We’re probably all still shocked that Bryan LaHair made the All Star Team this year, but tonight is our chance to watch him in action against the league’s best. We’ll also get the chance to see if Starlin Castro can do anything amazing like he did last year, when he tied the ASG record with two stolen bases. Maybe he’ll hit four home runs or something.
If neither Starlin nor LaHair do anything special tonight, at least we’ll have the pleasure of seeing Tony LaRussa manage a game again. It’s possible that he’ll be drunk from the start and might fall asleep in the dugout. That will be worthy of watching, right?Tonight’s lineups:
National League:
Carlos Gonzalez, DH
Melky Cabrera, CF
Ryan Braun, LF
Joey Votto, 1B
Carlos Beltran, RF
Buster Posey, C
Pablo Sandoval, 3B
Dan Uggla, 2B
Rafael Furcal, SS
American League:
Derek Jeter, SS
Robinson Cano, 2B
Joey Hamilton, LF
Jose Bautista, RF
Prince Fielder, 1B
Adrian Beltre, 3B
David Ortiz, DH
Mike Napoli, C
Curtis Granderson, CF
Starting Pitchers are Matt Cain (9-3, 2.62) and Justin Verlander (9-5, 2.58). Pregame festivities start at 6:30 Central and you can enjoy Tim McCarver and Joe Buck on FOX.
Chipper Jones got the second biggest applause next to the KC guy.
My prediction…Matt Cain is only going to last 2 innings before getting knocked out the game.
Did he?
Did you mean “Verlander” and “one inning?”
Nope…I meant Cain and 2 innings.
I’m at stupid little league and I’m missing the whole game.
Hahahahahaha. You suck, Harper.
Good news! I just got a tweet from the Iowa Cubs:
“Josh Vitters and PCL win relay wing eating contest at AAA All-Star Game festivities”

The best they could do was off-key, non-winner Kelly pickler? A high-school choir was not available ?
I kind of can’t believe she’s still kicking around.
I don’t know anything about her still except she has big fake boobs.
IIRC, she MIGHT be the dumbest human alive.
Maybe.
I wouldn’t know…all I know is that she has big fake boobs.
(snaps fingers in front of Doc’s face)
I want Billy Butler to strike out,strike out…
Starlin flies out to right center. Bleh.
over
rated.
I take it you mean Butler,not our beloved Starlin?
NL wins! Suck it Al!
In response to “maybe Castro or LaHair will do something . . ” . . . nope.
Trade them.
