Yosted. Oh wait.

 

I don't understand why LaRussa didn't use Pujols, even though that means Dimitri Young would have had to play outfield. Meh. lol

Why wouldn't you put in Pujols now?

 

The only two things I can think are a) position problems (even though LaRussa said he can play multiple positions), and b) manpower issues if the game goes extras.

 

But that said, I do think Pujols should have hit for either Hudson or Rowand.

 

This is the first All-Star game that I was really interested in since I was a kid, since the Brewers had a bunch of guys in it and there is a chance that it would mean something for us later this season.

 

Good game.

Pujols batting with the bases loaded should have been a no brainer though. If he gets a hit, the game is over. If he walks, the game is tied and worst comes to worst Pujols or Dimitri Young can play LF and Soriano can move to center. If he makes an out, the game is over.

During the pre-game tribute to Willie Mays, I was trying to remember if they did anything similar for Hank Aaron when the game was in Milwaukee. I sure can't remember anything; if no tribute, does anyone know why not?

yay! My evil plan to not miss school and be able to fly up to MKE on a late October weekend is now in place. We just have to get the team there first.

 

Didn't get to see a lick of the game but I'll watch the tivo when I get home in a week.

 

(btw, I'm in Phoenix right now about to help my cousin move to Minnesota. He and I are driving the big moving truck and towing a car. Seems like only about 10 days go that I was just getting home from driving across the country. Oh, wait! I was!)
