Running MLB All-Star game thread

Jorge got a great look at Papplebon's stuff. I wonder if that will help down the line.

I think Posada and the Yanks know all about Pap's stuff.

A different perspective can't hurt.

Did a Red Sox catcher catch Rivera in the All-Star game? They seem to pound him really well.

I would imagine Varitek certainly would have had a chance or two.

Maybe Varitek in the past, but I think the Sox are successful because they are patient and face him 19 times a season.

True, but what about Beltre?

Varitek never caught Rivera in the All-Star Game. He started both and was well out of the game before Rivera came in.

"Good work, Joe. Way to close out the broadcast."

You didn't start so hot, either, Joey.

is Paula Cole really the best they could get for this??

They should have asked Grace Slick

Can I get one more closeup of a pitcher peeking out from under his hat before this is over?

Thanks!!

At least he's poking some fun at himself. He could be much, much worse. (Look to his right).

And we have a ballgame.
