PRE All Star Game Thread

[twikoff]

well..
the discussion about the selection can dwindle down now..
so we can start talking about more game notes..

curt schilling wont be pitching in the game

because of pain in his ankle

If Schilling would have started the All-Star game he would have received a $50,000 bonus.

I dont see anything about a replacement
I assume he wont be taking a roster spot, if he cant pitch

[B.A.]

They can give his bonus to a worthy charity - my baby fund.

Schmidt might not pitch either. He's scheduled to pitch Sunday. My guess is he will.

[Copenhagen]

You think so even with all the talk about ownership not wanting him to pitch at all.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Of course he'll pitch. Remember this time, it counts!!

(Didnt they say the same thing last year, and the Marlins still beat the Yankees?)

[twikoff]

hamstring strain has junior out for the all star game
not sure of a replacement (if any) at this time

[Copenhagen]

I bet this is how they get Beltran in the game.

Your bet is correct, but it does no help to the likes of JD Drew and Adam Dunn

[Luddy]

Berkman to replace Griffey in the HRD.

[fumanstan]

They should have let McGriff in the Derby :D
