			Think Joe Mauer has had a better first half than Bay, although Bay has been huge for the Red Sox this year.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Can't argue with Pujols though, almost had the 1st half tripe crown  |

			I really wish they could wipe the record of all the roid users, so Pujols could be chasing 62.  We need something amazing like that again.

			The only problem with that idea is nobody knows exactly how far back steroids in baseball has been occurring. You could go by stats or by player appearances but if the San Diego Chargers of the early 1960s are considered the 1st roid team, you have to figure it is possible steroids or enhancements could be older. That and it seems every few years new stuff that was once legal to use becomes illegal in sports. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Best would be to just use an asterix or have a note saying this record occured during a known steroid era.  |

			Yeah, Mauer has been the best player in the AL.  But factoring in that Mauer missed 25 games and that the Twins are in 3rd place, I thought Bay was more deserving.

			Fielder with a 503 foot blast tonight.  Awesome. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Also watched the Celebrity/Legends Softball game. Nelly made a pretty sick diving catch in the outfield and also hit a 2-run dinger. Also, Bobby Knight played 1B and argued over a call.  |

			Big blow to the AL squad.  Evan Longoria is sitting out with an infection in his right ring finger.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	   Sounds like a hilarious injury tbh.  Probably fingerbanged some South Tampa girls.Michael Young slides into the starting 3B spot (no late inning heroics from him then) and Chone Figgins has been added to the roster.  |

			Anyway I kinda have a really bad feeling that if the NL loses it, it will be due to K-Rod...whenever he comes in.  I felt the same way about Wagner last year and he allowed the tying run. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Come to think K-Rod's prolly the favorite to pitch the 9th now that Broxton is out of the game. Gonna be so pissed if the game is lost due to a Met, but it's one of those years I guess.
