SIS - 2011 All Star Game Chatter, Ditch the Main Page ASG Thread edition

This is an unsanctioned game thread, not sponsored by RR or SB Nation. Rally Cleavage is perfectly acceptable, in fact it will be encouraged during innings where Scott Rolen hits. If moderately juvenile behavior and images offend you please take the opportunity to roll to the main page where, most likely, a more vanilla game thread experience will be posted for your enjoyment and participation.
Who's throwing out the ceremonial first pitch? Which is worse, the Black Keys or Arcade Fire? Where in the hell is this game being played this evening(i skipped the HR Derby broadcast)? When will ESPN get the hint and retire Chris Berman from everything except nfl highlights on Prime Time? Has Barry Larkin set foot in Silverton since the Italianette opened 25 years ago? And do you really trust ANYONE that doesn't absolutely love summertime???

i wonder if the other players have the glitter affixed also.
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
They are wearing the normal uniforms tonight, right?
I always hate ASG’s (any league) when they don’t wear their normal uniforms. I’m pretty sure MLB doesn’t do that as often as the other league but I’m fairly sure that I recall at least one game where they wore the National/American jerseys during the actual game.
I thought it was supposed to be snake skin
for the Diamondbacks.
Still, looks pretty crappy.

It has its flaws for sure (refereeing mostly)
But the quality of play gets better year after year. It takes a little getting used to if you’re mostly watching the EPL, and it’s better live, but it’s coming along.

I used to follow MLS religiously
but then most every significant US player went overseas, and thus my fanhood followed.
I’m still just waiting (and hopefully with the 17K per game attendance avg this year, it’s starting) for the MLS to be able to attract more than just over-the-hill, looking-for-their-last-paycheck type international players to let it explode.
Of course, that will take big money owners and a league that will allow MLB type salary exceptions, but you can always hope.

More teams are starting to invest in talented youth
Vancouver just spent Designated Player money (eg. David Beckham money, but not quite that much) on a 24 year old Gambian. Dallas did the same on an 18 year old Colombian. Other teams are really ratcheting up their youth academies, like the European teams have. Juan Agudelo (“the next great American striker”) came out of New York’s academy and is now a regular on the national team. DC has four academy players on its roster. Three of them start regularly. One was MLS Rookie of the Year last year and is now on the Honduran national team. Another could potentially be a US national team goalkeeper of the future.
The overall quality of play is getting better. Slowly, but surely.

Oh, the other thing about DC United is they just hired a guy from Ajax to run their academy
Ajax is renowned as having one of, if not the best academy systems in the world.

Perhaps he won't be
That seems to be the fate of good MetroStars/Red Bulls. However, MLS does keep some of its top talent, most notably Landon Donovan. Taylor Twellman, too, though that might have been a mistake.
by Brendanukkah on Jul 12, 2011 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Donovan still befuddles me.
He’s had offers, he had success at Everton, and he’s seemingly turned down money.
He’s got to, GOT to have some sweetheart marketing deal with MLS that keeps him stateside.

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jul 12, 2011 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions
It's my understanding that he wants to leave but MLS won't sell him
And he’s making all kinds of coin in MLS, so he doesn’t really have a reason to force a move right now.

yeah, but youth targeting is one thing
signing talented 22 year olds who have established themselves in major leagues is another.
Watching Neymar, Hazard, Ganso, and Sanchez be coveted for 40 some million euro is crazy, yes, but especially since those guys are between 19 and 23 years old.
If the MLS could sign even Joe Cole, Diego, or Bendtner (mid 20’s guys who were mid level players), it’d be a huge step up.
Fact is, those types still won’t sign with MLS clubs.
They will eventually, I believe, but that’s quite a ways off.

Yeah
The money in even lower European leagues versus MLS is still quite a disparity. But it’s getting better. MLS was always about slow growth, and it’s growing slowly. The cool thing is it’s been around for 15 years now. And the soccer’s not unenjoyable now. Proximity definitely helps, and I wonder if I’d be as big a fan as I am if I hadn’t gone to games on a regular basis.

Exactly.
It’ll get there, but let’s be honest, even the Belgian league still has more draw to major players in their prime than MLS right now.

It's not at the point where we're getting young players from Europe yet
But we’re already seeing established guys from South America, and we’re doing better than ever with keeping young American stars from going abroad (for the most part). Sure, your Dempseys and Jozys aren’t coming back anytime soon, but the fringe USMNT guys are starting to come from MLS.
Actually, the league signed its first designated player from Africa today. Sure, they signed him from the Belgian Second division, but it’s something.

I used to follow the Crew, but that’s tailed off and I occasionally catch up on some DC United news down here

The fun thing about MLS is all the access you can get
If you live in a town with a team, I guess. Ticket prices are reasonable. I’ve been to several meet the team events, and sometimes volunteer on game days where I’m right there in the players tunnels and on the field. I’ve randomly bumped into DC United’s coach twice on the street, and one day as I was walking home, took a bit of a different route and saw him sitting in his front yard. He lives just a few blocks from me!
The quality of the league is definitely improving, but of course it’s not as good as Europe. But the passion of some of the fanbases is really impressive, and I find it’s a lot more fun to root for a team that I can interact with on a regular basis rather than having to get up at 7:00 on a Saturday to watch. Plus the tailgating.
Mostly I’m just glad that soccer’s getting more of a fair shake here, and the access to it is so much more impressive than it was just a decade ago. I don’t think everyone has to like it, but it’s cool for people that do.

netflix just emailed me their pricing change
with hbo 2 go & other instant streaming options, i don’t think i have much need for netflix anyway
Netflix finally adding more options
for streaming with subtitles means I’ll stick with it for the time being. Can’t blame them for raising the prices. Stores are gone and the Red Box thing can only offer so much. My grandma still rents from the local drug store. It’s only 79 cents, that’s not entirely awful.
i've had the same dvd from them since February and i still haven't watched it.
they are losing a lot of their shows for streaming, and their selection of new movies is pretty much non existent
redbox is great for new release movies
Ive had frost/Nixon in my car for 2.5 years
I only use the streaming
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
See...
I go to the theatre quite often, so I catch those movies I’m interested in. What I do like about Netflix, they do often a pretty great selection of past movies that I missed out on. For instance, aside from a few minutes via HBO a few years ago, I currently have The Thin Red Line sitting on my desk right now. Of course, I could have just gone to BB over the last decade and rented it then but still…
Same here
I’m probably going to go to streaming only. The only thing I’m afraid of is that they take off all the decent content once they make that move.

Is baseball a Christian exclusive sport now? Are Hindus supposed to sing “Gods Bless America”? I don’t need church in my American pastime, thanks.

I don't think Luna and me are to that point in our relationship yet.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
Apparently I am.
I’m going with a bunch of friends from high school and we’re being really dorky about it. It’s gonna be awesome. Me getting all obsessed with Luna is basically because I hate all the main characters and need a reason to actually want to go.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
I'm in denial that it's finally all over
It was a great book series and a better than average movie series. Wish there was more on the way
I can't argue that.
I feel like a total dork for enjoying it, but that series was a pretty big chunk of my childhood. It’s no LOTR, but it’s still a very good work.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
Pottermore is
Whatever the hell that is
I want to go to the midnight premiere so fucking hard, but due to various reasons, I can’t.

Not that I disliked any of the books
But for the finale it was kinda a let down for me. Still the ending was wrapped up pretty well
I think I missed my window on the books
I was one of the first people I knew to read the books (started in 99 or so – I was 10). I remember being excited for #4 – fighting with my mother and sister to read it first. Pretty excited for 5. Waited a while after 6 to come out to read it. I remember realizing that the hype pissed me off. I thought to myself that there were books I enjoyed far more, and I pretty much stopped paying attention. If they had all been available when I first started reading them I would have devoured them, but now, meh…

I could pretty much copy/paste that.
Although I think I did read all of them pretty shortly after they came out- the movie hype was a little more ‘eh’ for me.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
Yea the last 3 books I stood in line for the releases
I started in grade school too and it was just crazy how deep her world could go. Although it did seem to sputter towards the end
Tough to keep it going towards the end
The first books were more based on developing the world, while the later ones seemed to be more focused on the actual conflict going on within it.

I read the 7th book in a day.
And never saw the 6th or 7th movies. I need to go back and re-read the 7th book. I saw the 6th movie tonight and the 7th movie will be tomorrow. I thought the 6th movie was a lot better than the first 5, personally.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
So, for the premiere...
I think there’ll be about 10 of us wearing cloaks and whatever badass dark clothing we can find. We’re going to have one of our friends give us Death Eater tattoos and go dressed like that. I think we’re also making wands (under the influence of alcohol) tomorrow… I kinda love geeking up for Harry Potter one last time.
"Luna Lovegood is really freaking awesome in every way." -Me
I was the only one of my close friends to read the books
I’m trying to get my girlfriend into them before we see the 7th movie. And for costumes, I would probably make a pretty sweet Dudley
Hahaha, nice
If LB wasn’t in Iowa, she’d be doing all of this stuff too. Stupid theatre junk. Luna would never go do theatre in Iowa. I love Dudley in the 5th movie when he’s trying to look all gangster and junk.

It's not actually her. Think it's a lookalike.

I would assume/hope that the price increase means they're getting more stuff for streaming, but prolly not
"Look at me, Rex Banner. I have a new hat."
I'm guessing not
The streaming section isn’t worth 8 dollars right now in my opinion
It's funny we live in a world where a vast collection
of movies and tv shows can be made easily accessible to us for only 8 bucks a month and we’re not impressed anymore. Try telling ourselves this 10 years ago, when we were still having to go to Blockbuster and shelling out 5 bucks per.
Yea, it's not good when we can already do "back in my day" spiels
about this kind of stuff. But technology moves so fast that Some new thing will come out and blow away everything we have now in the next 5 years
SHOTS FIRED.
Go get Beltran. Kemp. Ubaldo. Now.
If the Reds are going to go after any improvements
I’d prefer they were in or close to first prior to that happening. Not to say they’re not close to first, but I’d rather a trade like this were the last piecce we needed, rather than just a piece to get them to the playoffs where we still lack that #1 pitcher (this is assuming Ubaldo is not traded for, which I still think is a huge longshot).
top three picks are still unsigned
so probably not. Wonder what they would have in their farm system for a deal like this.
Can't be.
Draft picks can’t be dealt for a year after signing, so the guys this year are out.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jul 13, 2011 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions
true, but they can be named as a PTBNL
so long as its within six months of the draft, per the post below.
I don't think so. A PTBNL has to be transferred within 6 months of a completed deal.
Or January 13th, which would be well within a year of the draft. So, if true, it’s impossible for any of this year’s picks to be a part of this trade.

I'd be slightly surprised, since he is pretty much their backup plan if Feilder walks.
also why wouldn’t they just name him rather than him be a PTBNL?
Because the Mets haven't picked their players yet
From what I saw, there’s a list of 5 players for the Mets to choose 2 from.

That's got me worried, as a Brewer fan.
The Mets are hinting that one of the guys they’re going to take has been in the big leagues this year, but isn’t now. There’s a lot of guys that fall into that category, and Gamel’s one of them.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jul 13, 2011 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions
Nah. A player can't be traded
before one year since his signing date after being drafted. PTBNL must be determined within six months of the trade.
The Brewers system lacks depth. 2B Ryan Gennett is my guess as being one of the guys potentially in the deal.
