I had no idea Admin Bowa was managing The NL All Star Team.

He's not.

I see we have Stephen Hawkings as a member of this board :banghead

 

THe point is Trader Jack has showed Bowa like managerial skills tonight and is just as much to blame as Clemens. He easily could have stopped the bleeding twice after three runs. First taking him out, you're not trying to get 7 out of clemens and then getting the intentional walk on Soriano.

It's still an exhibition game. You let him finish the inning. It's what you do.

shutout inning by Kolb, nice going

once Mulder gets taken out the NL will start scoring runs like crazy, especially if they bring in Lilly

o of course man he should have had him out of there after the first HR

Loaiza will be coming sometime, and Randy Johnson in the 3rd I think.

Berkman to leadoff the NL 2nd.

Berkman grounds out to Giambi. 1 gone

Berkman lines out to first

Kent lines out to second, Larkin to pinch hit

2 gone for Larkin.

Kent sucks. Bring in Loretta.

Kent is not good at all. Barry was right, that is why he pounded the crap out of him.

Jack, put Larkin at second!

lol....knowing how Jack is, he could do it lol

Mulder out likely, Loaiza in for the AL.

Kolb out, Johnson in for the NL.

Here's the AL rotation:

 

Mark Mulder, the A's left-hander who was tabbed as the AL's starter on Monday, will pitch the first two innings of the contest.

 

Following Mulder will be Chicago's Esteban Loaiza, Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia, New York's Javier Vazquez and Toronto's Ted Lilly, each of whom will throw one inning to take the game through six innings.

 

The seventh and eighth innings will belong to the relievers, as Minnesota's Joe Nathan, New York's Tom Gordon and Anaheim's Francisco Rodriguez will combine to throw two frames.

 

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who leads the AL with 32 saves, will pitch the last inning if the National League comes to bat in the ninth.

Oh come on, you wanted Jack to yank Clemens mid-inning in front of his home crowd and family and friends? It's the freaking All Star Game.

 

You don't intentionally walk someone in the 1st inning for the same reason.

Oh my god it's the all star game! You said it yourself, their's plenty of other pitchers you have that are ready and capable of pitching. He just gave up a three run jack(Yeah I'm sure he is really proud Admin of that, maybe his family would want another three for good measure). You have an entire lineup of capable hitters ahead of you and your confidence is shot and you know you don't have a few more innings to redeam yourself. Hell yes you take him out. Don't complain about Clemens giving this game up if you would have kept him in. If you think getting one more out before being taken out was going to redeem him in his hometown than wow. Take him out, stop the bleeding.

 

Who cares if it's an allstar game? It's the freaking pitcher coming up and you have a superstar in front of you. Oh yeah this is so hard to make.

 

If you're going to go after Clemens and then say that Mckeon is not to blame based on the fact that it's an all star game, then wow.

Jack, put Larkin at second!

Barry pounded the crap out of him because Kent shoved him when Bonds was sticking up for another teammate

Note to NL All Stars: WE NEED TO WIN!
