Haren gets the shaft

[UncleChris]

The scandal of this All Star game, IMHO. The guy is best in virtually everything except W-L's of which he had no real control of. He should be starting, without question.

...and to top it off, he's stuck with a real loser of a team.

 

[The Commish]

I agree that he should have started, but Lincecum has been pretty damn good too. You can make a case for either guy IMO.

 

[Black Jesus]

why so sour? I hope they put Upton in soon

I think the reigning Cy Young winner should get the nod in a close race

Was that the stupidest Taco Bell commercial ever?

J Up is up!!

Dang hard hit shot to short...

OK, I can understand why Dan was behind Lincecum, nationally speaking.

But the third pitcher? There's no explanation for that.

There is no line of demarcation that suggests the 3rd pitcher played in the ASG is the 3rd best in the league. Geeze! Some of you old guys read into things like it was a soap opera

Why should that matter? Last years awards should have absolutely NO bearing on which pitcher has been the best in the first half of the season.

PRECISELY!!!! And it isn't all that close, either.

Unnecessary.

It could be as simple as Haren pitched on the 10th and Lincecum on the 9th. It could be that Hinch requested Haren only throw 1 IP and the starter typically goes 2 IP. If it's the scandal of the ASG then I'd say it went rather smoothly.

Biggest scandel was Obama's choice in pants. Have you ever seen anyone look so unnatural in jeans?

I was hoping Howard would walk in front of J-UP to load the bases, but he struck out embarrassingly.

It's all about the Roosevelts baby!

Each of the pitchers after Lincecum pitched only one inning.

As a D'backs fan, and because of Haren's super stats (except W-L record), I would have preferred to see Dan honored with pitching right after Lincecum.

That's all.

 

[IAWarnerFan]

Actually, I thought I saw when they were cutting to the commercials Haren about to go out for another inning to pitch. Was that my imagination or was pulled after he started to go to the mound?

Now this guy truly did get the shaft unlike Reynolds.

 

[Mulli]

I doubt he really cares.
