I'll go out on a limb here.

AL wins.

[Jeffro]

Albert hitting clean-up? That'll never work.

Dumb move. What happens if the game goes 20 innings?

If the NL loses again, at least make it be because of some Cub fuck up.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure about 3 of the NL starting pitchers just threw yesterday so you gotta love how the team is already playing short handed a bit.

Word going around is that Webb might be dropping out today since he won't be able to pitch anyway.

I would assume that somehow means that Bob Howry ends up on the team through some player voting that occured 3 weeks ago.

I believe it'd be a starter - a reliever replaces a reliever, a starter replaces a starter.

Probably Hamels or Hudson. But it would also depend on whether they could get anyone this late. Normally people drop out ahead of time, not the day before.

I wonder if Tony would let Lohse go now if he could get there....he's scheduled to pitch on Thursday

I would assume so. He would be throwing a bullpen on Tuesday anyway. 1 inning wouldn't hurt him if he was needed.

And Hamels also pitched Sunday so that prob knocks him out too. I would say it's Santana, Hudson or Lohse.

Rick Reilly is on the staff for ESPN for the Home Run Derby. He's sitting next to Kruk. Poor Rick Reilly.

[Jeffro]

Holy shit, Steve Phillips looks like an Oompa Loompa.
