Hello, and welcome to the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game! Just kidding, this is not the All-Star Game. But the All-Star Game is on television, and this is a blog post about it. This will also develop into a series of blog posts about it. By which I mean I am going to liveblog the All-Star Game, and you can follow along!
MLB All-Star Game 2011: Time, Rosters And More!
Some of the absolutely critical details:
Time: 8pm Eastern
Broadcast: FOX
Gameday link: hereabouts
Rosters and lineups: here you are
Unfortunately this post is going up too late to link to the MLB.com live stream of batting practice, but believe me, you missed out if you didn’t see it. Here’s what it looked like most recently:
And shortly before that:
Looks like the home run derby messed up Robinson Cano's swing after all. Tough break, Yankees!
A year ago, the National League beat the American League 3-1, after Brian McCann drilled a three-run double off Matt Thornton. Thornton is not on the All-Star team this time around, presumably because of that one incident, so look for the AL to resume its winning ways. It's also worth noting that last year's game ended at two hours and 59 minutes, which seems absolutely incredible. Wait a second, the All-Star Game before that went 2:31. Do these things really not regularly stretch for four hours? How do they not regularly stretch for four hours? They must just feel like four hours, because they are All-Star Games.
I hope you’re ready for a game of baseball featuring between zero and several dozen of your favorite stars! A World Series game in either Philadelphia or Boston rests in the balance!
