2012 All-Star Game...Pre game Discussion Thread/Home Run Derby Talk

    And all these grudge holding effers can go to hell.

    Boy the Reds are salty at LaRussa....IMO opinion that let's him know he really got to them.

    Jeff Piecoro with a major QQ. Said this was the biggest all-star snub ever lol. Cueto and Phillips were snubbed but 2 other Reds, especially 1 pretty much took their place. They need to not take from Bruce and Chapman.
  • Midstate01
    Bruce shouldn't be on the team. I agree. Chapman Should though.

    that isn't the official team, I thought I92 was asking who we thought it would be or who we wanted to see in it.
  • Ironman92
    You listed 2 more than the AL could get.

    And to be honest I always thought Joey Bats was Joey Votto. Lol

    I'm just pissed because I spent 10 minutes the other day voting for him 25 times. I could've watched pron.
  • Ironman92
    Kipnis and Kinsler look pretty close.

    Ron Coke took his guy I assume.

    You voted....right to bitch!

    It's almost amazing how absolutely loaded in comparison the AL is. They're reserves are in all honesty probably better than the starting lineup of the NL. The Cabrera's, Mauer, Konerko, Kinsler, Andrus, Dunn is just sick. And the first five pitchers could possibly be Verlander, Weaver, Wilson, Sabathia, Price? They could collectively throw a no-no on any lineup

    I was surprised the Pirates got Hanrahan in the All-Star Game. He made it last year, but hasn't been quite as great in the first half of this year. I'm also surprised neither McDonald nor Burnett made it in. I'm not surprised that LaBitch's former team has twice as many people in the game as a team 1.5 games in front of them in the standings, since he's a real c*nt.
  • thavoice
    Great reasoning by LaRussa as to why Cueto isnt going. Blaming Dusty for pitching him sunday.

    Um...dont we see it almost every year where a guy pitches sunday and is named but gets replaced on the roster?

    Lol shut up
  • Ironman92
    Looks like LaRussa grudged Zach Greinke for basically nothing....from last year.

    Jesus I can't stand him.
