Homerun Derby/Allstar game

Anyone gonna watch the Homerun derby tonight or the All star game? Go B Rob! (Our only rep from the O's this year)

I'll be watching.

Alex Rios is our only entry, but at least he's in the derby.

Here's my dream game - the NL scrape together 2 runs off Josh Beckett early but AL gets a pinch-hit grand slam from Alex Rios in the 5th. Papelbon comes in in the 9th to save it out and gets rocked for a 3-run HR by Brian McCann. NL wins, McCann is MVP.

Is rios a starter? I don't think roberts is. :|

Fuck no - I don't think there has been a Blue Jays position player all-star game starter since the World Series years. Maybe Delgado in the early 2000s but I don't think so. I don't even think Rios will fare very well in the Derby but I'm optimistic.

Reyes will steal 3rd 5 times.
Mark my words.

That, or he won't run out a ground ball 4 times.

Very true.
Remember when Birdman was flapping his beak two weeks ago about being in second?

I've got second place on lockdown. Be prepared for me to sweep you when we get back August!

Pfft....
Maybe the six week4paug guys want to make it interesting for the rest of the season....

Nobody is gonna catch Kerrigan at this rate - but second place gets you a bye in the first round of the playoffs, which would be nice.

Right.
We can do something small for whomever finishes first after regular season out of the six of us.
If there is interest.
