Wake on First All Star Game – “I Would Have Rather Gone Hunting”

Maddon is a fucking cocksucker. I understand this new tendency to put in closers. It’s the smart way to go but Maddon should have put in Wake over Papelbon. Wake doesn’t need the rest like the others and it would have made for great TV to have a knuckleballer in there with a new catcher.

Agreed pretty fucked up.

you are all idiots.

Fuck you Maddon and your gay ass glasses.

And seeing Rivera close the game again made me sick. Like he hasn’t been in enough all star games yet. Give someone else a chance. I was actually wishing for him to blow it.

but its all about The Roosevelts baby

He should have put him in for at least one batter.

Wake was the extra inning guy. They need a true middle reliever all star slot. Having 5 closers is stupid.

you guys really wanted victor martinez to catch wake? he was going to be the 2nd or 3rd guy out of the pen or not at all.

How about that heater Obama threw out… What the hell was that???

first off…wake looks like kid rock in that picture
second… its bullshit that he didnt pitch…who gives a flying fuck about edwin jackson
third and final…if i had to listen to the gatorade drums and fox orchestra theme one more time i was going to put a bullet in my head

Maddon was trying to lose he doesn’t want the Sox to have homefield advantage during the WS…

There’s nothing worth killing in season right now you putz, but I’d rather blow away something instead of wasting my time at that game.

You guys are all fucking clueless. The game actually does mean something now so why would you throw and old hag like him out there in a close game. They won the game, shut the fuck up

Die hard red sox fan here and i DESPISE joe maddon because i think he’s a fucking old prick, but I didn’t want to see Wake out there last night over those closers (Pap, Nathan, Rivera). If that game had gone into xtra innings however they might have needed 2 or 3 innings out of him. I just think with him having to face an all-star lineup if they got to him it could have been trouble for the AL, just too risky.

Hey, it’s never easy being a novelty act. Wake knows it and told everyone he could care less if he made it into the game. Just relax.

Come on, everyone loves Wake, good guy and all that BS, but it’s a joke he made the team. His ERA is 4.3, he has a bunch of wins cuz he pitches for a great team. He’s lucky he was even there. He’s a 5th starter pitching like a 4th starter, that’s not an All Star

sniff it, sniff it please

its an all star game game not a freak show

what a stupid post….we want Maddon to empty his bullpen to throw Wake a bone? If he did that and they go to extra innings – he gets killed for managing like an idiot. Instead he is getting killed by idiots for managing the game right. I prefer the latter.

I think Wake not getting in convinced me that MLB has to stop this shit with the All-Star game determining home field advantage in the WS. Let the best record determine it. Even if it’s some weak ass NL team playing in some weak ass division. It will just mean they really have no advantage. I’d have rather seen Wake play & who the fuck cares who wins. Let it be an exhibition game. That was total bullshit. I’m a Yankees fan too, but I was glad for Wake he made it. Not getting in was bullshit.
