sake of Jeter.

Fox ever make a mention of Tony Gwynn or Don Zimmer?

It would have been a nice touch if they mentioned Gwynn. He led off the ASG in Minnesota in 1985.

 

And Zimmer too.

 

It didn't have to be a downer thing, and it wouldn't have taken long.

I have zero problem with Wainwright grooving a pitch to Jeter. The problem is that the All-Star Game shouldn't count. You can't have it both ways. Every team must be represented and 40-year old Derek Jeter can lead off, but game 7 of the WS is on the line. That's silly. An All-Star game should be about the top players and stars being honored, having some fun and showing off their skills to the fans. Just like the other major sports do it.

Sale not doing to hot

 

He entered the game with the lead. He had to give up the tying run in order to have a chance to be the winning pitcher. Offense just waited one inning too long to score.

I agree with you for the most part, but IMO, the MLB ASG is the only all star game i actually tune into. I think these guys actually try at least a little bit for the most part unlike the horrid NFL and NBA all-star games where these guys are basically practicing on live tv. I think they should implement some type of system to keep the AL vs NL relevant like whichever league wins get the next year's ASG at one of their parks, something to keep the game at least a bit interesting, but yea the WS shouldn't be in play in something so irrelevant to it.

Exactly. I still don't get why it was a big deal that the game in Miller Park tied, anyway. I miss when they used to "goof around" and have fun during the All-Star Game.

 

The NHL and NBA do All-Star festivities right. Also, MLB needs to find something other than this conventional HR derby. Did anyone sit through that 4 hours?
