SI Grades the All-Star Performances

It's laughable that SI would even come up with a stupid idea like grading just one game. For laughs I clicked anyway. It was dumber than I imagined.

halladay clearly had a worse night than lincecum

but a better grade was given. timmy only gave up 2 hits and there were at least 3 defensive mistakes behind him (including his own).

yeah, I was about to write the same thing. Halladay gave up three runs, Lincecum gave up two, and Tim was hurt by defense. Very important article though. I’m sure teams looking to acquire Halladay are going to think twice because of his low rating in this article.

No mention of Wright’s error behind Lincecum. If he had those two plays, no runs would’ve scored.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Technically it wasn’t an error. But yeah it was a bad throw

Well, he should have made the play. It didn’t require an extraordinary effort.

How do you get a C for an 0 for 3 and an error? That’s a joke, too.

I didn't want to make a Fanshot for this

but Ichiro on meeting the prez:

Ichiro got to meet President Barack Obama, who threw out the first pitch. Obama, visiting the clubhouses, stopped and signed a ball for Ichiro, who gave a slight bow upon meeting the President and appeared as giddy and excited as a kid.
“My idea, when I saw him, was to say, ’What’s up?’ to him,” Ichiro said. "But I got nervous. You know, he has that kind of aura about him. So I got nervous and I didn’t say that to him. I was a little disappointed about that.
“But I realized after seeing him today that presidents wear jeans, too. So my hope is that our skipper, [Don] Wakamatsu, was watching that and we can wear jeans on our flights, as well.”

Hopefully he'll be able to find more stylish jeans than the prez. Those were just awful.

I have no reason to buy cleats...

…but I’d wear those around on the street. Very stylish.

I like the President, but have to say that he has on more than one occasion had the “dorky dad” look going. Tuesday night’s would have been one of those looks.

I’m amazed how he can have such a reputation for being a great dresser, and it may be true when he goes more formal, but man, can he look bad sometimes. The sweats for basketball, those jeans for the first pitch…

how does the manager that looses the game get B

waste of time

by Mannybeatsfranny on Jul 15, 2009 6:38 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Wow, this is a really really stupid idea. Giving grades based on like 2 at bats. As for lincecum: how did he give him a D+? He clearly wasn’t sharp, but in terms of outcome, he wouldn’t have given up any runs with defense behind him.
