Poll: Washington Nationals' Best All-Star Performance; 2011 All-Star GameThread.

• It's hard to go with Livan Hernandez's '05 All-Star Game performance, which saw the then 30-year-old right-hander walk Red Sox' catcher Jason Varitek before surrendering a ground-rule double to the Orioles' Brian Roberts and a two-run single to the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki to put the NL down 5-0 to the American League after four innings in Comerica Park in Detroit. Chad Cordero replaced the Padres' Jake Peavy on the mound with two down in the the bottom of the eighth, striking Pudge Rodriguez out to keep the Nationals League within four at 7-3 in a game that ended 7-5 in the AL's favor...
Alfonso Soriano started in left field for the National League in 2006's Mid-Summer Classic in Pittsburgh's PNC Park. The Nats' outfielder was 1 for 2, swinging first pitch (predictably) and flying out when he faced then-Tigers' left-hander Kenny Rogers, aka The Gambler. The second time up, Soriano singled on a liner to left against then-Blue Jays' ace Roy Halladay, then stole second and was thrown out by Vernon Wells trying to score from there on a one-out line drive single to center by Carlos Beltran. In 2007 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, Dmitri "DY" Young represented the Nationals, singling in his only at bat, a pinch hit appearance in the eighth, and scoring on a two-out run HR by Soriano, who'd left D.C. to sign in Chicago after the '06 season.
Cristian Guzman came on as a pinch runner in the ninth inning of the '08 MLB All-Star Game in Yankee Stadium in New York. Guzman replaced Aramis Ramirez after then-Angels' closer Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez had issued a leadoff walk, but the Nats' SS was caught stealing one out later on an inning-ending strike'em out, throw'em out double play in what was then a tie game. Guzman would stay in the game for six more innings until it was decided on a sac fly in the 15th. Guzman ended the night 0 for 3 with a flyout, failed bunt attempt and a groundout to first.
Ryan Zimmerman flew out to St. Louis' Busch Stadium II in 2009, where he entered the game as a defensive replacement in the fifth, and went 0-2 in 2 in two at bats, flying out to center when he faced the Rays' Edwin Jackson in the fifth and flying to right on the first pitch from the Twins' Joe Nathan in the bottom of the eighth.
2010 Nats' All-Star Matt Capps came on to face Boston's left-handed slugger David Ortiz in the bottom of the sixth inning in Angel Stadium of Anaheim and the Nats' right-handed closer started down 0-2 to the the Red Sox' first baseman/DH, then caught the outside edge with 94mph heat for a called strike that made it 1-2. Ortiz fouled off a 1-2 pitch from Capps, who then shook off three pitches called for by Braves' backstop Brian McCann, and threw a 2-2 two-seamer inside under Big Papi's arms for a called strike three and the end of the sixth to keep the NL close, down 1-0 in what ended up a 3-1 NL victory, with Matt Capps earning the W when the National League went up a half-inning after he'd pitched for the NL's first All-Star Game win since 1996.
So which Nats' All-Start put in the best performance? Matt Capps' big K. Guzman's extra inning effort? Chad Cordero striking out Pudge? Livan Hernandez getting hit hard and giving up two runs? Ryan Zimmerman's 0 for 2? Dmitri Young's pinch hit? Alfonso Soriano's 1 for 2? Vote Below.
And anyone watching the 2011 Mid-Summer Classic can't talk baseball and wait for Clippard to pitch below.

Capps not only won the AS game, he turned into Wilson Ramos!

"the then-brand new new Yankee Stadium in New York"
Nope, the new Stadium didn’t open until 2009.

Heck, pupusas are usually served with slaw...
…and in fast-food translation, all cuisine from south of Barstow is the same, ergo cole slaw is valid on a taco (and tasty, I might add).

Which would be amazing.

However, I’m not on the Sign Prince Fielder band wagon. I don’t think he’s going to age well. Plus he’s already said he’s good with being a DH.

In their primes..
…although Johnson’s lasted a lot longer.
"I don't believe in luck, but it was just one of those things where it wasn't really skill, either." --Jerry, jr.
I think Pedro's top run was right there with Koufax
When adjusted for eras.
Koufax averaged over 9 rWAR per year for a four-year stretch
I don’t think anyone else has done that.
Rob
-- In baseball we trust.
It's hard to adjust for the difference in innings pitched
But Pedro’s peak run of five years with an ERA+ that never went below 190 (and it was 219 and 163 the two season before THAT) – that low of 190 matches Koufax’s best, in 1966.
I'd just like everyone to know I'm intoxicated.
Thus the invitation for a round at the red loft*. I actually want Clippard to get the win tonight.

Callbacks for a play
Called Rounding Third. Only two parts, though, and the director seemed to settle on two other guys by the end of the evening. Nothing official yet, though.
Funny, because none of the actors knew anything about baseball at all. There was a line in the play about hitting fungoes, and I had to explain what that meant.
Thanks
Sadly, it doesn’t usually work that way. I auditioned for a production of Damn Yankees once with The Arlington Players. I didn’t get cast despite the fact that I’ve spent years playing baseball in the summer and doing musicals in the winter. It quickly became apparent that the Director knew bupkiss about baseball and wasn’t really interested in finding out. I went to see the show and couldn’t help but think “no wonder the Yankees kick the Senators [hind parts] every season – these guys don’t seem to know which end of the bat to hold, much less how to throw the ball.”
They could sing and dance, though – I’ll give them that. They had miles and miles and miles of heart. But baseball? Not so much.
Yep...most theater people don't know anything about sports...
and feel superior to sports fans and athletes.
A feeling that is largely returned by sports fans and athletes towards theater, FWIW
It amuses me in both directions :-)

Just looked at the IMDB
The reviewers rate it 4.6 stars out of 10 – that’s … um … unusually low for imdb lol
It's a classic...
Please don’t watch that movie. I’m not at all serious. Freddie Prinze plays a Cape Cod League “prospect” whose temper causes him trouble. Will he gain control of it before he blows his last chance? Can he continue to date the rich girl whose yard his dad landscapes? Can Matthew Lillard really call a game behind the plate???

NATS WIN THE ASG AGAIN! BACK TO BACK!
"I don't believe in luck, but it was just one of those things where it wasn't really skill, either." --Jerry, jr.
Go baseball!
I’ve never heard of the save rule where you can be down by four, if the tying run is in the on deck circle
Two ASG wins in a row for the NL!
Two ASG wins in a row for Nationals pitchers!!!!

No wonder they never get more than one rep
Rest of the league does not want to be embarrassed.

Hey, CD3K...how is Caitlin?
I didn’t realize she is recovering from surgery until late last night. I hope she’ all better soon.
Had to go under again yesterday to get one last bit sewn up that kept breaking staples and stitches....
She’s really bored and hates pill taking, so she spends most of her time sulking in her crate…so maybe another 10 days….
