[Season Over]

It's 4:35 and I've had enough Jeter

[Kenny]

Adele Dezeem is singing?  I'll have to check back in about an hour.

[tdawg87]

oh boy. This Jeter ball slobbering is pathetic.

Isn't this game supposed to celebrate the game's best players?

[Blarg]

No.

[Butcher'd]

AL has better pitching. NL has better hitting (mostly because Derek Jeter's .630 OPS is in the AL lineup).

 

hopefully it won't be too painful.

 

But judging from the pregame show, Jeter is going to continue to get his knob slobbered over all night

[2002_halos_II]

Go Angel

[Kenny]

I'm starting to be happy that Jeter is retiring.  I can't wait until the media's mouth is ripped from Jeter's teet, and sticks tightly onto Mike Trout's.

[2002_halos_II]

and Aybar (probably won't play until the 9th)

[2002_halos_II]

No idea why they list Stanton on the reserves when he is starting...

[bloodbrother]

What's with the hats the AL players are wearing?

[WallyWorld]

What's with the hats the AL players are wearing?

 

they look like they should be stomping lemons at Hot Dog on a Stick.

[bloodbrother]

Woops, guess both teams are wearing different hats. That's a new look for the ASG this year

[Butcher'd]

Same thing for Mariano last year. Thank God the "core 4" is finally done after this year. Won't have to deal with these ridiculous slobber-fests for the foreseeable future

[LBHalos17]

The All-Star Game has become a love-fest with the history of baseball in the last few years, in spite of it mattering somewhat to the Playoffs.

 

I think Jeter is getting his due; classy representative of the Game for the last 20 years.  I loved his locker-room speech; he seems to be grounded in reality.

 

Let's go Halos!  Represent!  Trout for MVP! 

[LBHalos17]

You can see Jeter's feeling the emotion of knowing this is his last time..  

[jshep]

Woops, guess both teams are wearing different hats. That's a new look for the ASG this year

 

Yeah, they're based on some old Twins gear.

[Jason]

I get why all the Jeter talk is annoying but he is a great representative of the game. I'm OK with it.

[Butcher'd]

They'll probably give Jeter the MVP if he goes 1 for 3 with a single

[Jason]

Who's going to throw him a cookie like Park did to Ripken?

[bloodbrother]

Wonder if Aybar even gets into the game

[LBHalos17]

Anybody know who the Angels Teacher representative is?  

 

That's pretty cool for them to get recognized.
