Any story behind Zambrano throwing at Manny's head?

_________________

It was a slow curve ball. Relax. He was just having fun with him. It wasn't even a curve. He just lobbed the ball up there.

It was a knuckleball

Yeah, I know he wasnt throwing at him to hurt him.

You could tell from his arm motion that it was pre planned. And then afterwords they showed ARam on the bench nodding for people to watch right before the pitch then laughing after.

Jurco

zambrano says it was a message from his brother in venezuela.

Thanks, man. I did check out your website. Nice work. . . I applaud entrepreneurs. I have a couple of thoughts and will PM you in the next week or so.

So its a Venezuelan thing?

Im torn here. As a baseball purist, I love a good pitching match/chess match. That being said, im a traditionalist and miss the all star games that were 13-10 affairs. Damn you selig for putting me in this spot.

Did McCarver just say the changeup is the pitch of islands?

Most all-star games are low scoring. Good pitching beats good hitting always. Plus, when you bring in different stud pitchers it's tougher for hitter to get in sinc.


Yessss!!!!! 2 run homer for the AL. Keep the streak alive. Get my Sox home field in the World Series.

I think you have a an opportunity to leverage this . . .

Only one bench guy for the AL. Carlos Guillen. Quentin will play the rest of the game. Including extra innings.

Hey, if it goes extras, Dempster might pitch 2 or 3 innings.

What do you consider a low scoring game?

_________________

4 runs or less for either team. You're probably gonna prove me wrong by showing me past all star scores. They've been low scoring the last 10 years from what I remember.

I hate to say it, and I'm mostly doing it to be a pain in the ass, but if Soriano was in left that run wouldn't have scored.

I see where you are coming from to a point, but the winning team has averaged 6 runs the past 8 years.

The winning team. OK. What has the NL averaged the last 8 years?

I guess good AL hitting always beats good NL pitching.

Fuck. I think the NL has the stronger all-around team except the bullpen. I'm worried about this.

Clint Hurdle is a cock-knob. And would it fucking kill Billy Wagner to hold a fucking runner on base? He's a fucking left-hander! Just look at the fucker. Suck my nuts, assholes.

Ok. Now I'm happy Longoria beat out Dye for the last vote.

Longoria might have just given the Sox 4 home games in the World Series. Nice job kid.

I have the feeling that the Sox are going to get 6 or 7 games at home this WS.

It's fun rooting for AL guys I root against all year. Especially when the Sox have a chance to make the playoffs. You care more about this game when that is the case.

Hey, Irish boy made a funny.

No more bench for the AL. Crede is done. Quentin will play the rest of the game. He could be the hero.

Like I said, Dempster might have to pitch. That wasn't the plan.

I hate the lizards dancing commercials. I don't think they're cute. I don't think it's cool because it's CGI. I don't think they're funny. And I don't get all wobbly in the knees because they're playing nostalgia music. Suck it, lizards.

Last time they were there, only needed 2.

This has been a good game despite Fox and Joe Buck sucking. Someone needs to tell McCarver that the Dominican is technically a peninsula.
