What a play! Hate to give a Dodger props but Martin did one hell of a job catching that short hop.

So the AL only has Sherril left before they'll have to use Kazmir.

Uggla with the chance to be a hero in the end, this is perfect.

And Uggla strikes out. In comes Sherril to face Gonzales with home field advantage in the World Series on the line!

I want to hear "WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IT HURTS INSII-IIDE!!"
And then have Lincecum emerge from the bullpen.

I feel bad for him. The Marlins were in town playing the Dodgers last week, so the local paper had one of those space filler side stories on him that was pretty good. Apparently his dad used to take him on three hour train trips from Ohio or somewhere like that just to see the Yanks (they were originally from NY), and he was saying it was their shared dream to see Uggla play on the Bronx stadium field. Ouch, welcome to the nightmare, dad. I don't want the AL to lose but if they do, I hope it is with Uggla hitting a walkoff homer.

They should have a rule where the 2 closest teams from each league hosting the game ( in this case the Mets and Yanks) each supply whatever pitcher is starting the game after the break so there is a fresh arm that can go long once all the pitchers are used

Nothing. They just showed him looking bored. I'm sure he's also getting worried that another tie game fiasco is becoming very possible as the AL only has Kazmir left. Another tie would be hilarious! Would they flip a coin for home field? |

How about a designated "Goat of the First Half". If there are no more pitchers left, then you put in the GOFH, who pitches until the game ends, no matter how long it goes. I nominate Barry Zito for the NL

Fan selected, of course. AL fans pick the NL goat. NL fans pick the AL goat. Can't wait to see both such selected players give a room full of reporters the bird.

They keep talking about Francona having Kazmir on a pitch count and then not letting him go back out there. Well, if it goes 15-16 innings (and I am definitely rooting for it) what are the options?
A - Move Kazmir to the field and have a position player pitch? (The Red Sox have been accused of messing up the Mets 1st-round picks' arm by making him throw from catcher pre-draft.) B - Tell Kazmir to start lobbing BP Pitches that don't strain his arm? C - Get an exemption from Selig and bring in a previous pitcher? D - Home Run Derby? E - Call it a tie again? (Homefield?) F - Start with a runner on 3rd or some crazy scheme? Wow - Hahaha Uggla. God hates you. |

I didn't even think of this earlier on my list - I'm pretty sure in Boston games can't start an inning after 2am or something like that. Does NY have a similar rule? I mean, they simply couldn't suspend the game right?
McCarver is starting (well, increasingly so) to annoy me. Continually talking about how Francona will say enough is enough and not send Kazmir back out. Well then, what is the plan Tim? Would Francona stop the game? He clearly doesn't have that authority. |

So what about this?
If it's a tie...the World Series goes 2-2-1-1-1. First two in the park of the team with the best record, second two in the park of the other. Game 5, if necessary, in the park of the team with the best record. Game 6, if necessary, in the other team's park. Game 7...Yankee Stadium. Wrigley if the Yankees make the World Series, some place like Kaufman if both the Cubs *and* the Yankees make the World Series. Flip a coin before the game to determine who the "home" team is. |

Got out of it with one good pitch...I hope it ends here at the bottom of the 15th. Exciting game though.

I wonder if these errors for Uggla will have a lasting effect. He hasn't fielded a ball cleanly in a while. Not likely to happen but could be interesting to see if he goes Chuck Knobloch the rest of the year.

Anyone else have a bad feeling that the AL is going to pull this out this half-inning with all the talk of "what happens in the 16th or 17th with Kazmir" chatter?

The idea isn't that bad - it's increased the interest in these games and the players are clearly all playing much harder than they used to. How hard is it to announce a contingency plan though? After 15 innings, it's a tie, and home field goes to the league that wins the most games in interleague play, or whatever. And as it stands, this game isn't a disaster...this is the best All-Star game ever. Maybe in any sport. Last edited by molson : 07-16-2008 at 12:32 AM. |
