[Nigel]

good ole' Clarence Carpenter getting an All Star appearance in his rookie season #marseillesfurture

[John]

I'm tuned in and ready to rock!

[KenH]

Grabbing my popcorn and a beer.
My three free agent signings all all-stars. Feels good man.

Edit: two free agent signings... Amador was from the old regime... Still this off season tho.

[Evas]

4 Evas in the starting lineup!

I have a feeling Suitani is going to put on a show.

[Nigel]

I think it's been a while since there was no London starters? But a lot like Long & Carter have been injured for quite a while

[Hitmen]

Awesome that this is still on the list of things to do for the league

[Nigel]

We need Matt to pop in so we can have all three Commissioners sat in the VIP lounge

[DanD]

The Sovereign League All-Stars take the field and the anthem plays. Yakamochi Suitani begins his warm up tosses in front of his hometown crowd.

[Denny]

It doesn't feel like a real All-Star Game without Markus Hancock

[Nigel]

I believe the floodlights are flickering a bit, there may be a slight technical hitch in the bowels of the stadium

[DanD]

The grounds crew gives the thumbs up and the game is now underway!

Arlington's Pat Barry leads off the game for the Imperial League All-Stars with a fly-out to short LF.

James Heard strikes out on a 1-2 slider up in the zone.

Don Mercer hits a chopper to third for the 3rd out.

Mid 1st: IL 0 - SL 0

[DanD]

Amsterdam's John Matthews take the mound for the IL.

Paul Carlisle strikes out on a 97 MPH heater low-and-away.

Rafael Suarez chops to second for the second out. Matthews is amped up - that last pitch was 98 MPH!

Mike Britt hits a soft liner to left for a two-out single.

Wilson Munoz taps out to Matthews to end the inning.

End of 1st: IL 0 - SL 0

[DanD]

Luis Cedeno leads of the 2nd and Zoom Zoom sets him down on three straight cutters.

Brad Davis flies out to River Pope in center. Two outs.

Smooth play by Andres Hernandez at short gets Raul Medina at first for the third out.

Mid 2nd: IL 0 - SL 0
