July 11, 200519 yr Author Please tell me this was already pre-made and you just copied and pasted. 850865[/snapback] Actually I made this but cut down on the images here since I had to.. Here's my Original one
July 11, 200519 yr Nice thread :thumbup And I say the AL wins it. Their line up is a beast! 850922[/snapback] yeah I agree
July 11, 200519 yr homer pick - NL But if I had to put money into it, it would be AL. That line-up is just nasty
July 11, 200519 yr the nl would win if they didnt have idiot fans AL will win Dontrelle will do good in his 2 innings
July 11, 200519 yr stadium=marlins stay. marlins stay= fishfan79 happy for life 844185[/snapback] very impressive thread....nice job with all the graphics... by the way...NL wins in come-from-behind fashion
July 11, 200519 yr How did you make those tables? Very impressive thread. NL's lineup can't compare to the AL's. This should be a cake walk for the American Leaguers.
July 12, 200519 yr And the most effort ever put into a single thread award goes to..................... The NL is going to win.
July 12, 200519 yr Author La Russa asks his All-Stars "to care" DETROIT - As their private, 18-passenger business jet, complete with a bed and a walk-in shower, sped east in the early hours of Monday morning, the Cardinals' All-Star contingent, consisting of players, coaches and one manager, relaxed and told stories. Yes, the manager held court and told stories. "It was nice we got to hang out," said All-Star center fielder Jim Edmonds, who set the wheels in motion for the plane that spirited the Cardinals out of San Francisco after they had been saddled with an unpopular Sunday night game for ESPN television. They landed in Detroit after 5 a.m. Monday. "Anytime you get around baseball people, it's special," Edmonds said. "Tony had some stories and (pitching coach Dave Duncan) was talking and they were actually talking about our team and what was going on and if we were happy. We had a good time." But, in the midst of the banter, La Russa stood up and addressed his team's stars about a salient issue that will arise tonight - the 76th midsummer All-Star Game. He noted that the National League, his league now, hadn't won since 1996, whether home-field advantage for the World Series was at stake or not. "He was making jokes like, 'Guys, can we please end this losing streak on Tuesday?'" Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols said. "He said, 'I'm sick and tired of the American League winning every time.' "You know Tony. He's a winner. That's why he's a future Hall of Famer. He never takes anything for granted. And I admire that. You're not supposed to take this game for granted. There are a lot of people watching you. There are a lot of people making a lot of money in this game, and you want to do the best you can and not disrespect this game. You have to admire that. "He has to take this game seriously. Everybody here has to take this game seriously." [More in URL] Also the article let's out some news that is interesting.. 1st Inn: Chris Carpenter 2nd Inn: John Smoltz 3rd Inn: Roy Oswalt 4th Inn: Roger Clemens 5th Inn: Livan Hernandez 6th Inn: Dontrelle Willis 7th Inn: Chad Cordero 8th Inn: Billy Wagner 9th Inn: Brad Lidge Extra Innings: Jake Peavy One Batter Pitcher/Or Not Pitch at all: Brian Fuentes Probably will be outta game: Jason Isringhausen "La Russa said Isringhausen had some stiffness and Duncan said Isringhausen really hadn't expressed strong interest in pitching anyway." Derrek Lee/Albert Pujols/DH-1B News: "I would think the trainers and the Cubs would want three at-bats tops for Derrek," La Russa said. La Russa also mentioned that Albert will probably move to 1B later in the game. (Interesting stuff there and the pitcher would occupy the DH spot if Albert moves to first. Being talked about as PH's are Luis Gonzalez, Carlos Lee, and Jason Bay.)
July 12, 200519 yr La Russa is putting all this planning into it instead of letting the game flow dictate his moves...
July 12, 200519 yr I'm gonna go the other way now.. The NL is gonna be perfect the entire game, winning 9-0 with the AL not getting any baserunners.
July 12, 200519 yr AL is taking this ish, they have been by far the better league and they are going to show why.
July 12, 200519 yr really nice thread!! im going with the AL. i think the NL has better pitching but the AL's lineup is massive!! screw the NL fans and there lousy voting for edmonds and beltran
