I would be as useful as Chase Utley and Jayson Werth in the line up right now.

The All Star game is something I hope the new Commish changes up in 2012, cause we all know Selig won't do anything. MLB defends the fan vote saying "it's the fans' game" - fine, but if you're going to allow the fans to pick the lineups (and often times wind up with undeserving players participating), you can't put something of importance on the line in it.

Im still trying to figure out who the one Os rep in the ASG will be. Probably Ty Wigginton, but he's been on a slide for the past month. Plus Ty Wigginton, ALL STAR just sounds odd. We dont even have a pitcher that could get added and not used.

R.A. Dickey's been a great pickup. Also glad to see The Animal hit one out.
If the Mets drop the next two to the Orioles, I'll give up hope on them winning a single road series this year. |

About that Cliff Lee stuff, I highly doubt the Yankees go after him.
They've passed on Santana, Sabathia (via trade) and Halladay in recent years. And those were all in years where their rotation was much less stable. Right now they have 5 solid starters. Barring a big injury to one of the 5 starters I see them passing since it really isn't even necessary right now. The way the lineup has been going with injuries I see that as their main concern. I think its a given that they go after him in the offseason as a free agent though. |

Also, what are the chances Lee actually signs an extension with a team that trades for him? Wasn't he traded from Philly because he wasn't interested in discussing an extension and wanted to hit the market as a free agent?

He was interesed in an extension. I think the Phillies thought his agent was asking for too much.
The Yankees can easily win the World Series without Cliff Lee, but if you get Lee that's like the best ever Postseason rotation. No way they lose. Cliff Lee is so good. |

I'm so glad this ridiculous Braves road trip is over. They've played the fewest home games in baseball, and have had one of the best home records so far this year. Not to mention they've played for 20 straight days...the off day tomorrow is well needed.
And I think its getting pretty close to the point where Chipper needs to figure his shit out or go home. At this point, I'm not sure he will ever get back to form...he's never had a slump this bad in his career. |

First 3-game road sweep since September 2008. Nice. I'm not used to the Mets actually cashing in against bad opponents.

ESPN Magazine conducted a poll after the Galarraga perfect game. 100 random MLB players took a poll on the best and worse umps in the game, instant replay, should the Galarraga game be overturned. Interesting results.
Survey Says ... Results from ESPN The Magazine's Baseball Confidential poll of 100 major league players. For best/worst umpire, players were asked to list their top three in each category. For a closer look at the survey, check here. ![]() 1. Jim Joyce (53%) 2. Tim McClelland (34%) 3. Jim Wolf (15%) ![]() 1. CB Bucknor (37%) 2. Joe West (35%) 3. Angel Hernandez (22%) ![]() 1.

The apology and him knowing he made a huge blunder helped Joyce a lot since it confirmed a lot of the reasons why he is well liked by the players.
From what I read, a lot of the players hate the antics Bucknor does on certain calls and strike-outs more than a general "hatred" on Joe West for his ego/eagerness to toss anyone out of a game. |

The SF Giants having orange jerseys playing the Os on "Halloween night in June" is amusing. The O's getting spanked 10-2 is not.
Plus the Os got hosed on a call at 1st, runner beat the ball to the bag by about 5 feet but its 10-2 in the 9th with 1 out.. |

The Phillies are down 2-0 in the bottom of the 2nd to the Yankees.
It's safe to say this game is over. |
