If the season ended today, your NL playoff teams would be the Braves, Reds, Padres, and Mets. If you called that at the beginning of the season then congratulations, you're a big fat liar.

3.10 team ERA. Four starting pitchers with an ERA of 3.25 or lower. 3rd best team defense in the majors. That'll do it.

Their bullpen is ridiculous. Set-up guys rarely get their due, but if Arthur Rhodes doesn't make the ASG, one of the Pads' set-up guys should.

Brett Gardner hits a grand slam. That should shut the people up who think he shouldn't be out on the field.

Angels vs. Royals on Sunday Night Baseball this week.
Royals playing on Sunday night? Holy shit. I seem to remember the Orioles playing on Sunday Night Baseball a couple years ago just because they happened to be in the last game at Yankee Stadium. So I think that leaves the Pirates as the only team left where I can't remember seeing them play on Sunday night. |

If the Mets were to make the playoffs, I honestly think I'd need to get hooked up to a morphine drip when K-Rod pitches *walk* *clickclickclick* *base hit* *clickclickclick* |

Red Sox end 1st half of the season (81 games) with the same record of 49-32 for last 3 years in a row.
This year would be the toughest since 11 guys on the DL list and the worst month of April since 1996/1997. |

Arthur Rhodes makes it
Evan Meek gets the Pirates rep No Strasburg, but Matt Capps gets in Oswalt wasn't picked, which makes me wonder who the fuck will get in from the Astros |

Yeah wtf. Manuel's making it sound like he wanted utility players on the team.
My guess at Final Vote candidates: Strasburg (sigh), Pelfrey, Bell, VOTTO, someone else |

Seriously dunno wtf he was thinking. Zimmerman should have gone as the Nats rep, Bell should be on the team instead of Capps, Votto DEFINITELY needed to be there.
Surprised he didn't put Jayson Werth on the team. If Heyward can't play they'll need to add another OF tho |

lol Fausto Carmona made the team. Hope that doesn't mean Shin-Soo Choo got snubbed. Having 2 Indians on the team would be a bit of a joke.

No Jered Weaver? WTF. He should get in ahead of Carmona based on where the game is played.
Elvis Andrus and Ian Kinsler make it but Michael Young gets snubbed while A-Rod makes it 3 Blue Jays make it No Choo, no Alex Rios? |

The funny thing is the manager only gets to fill like 9 spots on their own. The fans pick the 8 starters, and players choose 5 SP, 3 RP, and 8 backups (one for each position). Plus the final vote.
So with your reserves all set, you would think it's not that hard to look at the leftovers and pick the 9 best guys. |

Wow. Using the stats MLB uses most in determining awards and such for pitchers (W-L record and ERA), you can definitely make the case that Pelfrey should be there ahead of Carpenter and Lincecum.
Unfortunately, the Commish's Office also help Manuel fill out the remaining roster spots. You know damn well they'd rather have Lincecum and Carpenter pitching (as would, admittedly, most of the viewing audience). |

Omar Infante doesn't even have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title.
