2008 All Star Game

by BrianDowningFan on May 26, 2007 2:04 PM PDT

Is anyone watching the Dodger-Cub game today?

I just did a triple take, as the play by play guy said that next year's all star game would be played in Anaheim.

I thought (and everything I have read up to this point) is that it would be at Yankee Stadium?

I mean, I have heard annocers mis-speak, but this is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off.

Maybe because we win so much...

NO ANAHEIM ALL STAR GAME

My money is on the new Mets park for 2010 and then of course PetCo is still waiting its turn, and then Minnesota will have a new park...

I just don't see it.

Not anymore it don't

Selig ditched that provision as it was discovered to be at his discretion and so he therefore discreeted!

BOB is waiting too

Chase Field now, but the Snake Pit is in line too.

I'm still pissed off from the 1989 All Star Game

Chuck Finley was our only pitcher on the team and fucking LaRussa didn't put him in the game at home. Dick!

...Jimmie Reese...

they introduce Ronlad Reagan as a guest announcer at the Top of the First instead of showing Jimmie throw out the First Pitch.

Worst all star snub of all tiem has to be when Wally Joyner got voted in as a starter as a WRITE IN CANDIDATE as a arookie in 1986 and he got one at-bat before being removed as a pinch hitter. That manager died of a brain tumor.

He did indeed die of a brain tumor

And he too was a DICK!

Said manager's closer at the time

died of a brain tumor too.

That should teach anyone to fuck with our LDS 1st baseman. Joseph Smith probably used his seer stones and stovepipe hat to curse the Royals.

What's "LDS?"

by PieceOfAase on May 26, 2007 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions

It is a combination of...

league division series and league championship series...

Actually it is "L"atter "D"ay "S"aints bka Mormons; you know, those dudes that pedal around on bikes wearing a white shirt and tie...

Oh, the Mormons!

They're God's chosen ones, according to that episode on getting into heaven from "South Park."

LaRussa is a Major League Asshole

This thread brought back memories of this vindictive little SOB. Such as:

> Bert Blyleven was 8-2 with a 2.15 ERA at the All-Star break in 1989, and DIDN'T get selected by the SOB.

> Wally Joyner, (11 HR, 57 RBI, .326 avg) didn't get selected by SOB for the 1991 All-Star team.

> Dave Winfield, (18 HR, 57 RBI, .280 avg) also didn't get selected by our one and only SOB

I don't have the patience (somebody can look it up), but I recall inferior pitchers/hitters making the All-Star teams in 1989 and 1991, while Angels got overlooked.

Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!
