Man. I know the Dodgers have some injuries but they didn't even look competitive in this series. It was kind of silly.

The good thing is that as far as I know CC is only missing 2 starts. That isn't so bad. Now, all we really need is a fifth guy. Kuroda, Hughes, and Nova are all pitching a lot better. So , all though we need Andy . All we really need is a fifth guy because with CC only missing 2 starts we could do this easily. I'm just happy CC isn't gone for an even longer time. If he was the Yankees would probably need to put all the chips on the table for a Garza/ Hamels. At this point though I don't think they need to do that.

If when CC and Andy come back, the Yankees are still in first, watch out. Ain't no one overtaking them for the AL East Title if that happens.

I wish the Orioles can hang around long enough for the Wild Card or something. Not because I'm an Oriole fan, but because I am a Buck Showalter fan.

Our pitching has been getting better. I truly believe that we will still be in first place when CC returns. Now, Andy it's gonna be hard to say. Come hell or high water I truly believe we will end up in first place. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we lay all the chips down for a Hamels piece. I mean it would be a one year rental but still I think the Phillies are like in 4th place. It would be a major haul for the Phillies. And maybe he wouldn't be worth all the talent we give up for one year. But, I truly think it could be a possibility.

With the All Star Game rosters being announced on Sunday, I went ahead and did my annual roster prediction. I kept off injured guys like Kemp, Dempster, etc. in hopes that, while they get named to the team, their replacements are named almost immediately. Kinda doubt it but whatever. As it is a bunch of the pitchers will probably be replaced due to the Sunday rule:

National League

Batters
2B: Jose Altuve, Houston Astros
OF: Carlos Beltran, St. Louis Cardinals
OF: Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers
OF: Melky Cabrera, San Francisco Giants
SS: Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs
SS: Ian Desmond, Washington Nationals
3B: David Freese, St. Louis Cardinals
SS: Rafael Furcal, St. Louis Cardinals
1B: Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks
OF: Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado Rockies
3B: Chase Headley, San Diego Padres
OF: Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals
OF: Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates
C: Yadier Molina, St. Louis Cardinals
2B: Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati Reds
C: Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants
C: Carlos Ruiz, Philadelphia Phillies
OF: Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins
1B: Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds
3B: David Wright, New York Mets

Pitchers
Matt Cain, RHP, San Francisco Giants
Aroldis Chapman, LHP, Cincinnati Reds
Johnny Cueto, RHP, Cincinnati Reds

THOUGHTS: I don’t think there are any MAJOR snubs in the hitting department. I nearly left out Carlos Ruiz because I think Buster Posey will win the fan vote and Yadier Molina will surely be voted in by his peers. But as much as I hate the Phillies, Ruiz is just having way too good a year and shouldn’t be snubbed in favor of forcing a third 2nd baseman onto the team or something, sorry Aaron Hill/Omar Infante. Only one backup 1B as well, but that’s fine because Votto should really be playing most, if not all, of the game anyway.

But that pitching…holy shit. As it is, I think several of the guys in the final vote have better cases than some guys I have on the final roster. But I tried to figure out who the players were most likely to vote for, as they do elect 5 starters and 3 relievers. Players often don’t really pay attention to the stats and go based on reputation so that explains guys like Kershaw and Papelbon, while good, getting in despite others having better years (such as Santiago Casilla). Also there’s always a token homer pick and I see no way La Russa doesn’t take one of Lynn or Lohse with the other being on the final vote. Feel terrible for not having room on the Final Vote ballot for Vogelsong, Santana, etc. Almost makes me wish there’d be fewer than 5 relievers, but 5 seems to be the norm. If the NL gets a lead, look out.

THOUGHTS: There is just a shitload of power on this team – almost to a fault with a bunch of swing and miss type of players, especially Adam Dunn who I see being voted in even though the idea of a guy with a sub-.220 batting average is a bit of a joke. If they need a backup DH, it should be Edwin Encarnacion. Also there is no way Mike Napoli should be anywhere near an All Star team this year, but he had an enormous lead in the voting and is pretty much a lock to start as a result. All in all it’s an intriguing bunch of hitters up against the insane NL pitching.

The pitching was pretty straightforward. Matt Harrison is probably the biggest snub and might be more deserving than Darvish, but I think Darvish would get in based on “name” value if nothing else. Whichever of the two doesn’t make it will wind up as a Final Vote candidate anyway. With the game being played in Kansas City I could see Broxton being the team’s officially designated 9th inning guy regardless of the score.

Edwin Encarnacion might just sneak in there. That injury to his hand when he got hit by a pitch really hurt his chances.

Cook pitched probably the best game out of any game pitched so far by the Red Sox with his 81 pitch complete game against the Ms. New lowest for a complete game this season by about 7-8 pitches.

Bard is struggling badly in Pawtucket now from the bullpen. Small fear of this season making it back-to-back years he's struggled.

Hey guys, apparently it's actually not that hard to get a hit against Matt Cain.

I mean Mike Leake had two for crying out loud!

Looks like Dickey's performance against the Yankees on Sunday was just an aberration. Was back to his Cy Young caliber self last night. Gonna go watch him pitch against the Phillies on Thursday.

Dodgers and Astros reach agreement on a Carlos Lee trade. Lee then immediately uses his 10-5 rights to veto it.

Why would anybody willingly stay in Houston?

I don't know maybe he wants to be a DH? Don't forget the Stro's are gonna be in the AL West either 2013 or 2014 I believe. That's probably not a good reason to begin with. But, that might have been a factor.
