^^^^^hate to correct you, Lillie. They are actually playing on BSPN.....all rights reserved for the Boston Sports and Programming Network. Talk about a monopoly.
^^^^^ That what the BoboSox get when they start an untested rookie against a Major League Baseball team.
-A shit team like Baltimore went in there scored a total of 3 runs won both games. Yankees should sweep the damn series as well. Lay out some Bronx Baseball in Queens and show New York National who the City Diamond Kingpins are.
Been going through the All-Star ballot, and what an eye opener. Usually selected all-stars have combined very good to excellent numbers. Hard to find this year. Averages are way down. Many players will be selected on the basis of past reputation and on media hype. For example, Gary Sanchez has 12 HRs, 35 RBIs with a paltry .201 BA. So, the question is, ‘ Are stats the only measure to pick an All-Star’? Not this year. In fact, as in past years many fans will just stuff the ballot box with their favorite ball players regardless how they perform.
Let’s go Yankees. The underdog Metsies, who lost to the miserable Orioles, will be sky high for their cross-town rivals....according to their manager, Mickey Callaway. Let’s show them what “sky high” looks like!
^^^^ exactly and Hometown fans across the nation will vote for their favorite players regardless of poor or good performance. The AS game has become more of a fans beauty dream contest, than one based upon actual performances, Sad enough....Imo, Fans should get ONE vote, and only One. Players and Coaches should get a vote, in a equation that makes each Player/Coaches Vote count more Fans. Thus the Fans still get to vote, but the real vote would be something like- If 10 Million fans vote, then each Players vote counts for 10, 000,001, thus trumping Fans votes by a small margin, yet enought to turn blind homer fans votes. I think something like that.... Lion: I'm adding this thread to the AS Post....
