Threats are in no way allowed or tolerated on the board.

This was completely uncalled for.

ilb: No offense, but that pic under HOS is not HOS at all.

I really pray a class act like Niewy would not resort going to the Rangers.

The ending was pretty good, but the first five innings was a joke.

Congrats to the AL! I was hoping for a tie and extra inning, but good job by AL. To do this against Wagner and Gagne is awesome. It was a good game at the end. Good ending. Good to see Garrett win the MVP. Well-deserved. Also props to Blalock for hitting the GW HR. The ASG was alright overall.

The best part of the ASG is Amy Grant IMO.

Scioscia did a crappy job. I mean he should have used Mark Mulder in that spot. He should use the starters and then go with Donnelly and then the closer. Too bad! This year's ASG is worse than last year.

Mike Scioscia is a freakin' moron WTF was he thinking using freakin Hasagawa in the fifth inning. What was that? He used his relievers too early. I think the game is over now thanks to Eddie Guaradado as he got his butt kicked in the ASG. Way to make the Twins proud, Eddie.

I want either Ventura or Costas.

So far, the ASG has stunk. Oh Joe Buck is a moron. For him to view the ASG as Game 7 of the World Series and life and death is silly

I hope there is some sort of dialogue between the NHLPA and the NHL this summer. I think both sides should take the intitative and start the process of negotiating. I don't want to hear about the problems of both sides. Get it done!

Man I hate this guy. I have had it with him ever since he announced contraction two days after a great World Series two years ago. This guy has no clue how to run a sport. Outside of the advent of wild-card, did he really do a good job. It seems majority of the fans have gripes with this guy making decisions. Here are some of the reasons to why I hate Selig: -- Contracting the Twins and Expos. Why in the world would he want to contract them? He should find ways for them to make them successful. Contracting is never the answer. Also why make the announcement two days after a great World Series -- I am tired of his whining about how the sport is in trouble and how small-market teams can't succeed. Baloney! I think with a good management, anyone can succeed. Bud never praise the good things about baseball. All he does is just bash the sport rather than praise the small-market teams. -- It seems he makes decisions because the owners tell him to do so. I don't recall guys like Stern, Tagilabue, and Bettman making decisions because the owners tell them to do so. They do it with their own gut. -- I don't have a problem with the All-Star Game ending with a tie, but I have a problem with Selig overdoing the All-Stat Game by announcing that the winner of the All-Star Games gets homefield. Huh? You think guys like Lance Carter, C..C Sabathia, Dimitri Young, Armando Benitez, and others that have nothing to play for care about who wins the homefield? Now that was really dumb. -- Selig tends to bend over for the union. I know lot of small-market owners was not happy about the new CBA. They wanted a lockout till they got the cap so why did Selig bend over for the players. I was all for a lockout unless every team had a chance to win. I don't like this new CBA one bit. -- The Zito/Clemens mess was embrassing. Why in the world did Selig caved in to the A's demands? Zito did not have to pitch in the game, but he should be there in uniform. He is healthy enough to go IMO. -- I wonder if Selig truly thinks before he makes decisions. He has just been embrassing as a commisioner. I hope George W. Bush is the next commissioner of baseball. At least, he has a clue about the sport.

I can care less about the All-Star Game. I agree that it's stupid to give homefield advantage in the All-Star Game because a representative from a bad team can really care less since he has nothing to play for come playoff time. I don't care who wins or lose at all. It's so obvious that players and managers don't take it seriously so why should fans take it seriously. I will watch for intros and to see if the game is tied and go to extra innings. I personally like to see the game tied and go extra innings. It will be interesting then to see if history repeat itself. In the 80s and early 90s, I was really into it. AL and NL players hated each other and they wanted to kick butt. The AL never wanted to lose to the NL. I remember a time when the AL was kicking the NL's butt every year and they did not like losing to them either. Ever since 1994 when the NL beat the AL at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, ASG never became the same as far as intensity goes. Tony LaRussa took the All-Star Games seriously. I mean he made the players work and sweat it out for workouts and he made sure that no player dogged it. If it was my way, I would make fans vote for managers to lead each league in the ASG. I would vote for Pinella to manage the AL and LaRussa to manage the NL every year because those two would not treat ASG as exhibition. Those guys would make sure the players work their butts off. I don't see things changing with the All-Star Game anytime soon. It's just events. I hate All-Star Games for any sport. It's a waste of time. I rather see a respite of no games instead of a All-Star Game for one week.

Gross!

I wonder how he will handle the razzing and criciticism from the fans all season long next year. As a Wild fan, I thank him for helping the Wild get to the WC Finals.

I am glad you post about him, NJDev25. He did a lot for football in the state of Texas and for the league in general. He was one of the big reasons why the NFL is the best. It's a sad day indeed. Tex was a good businessman and a good leader.

I hope the game goes through extra innings tonight. It will be interesting what Bud and the managers do if the game go past 13 innings.

sheeps: You know what's my problem with what Dusty said. Double standard for him. If a white manager said this crap, he would be fired or suspended. Everyone should be accountable at what they said. God forbid if I said something about African-Americans, I would be expelled from the university or get fired at my job and rightfully so. What the hell is the difference between what Dusty said and what Jimmy the Greek Snyder said. As you know, Jimmy the Greek said that black atheltes were better than whites because they were bred that way. Jimmy the Greek got fired for those comments. Don't you think Dusty's comments are smiliar to what Jimmy said? As far as I am concerned, Jimmy and Dusty are idiots for saying that. When you are managing a professional organization, you gotta watch what you say because these type of comments could be a reflection of the organization. That's what my beef is all about. Did I ever accuse Dusty of being a racist? Did I mention about racism? All I did was talk about how it was unfair that minorities can handle the rigors of the job because of their skin color. It has nothing to do with that. People of all colors handle the rigors of the job because they are talented enough to do it. I am not even white at all. My color skin is brown and I feel insulted of that comment that Dusty made. I just felt that comment was bordered to idiotic. I am sure Martin Luther King Jr would disagree with Dusty's assertion. Here is a King quote for you and I agree with what he said. Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream of a society "where our children aren't judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Basically, my rant is about how I think Dusty is wrong in using skin color in determining how good of a worker a person is and how Dusty can get away with it through double standard.

Here's my problem with Torre managing the ASG. He never took it seriously and it rubbed off on the players. That's why ASG has been bad in recent years. LaRussa would not tolerate guys schmoozing or fraternizing with the NL All-Stars. He would be a drill serganant.

LaRussa had guys doing pushups and drills in All-Star Games. He even got tossed for a All-Star Game. He is too intense. Torre does not seem to care and it was very obvious in the All-Star Game last year. I blame Torre for the reason why the game was tie last year. He managed lackdiasically.

I agree.

Yep That would not be bad either. I don't think managers take All-Star Game seriously. Give me a guy like LaRussa. He treats All-Star Game like life n death.

I think both guys should be there and both guys should pitch.

I think fans should vote for managers to vote for All-Star Game.
