In about 30 minutes, Roy Halladay will start for the AL tonight in the annual All-Star game. Normally, the starter is picked because he is the best of the best (and the best who hasn't started in about a week). This year, Joe Maddon picked the Toronto Blue Jay ace over the surprising and amazing Zach Grienke. Now Halladay is still an amazing pitcher and it's the fucking All-Star game so it the scheme of things, it really doesn't matter who starts. But it's an honor to be chosen to start the ASG and I think that honor should have gone to Grienke.

I'm sure there's more but you get my point.
I'm just sayin'
NOTE: DME, I'm just referring to THIS SEASON SO FAR
Brad Penny started the game a couple years ago so it means shit.
ReplyDeletePlus neal cotts started the futures game which also shows how meaningless it really is. And i dont care how awesome he was in 2005
