Randy Wells is actually making this a nice start. He's sat eleven straight batters down

There is no way a guy with a sub .700 OPS should be starting an All Star game. I'll pass on that consistency.

Really, Chase Headley has been the best 3B in the NL this year, which is pretty sad. The whole infield minus 1B has been abysmal so far.

There are gonna be a lot of All Star worthy outfielders left off the NL roster for a bunch of mediocre infielders.

If he does he's probably not going to play. Needs surgery on his knee badly, but he just wants to play through.

Rangers sign Dominican prospect Nomar Mazara. Contract details haven't been let out yet, but the point of this is that the signing bonus is $5 mil. A new record for international prospects.

The kid's 16 years old, 6'-5", and plays outfield.

Don't spend it all in one place, kid.

A lot of deserving pitchers got snubbed. Frankly it almost feels like some "name" choices were made rather than those who were the most deserving.

Ron Washington said that he left off Sabathia because he was on track to pitch the Sunday before the break, making him ineligible to play anyway. Pretty much the exact opposite of what Girardi did last year when he purposely named a shitload of Sunday starters to get as many guys to the ASG as possible.

ESPN had a really horrible article on the whole snubbing and lack of doing what most managers do every year. They "attacked" Washington for trying to make it easier to create the roster than normally every year a manager naming a ton of players who end up an "All-Star" in name only.

The worst was trying to defend Jeter's spot as being well deserved based on his reputation instead of stats but gave Sabathia a reserve spot by taking it away from someone else who actually earned or deserved it this year.

Dave Ortiz tabbed Adrian Gonzalez and Jose Bautista to be a part of the AL Home Run Derby team. 4th guy hasn't been announced yet. Teixeira said no, calls have been placed to Robbie Cano and John Hamilton.

Prince Fielder is captain of the NL team. No names have been revealed for that side yet.

Both teams might even own the only time actual owners were traded around in a deal which also involved the Expos at the time.

I remember how for a few years in a row the Red Sox and Expos would always do deals with each other and could haven even ended with a potential year of Fenway Park hosting Expos home games had the Yankees not killed the emergency moving plans.

Dunno about the HR Derby this year.

AL

David Ortiz (Captain)
Adrian Gonzalez
Robbie Cano
Jose Bautista

NL:

Prince Fielder (Captain)
Rickie Weeks
Matt Kemp
Matt Holliday

looks like the AL will be taking home the extra money for charity.

...No Ryan Howard? Come on, Prince...

Also, something tells me this will be Jose Bautista's "coming out party"...as in, he'll win.

More often than not, the HRD participants are only people selected to the ASG. That being said, I know Papi asked Texeira and he turned it down. Maybe Prince didn't want to pick a non-All Star.

Def woulda picked Jay Bruce though.

Matt Kemp is having an awesome season, but he just doesn't seem like a guy who will do well in an event like this...he's not a slugger, he's just a complete player that hits Home Runs...

...Ryan Howard is a former Home Run Derby Champion! Maybe Prince is jealous 'cause Ryan is also a National League First Baseman, is a lefty...IDK.

...and Rickie Weeks?! Are you kidding me?!

Word has it that Weeks and Fielder actually have impromptu HR Derby contests in batting practice, and that Weeks usually wins.

Aramis Ramirez's 8 hr's in 12 games would be a lot cooler if the Cubs could win baseball games.

Roger Clemens' perjury trials begins today with jury selection. Judge also said that current and former players will be allowed to testify.

The trial should last about 4-6 weeks.

I'm kinda hoping this on CourtTV.

Normal stubhub tickets start at $5 for a bleacher seat at a Yankee game.

Prices for Thursday and Friday are starting at $65. Dammit.

Aramis Ramirez trade value will never be higher then right now. The Cubs need to trade him. They are going no where fast.

The Red Sox starting pitching woes continue with Lester hitting the DL. Now Lester, Buchholz, Dice-K, and Rich Hill are all on the shelf, plus Lackey has spent time on the DL and Beckett missed 2 starts with an illness. So the Red Sox rotation now looks like this for the time being.

Beckett
Lackey
Wakefield
Miller
Aceves

Beckett has been putting up his best career numbers. Lackey's been a complete bust this whole season. When Wakefield has quality starts he's effective, but his starts are completely unpredictable. Miller has been a nice addition, but his development in Detroit and Florida has been poor, so hopefully Curt Young helps him reach his full potential. I think Aceves is better suited as a long reliever since he's been pretty good at bailing out bad starters this year, but he's all they have right now unless they want to work Michael Bowden into the rotation.
