The All Star Game

IMG_6263

The Yanks are 44-44 and there’s a Reggie Jackson joke in there but I’m stumped to pull it off.

The All-Star Game.

Pomp, circumstance, etc.

Never mind the ego trip:

Let’s Go Base-ball!

Game, please

Boom

Put Edgar in first

Could someone tell me why the AL teams are wearing Home uniforms in an NL ballpark? Why did the NL bat first? Why is there a DH? And why is AL listed on the bottom on the TV score (which is usually the road team).

Fuck ortiz. The old guys on my softball time have been talking about the Yankees being sellers for weeks. A Tribe fan wants Miller badly. On another note. Too bad Teix's last year is pretty much a bust. Love Did.

I seemed to have missed some rule change

[4] AL is the home team because they are doing three NL stadia in a row for some stupid reason.

8 Evil Empire   ~  Jul 12, 2016 7:45 pm

[7] thanks! I was thinking it must be for winning last year (which would be incredibly dumb).

Actually it's four in a row, Cinncy last year, SD now, then Miami and the gNats. MLB needs a proctologist to find its head.

Rough ERA for Cueto. I wonder if the two Royals had some inside dope on him.

Buh, bye, Big Poopi

That scene with Ortiz makes me want to vomit. He's a nice guy so it's fine that he juiced. Phony baloney.

I can't believe I'm watching this crap.

15 rbj   ~  Jul 12, 2016 9:00 pm

Nothing else going on RIYank. But a storm is coming my way so I might need to cut out early. AAA game tomorrow. Those guys want to shine.

16 rbj   ~  Jul 12, 2016 9:06 pm

And the satellite feed is going. Night all.

17 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 12, 2016 11:25 pm

Too bad Miller shat the bed. At least Dellin impressed. Good win for the AL.

18 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 12, 2016 11:29 pm

Did any of youse guys notice that Rachel Platten was wearing an outfit that was totally inappropriate for the songs she was singing. One being our national anthem.

Her get up:
Black leather hot pants (bare legs)
Black, nine-inch, S&M inspired (strapped) heels

She looked hot, but maybe too hot?

19 RIYank   ~  Jul 13, 2016 5:12 am

Dude, I never figured you for the "respect our national anthem!" type.

20 rbj   ~  Jul 13, 2016 6:23 pm

AAA all star game. Ben Gambel & Gary Sanchez starting.

Well more thunder storms knocking Directv out

[18],[19] I have quite a lot to say on that topic, but here is not an appropriate place to discuss it. Maybe if I have time, I can give it some Serious Consideration (certainly need to update my posts if nothing else)...

23 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 15, 2016 3:59 am

[19] [22] Your are absolutely right. Actually, I would sit for the anthem (and I have at the Stadium), but if I was invited to sing it on national TV, I don't think I would wear shorts, flip-flops and a Grateful Dead T-shirt.

I've been (M)ad man for 30 years (including work in PR) and I teach executives how to give professional presentations. Appearance is paramount. So that's all I was gripin' about.

BTW, I am supposed to be related to Francis Scott Key on my mom's side.
