Being a baseball all-star is the worst, at least in every other pro sports all star/pro bowl game everyone gets enough playing time to make the trip worth it heh. Alot of these guys had family flown out, had to get tickets, etc. so their families can see them do nothing or next to nothing :lol

Ichiro is obviously the MVP. If not for his 2 runs the game would be tied. ALL HAIL SEXIRO!

The kinda guy Tejada is, I bet he drives the car for about a week before he donates it to charity.

"It's a nice car. But not as nice as my other one..."
Totally. :lol Tejada gave off a total "yeah, thanks for the car there... whats that, one of them Escorts or K-car or something? My sisters kid is 15 and a half, I'll see if he wants it" vibe about the car, but he was clearly proud and stoked for the win and his play.Ninja Scooter said:

PS: NL sucks, thank god after a half season of Foulke sucking ass Francona doesn't know what a proper closer looks like so he tapped BJ Ryan in the ninth to make the score respectable.

Points about the game
-HOOOOLY SHIT @ Andruw Jones' HR.
-2 Broken Bats by The Wizard of Os. (my heart was in my throat when the bat went right at Oswalt's legs. Oswalt is Prior'd-Proof!!! Take that Prior! Take that Halladay!)
-Clemens going 1-2-3 in the inning.
-Lidge STRIKES OUT THE SIDE ON NINE PITCHES! ALL SWINGING STRIKES...oh, you didn't see that? NEITHER DID ANYONE ELSE...FUCK YOU KENNY ROGERS!

Smoltz only gave up one run... I guess that's good compared to the rest of the NL pitchorz.

His total on the night was 11 pitches, of the 11 though only one was touched and it was foul tipped straight into the catchers glove. Pretty impressive especially considering he had 3 strikeouts. Mora, sweeney, and anderson didn't just whiff on the sliders, they looked foolish heh. After the first 2 sliders i think the catcher just kept on signaling for lidge to keep throwing it :lol.
Yeah I'm very excited about the World Classic. American baseball fans maybe don't realize yet how cool it could become to have a proper best-on-best tourney in a sport when there's several really good nations and bragging rights means something. I have Rich Harden throwing a 3 hit shutout in a quarter final game to get Canada in the top 3!
I'm all for that trade for AJ Burnett. He's risky because of his injury history of course but hell every pitcher is risky and could blow out a joint any minute now. I think Chacin is a good young pitcher but Burnett is a potential awesome #2 starter behind Doc. Batista is a very good closer but makes too much money really.

Thats pretty much a projected roster of the Dominicans for the World Classic. Unstoppable comes to mind.

wtf ARod was born in New York? :lol @ him trying to latch on to the obvious winning team.
The US will have the best squad overall I think simply because they have crazy depth up and down the roster. Consider the US will probably have guys at every position who DIDN'T make the team yet who are nearly as good as anyone who will make the team - injuries, players declining invites and the like won't affect the strength of the US team on paper at all.
The Dominican's have the best offense on paper, but the US has the best overall pitching and an offense that is very close to the the Dominican's IMO.
I think Japan will challenge for 3rd spot with Venezuela and Canada. Yes, I'm picking Canada to make some noise as much with my heart as my head, but sue me. If the other nations have an advantage over the US it's that the players (and fans and media) of the other countries will likely be much more invested in an international tourney and care more in some ways. You could see on TV here in Canada where guys like Jason Bay, Rich Harden and Ryan Dempster were talking about how great it would be to play and how they knew the ppl back home would be excited about it. In an interview at the beginning of the year Gagne was talking about how cool it would be to represent the country in a best on best tournament "like the hockey players".
