    First!

    I still hold out hopes that some day, we will produce an ASG chatter as epic as the 2008 incarnation.

    CHECKLIST VERSION 1.0 (remember, the new rule is that once the game starts, we have no reposting of the checklist except for on new pages, or if Joe Buck sends out a flurry of cliches so large that a ton of things needs to be checked off).

    This is a lock. Also expect to hear the McCutcheon all star saga story.

    Do have to admit, the MLB Net pregame is great, since everybody is having fun. Really shows the whole "All-Star Game is a fun celebration" to life, just having everybody talk to each other and goofing off.
    21. you got a STEAGLES? you're gonna need a STEAGLES. posted on July 12, 2011 at 10:51 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    what's the over/under on the start time? fox's coverage doesn't start until 8, and with this being some kind of "event", there'll surely be a brooks and dunn performance, but what are the odds this thing actually gets started by, say, 8:35 EST?


    also, i just saw the moneyball trailer on MLBN.
    22. Gamingboy posted on July 12, 2011 at 10:58 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    I heard it'll be around 8:30 or 8:40, depending on any "surprises" that might be unleashed on us.

    The Primer Chimp has a ASG thread up now. Damn him. Stupid monkey. Ignore it, everyone, the Chimp has clearly just gone bananas.

    Due to the physical and mental exhaustion of watching Derek Jeter pursue 3000 hits, I will not be watching tonight's All Star game.

    I had no idea the game was in Arizona until they introduced Upton.

    Well, it makes sense NOW.

    Joe Buck could cut down on the All-Star Game player introductions by just naming the seven guys who didn't make either team.
