AirScott Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/allstar05/ne...tory?id=2105087 my question is, why wouldn't he have gone? will he really be much of a distraction? what's left to ask him about the incident? "All things considered Kenny, would you do it again?" all that will happen is when he's brought in to pitch, there will be some boos, and maybe Joe Buck will have to take a second to explain why he's being booed. like he said, he's an All-Star and deserves to go.

rangercal Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I pose a question for everyone: If rogers did not go, who goes? Do any of you think Freddy would have had a good shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He is having a very solid season. Hard to believe he is 22. Being the hometown guy he should get in. I have no love for the tigers but... for the sake of tiger fans rogers should step down. Rogers= asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Rogers should of stepped down. His apology means s*** now because he isnt taking any responsibility for it. Its a joke to baseball that 1 day a man can commit a crime for no reason and than next day get paid money to play in an all star game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 INCREDIBLE. The man should get showered with boos. Oh well... he'll come back to earth in the 2nd half. Then we'll see if he still has All-Star #'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirScott Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) One of the biggest stories of the AS Game will now be how bad of a reaction Rogers gets. why? it won't consume more than 1 minute total. the announcers will probably ignore it the way the NBA guys did when Kobe was booed at the All-Star game, so they wouldn't be able to drag out the story more than it already has... scratch that. 1st & 10 just came on, and these people are making it a distraction. damn hypocrites, he apoligized, now it's on YOUR shoulders to make this thing go away. this is such a non-story (now I'm the hypocrite, I started this thread). he's going to the all-star game because he was voted in by the players because of the season he's having, and it's not like his ERA rose or he was charged a loss for attacking the cameramen. I would have mocked the arguements these people could make about this situation, Skip Bayless and Woody Paige just made more of a mockery of it themselves.

Balance Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Francona shouldn't play him unless he's used up every other pitcher. Maybe not even then. Make one of the Twins or A's all-star position players throw a couple innings before Rogers pitches.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 It was his hatred for the press that got him into this mess...why in the f*** would he want to go to the All Star game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I have no problem with him going to and playing in the AS game. I would be for a rule that does not allow a suspended player (or pending appeal) to be eligible for such events, but since there is not, there is no reason he should not be there. What he did was stupid. He has to face that music and seems to be doing so and is not ducking the media. It takes more of a man to face what he has done than to hide from it. That said, I do think it sucks that basically his fine from the action will be covered by the money he will make by making the AS game, but what can you do? It was in his contract and he was voted to the team. Sometimes we learn more from the dumb things we do than when all is going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
