Figured we could have a thread for this all important battle tonight.

Weaver vs Halladay.



I'm taking the NL pitching over the AL slugging.

AL. Because they have Pure Rage. Rage always beats skill. Everyone knows that.

But it won't be a save situation.

AL wins because they have the best SS in baseball starting and Pure Rage.

Robinson Cano will go hitless and have a sub par 2nd half. The HR Derby fucks younger guys swings up for weeks.

McCarver just said Weaver turns his back to the plate more than any right hander in baseball. Cueto?? That's why I don't typically like national broadcasts.

My thoughts exactly.

Then again, Weaver has always done it. Johnny just started this year.

True, but it's not just that. They are typically terrible inaccurate on alot of things they say.

You must be kidding me? Rolen is NO way a top 10 All time 3rd baseman even.

No. Mariano will blow it. We will go to extras, and Rage closes it out in the 11th.

And Johnny didn't start pitching this season until the 2nd week of May!

No way...very experienced player that plays within himself. He was hitting off of a tee before the finals....in which he could've hit em all night.

Pineda is a stud, and what? 22 yrs old? Scary. Gets it up to 98 when he is in like the 3rd inning and loose, so we didnt see that heat, and he is 6-7 or something.

That defensive play by Bautista was one of the best all-star game plays in a long time.....please don't tell me Torii Hunter's Bonds robbing was better. It was very athletic and cosmetic....Bautista's was more difficult.

Nice throw by Pence. He would look good manning the grass in front of the Pepsi HR Porch.

Castro is a good bit younger than Pineda....regardless of what FOX says.
