Royals aquire Yuniesky Betancourt from the Mariners for cash and a couple of minor league pitchers.

Milwaukee's bullpen has been driving me crazy the past couple days. They were so good for so long, but have completely fallen apart in late June/early July. Second time in two days the bullpen's blown what should've been morale-boosting wins.

No hitter by ....
Jonathan Sanchez. If I'm even spelling that correctly. Giants VS Padres. Had a perfect game into the 8th. |

Pretty sloppy game for the Yankees today. Kinda looked like the Mets out there. 2 errors that both led to 3-run home runs. For some reason these games always happen against the Angels.

You could almost see that Morales homerun coming. And he crushed that thing too.

Nah. The Mets offense has been absolutely putrid. Three shutouts in the last five days. They sat on their hands when they first got injured all over, because every team asked for a shitload from them because they were desperate. And after lately, that demand only went up.
So, it's now basically pointless to trade prospects for any big bat...because one big bat isn't going to fix this team right now, and their farm system is barren enough as it is. Francoeur is a project. I don't know how it will work out. I have no doubt the guy will drive me crazy since he's shown zero signs of plate discipline or growth in five years in terms of his free-swinging. And I read somewhere that in all of his years in professional baseball, he's only put up an OBP of .350 or higher once...in rookie ball, at age 18. He's 25 now. I dunno. Like I said, I was definitely a Ryan Church fan...but if the Jeff Francoeur of 2005/6/7 can come back, the Mets win this deal. |

Nelson Cruz added to the AL All Star team, replacing Torii Hunter.
Cruz also threw his name into the hat for possible HR Derby participating. Mauer and Inge are the only two confirmed AL guys so far. |

According to the formula of Pettitte as of late, this should be a good game for him.
Hopefully little Weaver shouldn't be a problem for us. |

![]() Angel Berroa only has to drive over the RFK bridge to find work. Mets sign him after the Yankees DFA him. |

Nice win tonight. Jerry Manuel was on the money. While the offense has been bad, the pitching has been even worse. The offense just needs to get a few timely hits to have a chance to win so long as the pitching is superb like it was tonight.
Hopefully they can wrap up the first half by winning a series...something they haven't done in over two weeks.

I'm confused. A Brewers starting pitcher left the game with a lead and the Brewers managed to keep the other team from scoring. Is that allowed?

LOL Joe Maddon did the same thing. Pedroia is out of the ASG so rather than bring in Kinsler, he's bringing in Carlos Pena.
At least Pena was another Final Vote guy, though. |

Thankfully once it gets to extra innings, I know it means an automatic loss for the Blue Jays. Some type of crazy MLB rule I guess.

- So the Rays backup catcher came in last night and was chaged with a catchers balk.
Never heard/seen that before |

Trevor Hoffman and Zach Duke replace Jonathon Broxton and Matt Cain on the NL team. Wonder if Hoffman will blow it again like he did in 2006.
2 Pirates on the team. lol. |

Mets nearly squander a 7-0 lead. Woulda been a crippling defeat heading into the break.
Glad to get a series win, and they ended their power drought. A bit deflating that the Phillies have stopped losing at home, so the Mets really gained no ground at all, and are still 6.5 out...but eh. Hopefully after a couple days off they can play respectably until the calvary arrives. |

Carlos Pena, Nelson Cruz, Brandon Inge, and Joe Mauer represent the AL for the Home Run Derby.
Meh. Pena just got added today and Inge a couple days ago. I'm willing to assume that nobody on the AL side wanted anything to do with it this year since the roster got released this late. |

24 games over .500 at the All Star Break? I guess I'll take it.
So, people told me to STFU until the Dodgers still had a good record at the all-star break... well, can I brag now? |

AL hasn't dominated the ASG for a few years now...they barely squeak by. That being said, I'm guessing AL wins another close one and a Phillies player strikes out in a pinch-hitting role to end the game, making Manuel look like a huge homer.
Thankfully, the home field advantage rule hasn't made a difference since it started as the WS has gone 3-3 since it was put into effect. Of course, two of the NL's WS wins were depressing for me as I hate the Phillies and seeing the Cards win the WS just made me think "if only the Mets coulda won Game 7..." And in other news, the Nats finally fire Manny Acta |

Thanks to Nick Swisher blowing it with the bases loaded against the Angles the Red Sox increase their lead to 3 in the AL East. Got a feeling its gonna stay tight all the way down to the end though. |

Oliveer made a good play on swisher....I attribute the loss more to A Rod grounding into a double play with the bases loaded the inning before...or Teix whiffing with them loaded right before that. They went from bases loaded with no outs, to scoring nothing....
