Charlie Manuel, on picking Howard over Votto for All-Stars: "He’s my guy. He’s my player. My guy."

Michael Young vs. Alex Rodriguez
Joey Votto vs. Ryan Howard Mike Pelfrey/Mat Latos/Jaime Garcia vs. Tim Lincecum/Chris Carpenter Kinda serves as proof right there that the huge superstars get a built-in advantage when it comes to picking guys for the game. Baseball wants the players that will get the highest ratings. There probably ARE people who would watch solely for the chance to see an A-Rod vs. Lincecum matchup, not so much Young vs. Latos or something |

![]() Man the NL East sucks on the road. Huge week heading into the break. 3 against the Reds and 3 against the Braves. I'd be happy with 3-3 overall as long as 2 of the wins are against the Braves. Don't really see why they still are carrying 6 bench players. Manuel burns out the guys in his bullpen. 6 relievers out there and yet Bobby Parnell pitches every day while Fernando Nieve hasn't been seen in over a week. |

BTW the Reds and the Phillies have a 4 game series to end the 1st half of the season. That should be pretty uninteresting.

In case you were wondering (I was), the last two people to win the MVP without making the All Star team were Jimmy Rollins in 2007 and Justin Morneau in 2006.
Of course Rollins never should've beaten Matt Holliday who was the clear MVP that season. But hey at least Morneau can comfort his fellow Canadian. |

just stating the facts, my main man
not even mad at Howard cause he actually deserved it, but Charlie Manuel is a clown Totally going into homer mode here, but Votto's been arguably the best hitter in the NL this season. Can you imagine what wouldve happened if Manuel left Ubaldo or Josh Johnson off the team? |

Huff/Burrell/Sandoval might be the slowest 3-4-5 hitter group in the history of baseball.

Mets finally get a 7th reliever, calling up Raul Valdes and putting Fernando Tatis on the DL with a sudden phantom injury.
Better hope for no injuries tonight, with Reyes unavailable there are no backups at 2B, SS, or 3B if something happens. Henry Blanco was taking grounders at third. ![]() |

Colin Cowherd, you know, the sports talk radio host who thinks he's too cool to care about sports, said today that nobody should care about Votto because he's not a star.
I dunno why anyone badmouths Jim Rome when his time slot is up against Cowherd's. At least Rome watches sports. Cowherd just follows LA, New York, and Boston teams and then talks shit about every other city and team for not being mainstream enough. |

The thing I like about Colin Cowherd is he thinks a different way then most radio people.
He doesn't hate the Phillies or the Eagles, but any chance he gets he will bash Philadelphia, and do it somewhat hard. He hates small market so much. His love for New York and the Lakers is sickening. His show most of the time is a pro Big-people, and Anti little guy. He hates the hard working people, and only likes people who make the big money. However it was weird how he said Cliff Lee going to the Yankees would be a move that's bad for baseball. It was something I did not expect coming from him. |

A great place for Cliff Lee is on the Phillies, but I guess that made too much sense.

Girardi deserves to be ripped just as much for picking A-Rod over Youk, Young, and Konerko.

Wow, that was bullshit. No way can that reasonably be overturned from where the base umpires were standing.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure they can overturn that at all. Fuck. |

I know it was the right call, but I'm pretty sure the umps just made shit up there.
Yet another example of terrible umpiring this year. It probably will cost the Mets the game now. Blah. Kinda want Barajas to duck and let the ump get smashed in the face. |

God dammit Pelf. The wheels fell off when he didn't get that call. Looked like the headcase Pelf I remember from '09.
Pretty much guarantees Latos gets Gallardo's ASG spot, too (even though Latos deserved it more anyway). |

Really loving Pagan. No idea what they're going to do once Beltran gets up to speed and doesn't have to sit every 3rd game. Next time Francoeur finds himself in an ultra cold slump he could be riding the pine.

What's the word on Infante in the derby this year? I'd love to see it. |
