All-stars look to be the good offensive players rather than defensive!

That AL lineup is insane though. I think they score at least 8.

I was surprised they didn't try to make a play on Cabrera at home. It looked like when he hit 3B(couldn't go as far before it hit ground as he could have had there been 2 outs) the throw was already in the air to the second baseman!

Votto missed the two fastballs that were hit-able and that set him up for the un-hit-able curve. Panda was ready for the curve that was hit-able.

Big hit Panda shows his defensive liability on the first fair ball from the AL!

Fuckin' Tigers...lol. I want the AL. But its kinda refreshing for JV to get lit up and Prince look like a moron on Jeters throw.

The Cabrera's, Mauer, Konerko, Kinsler, Andrus, Dunn is just sick. And the first five pitchers could possibly be Verlander, Weaver, Wilson, Sabathia, Price? They could collectively throw a no-no on any lineup
lol

No ones afraid of Paul Konerko lol

I'd be afraid looking at Cano, Hamilton, Bautista, and Fielder in a row...not Paul Konerko.

I hate the white sox but I definitely agree. Konerko is a beast and one of the most under rated players in the mlb

Thought it was kinda funny after the game. Many of the players were hugging and big smiles to, and from LaRussa, with a big handshake and all. Then when it came to Chapman the demeanor was diff for both of them!

Gotta agree with S&L....Konerko is great with a tremendous career....but Dunn bats in front of him and is leading the league in walks.

That's fine. But didn't Dunn always have high walk rates? Who was behind him in cincy. Kinda a dumb argument.

Yeah he always had high walk rates....batting with no one behind him in Cincy with retarded managers hitting him 6th and 5th. He's on pace for a 133 walks....I just can't imagine him walking 133 times in front of Fielder, Cabrera, Braun, Votto, Kemp, Hamilton.
