LowerCaseRepublican Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) I hope Guillen purposely puts Mariano Rivera in the 6th inning just to hear people complain. Baseball Tonight crew (namely Phillips) made a point of having him close the 9th. "No respect to Bobby Jenks," though. That's because Jenks doesn't know how to pitch in high pressure situations when an important game is on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackTalkThai Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) Win the World Series, then Jimmy can pick whoever he wants. Â No offense to Guillen but Leyland is too respectful of a manager for that. He wouldn't punish deserving players from opposing teams just so he could take undeserving players from his own team.

I'm calling bulls*** on that and we all know any manager would take his players as a reward for what they've done.

JackTalkThai Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) He plays for the Tigers and Ozzie was picking the rosters. Isn't that enough reason? Â Oh hey I understood that, that's why I asked for a reason "besides the fact that his coach was the guy picking the team". Â I also understand that nepotism looks and feels great to those within "the family". Â Your team won the World Series and you deserve congratulations for that. As it stands now, this is just one of the perks of winning. I just think it needs some tweaking. Like taking the decision out of the one manager's hands and handing it to the all of the managers of the two leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays for the Twins, whose fans couldn't even get Mauer in as a starter. I don't think Liriano is going to make it, but hey, I could be wrong. He definitely deserves it though.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The 'Stros got 1 (Berkman) but show me anybody else who is putting up the kinds of numbers that should be there for the NL from the 'Stros -- ones that could oust anybody in there. Â The only person for the Sox that you could make an argument for not being there is Buehrle but everybody else is deserving. If anybody complains about snubs in the AL -- for f***'s sake Mark Freaking Redman got in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry&JimmyRocked Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Buehrle is NOT an all star this year. Verlander should have gone over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
