All Star Game recap via my tweets

I really enjoyed the All Star Game this year. I thought the tributes were really nice. I really wish they had done something to for Brian Stowe & Shannon Stone, though.

I decided to recap the ASG by posting what I tweeted about it. I did this a couple times for the school newspaper. It seemed to work out pretty well.  Don’t forget to follow me: @Samantha_1675

Classy tribute to the Az shooting victims. #ASG
 
Once again, Jordin Sparks did a phenomonal job w the Nat’l Anthem. #Asg
 
.@Brianwilson38 should be a commentator when he retires. #Asg
 
Thanks Tim McCarver for recognizing the ATL rotation being able to challenge PHI. #Asg
  
Yes, Joe Buck, Brian McCann is extremely underrated. #Asg
 
 BTW, my prediction is that the NL goes back to back. #Asg
 
It’s about time someone went yard, too bad it was for the AL. #Asg
 
 Get ’em McCann! #asg
  
Way to get the NL on the board! Both runs scored by HR Derby participants. #Asg
 
What was being chanted during Upton’s at bat? #Asg
 
DeAngelo Ortiz did awesome w the batting stances and the impresenation of his dad’s face. Cute! #Asg
  
Third stolen base of the inning, yet no one has scored. #Asg
 
Weeks crosses the plate to bring run #4 home for the NL. #Asg
 
Woohoo Jair and Brian working together in the 6th! Sure wish Tommy Hanson was here. #Asg
 
JK, I think I just saw McCann in the dugout w Lincecum. #Asg
 
That kid is an idiot! 1 Of the best closers in MLB just gave you a Yoda bookbag full of signed stuff. Be more excited! #Asg
 
What another classy move by @MLB. #S^2C #asg
  
So happy for Craig Kimbrel. He deserves to be out there. #Asg
 
Thought Michelle Branch did a nice job, especially by doing it a capella. #Asg
 
PAAANNNDDDAAA!!! #Asg
 
Boch said he’d bring in @brianwilson38 w a 1 run lead. What about a 4 run lead? #Asg
 
 The NL team has used 3 Braves pitchers in a row (Venters in now). #Asg
 
That was the best entrance EVER! #Asg
 
FEAR THE BEARD!! #Asg
 
Trying not to get lost in those ocean blues @brianwilson38. #Asg
 
Hell yeah NL! Back to back! Home field advantage paid off last year. #Asg
 
The Beard itself deserves a MVP award. #Asg
 
Congrats to Prince Fielder on winning the MVP Award. His kids are so dang cute! #Asg
 
Though I haven’t seen the ESPYS yet, I did see Brian Wilson arrive. Stunning.
 
Idk what @brianwilson38 is wearing, but it is AMAZING! #FACT
 
Too bad he’s covering the cougar atop his cane.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Introduction to a baseball addict

Here at Sam’s Hits (and Misses), you’ll be exposed to my thoughts and opinions on baseball, music and probably some pop culture thrown in for good measure.

If you’ve read my bio, kudos to you. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? To sum it up, I am a recent Wingate graduate with a B.A. in Communications (focus in print journalism). I need music, baseball, to read and write to survive.

I also play fantasy baseball (currently in three different leagues) and collect baseball cards.

Things I’m currently happy about:

~The South Carolina Gamecocks are going back to Omaha to defend their title!

~Tommy Hanson’s career high 14 Ks, Dan Uggla’s bat coming out of sedation, Brian McCann being on FIRE and the Braves six game win streak (and a winning road trip).

~Nate McLouth will be rehabbing soon; hopefully this means Jason Heyward will follow suit.

SSA (Sam’s Service Announcement):Don’t forget to vote for your All Star Game selections. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2011/ballot.jsp?tcid=nav_mlb_asgballot-2011

Let’s get a discussion going. Which pitchers would you send to the ASG? Halladay and King Felix are a given. Jon Lester has as many wins as Doc, so he should go too. I’d also send Jair Jurrjens,Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel. Josh Beckett makes a good case too. What our your thoughts?
