Yeah, the score ended up being 8-0 but if you take away the first inning, it was kinda "meh".

A win's a win I guess. Thanks San Francisco Giants, I guess for possibly but probably not helping my team have home field advantage because they're so shitty. None of you should have been starting but I guess if you contribute and possibly assist my team in the World Series (but probably not) then I GUESS a win's a win.

Gotta give credit where it's due to Panda. I thought he had missed too much time to start over a candidate for MVP, but he came through in the first. Sandoval hitting a triple wasn't exactly something I'd have put money on.

Of course I wanted Dickey to start on the mound but at least we already knew that Matt Cain is very good. Ended up not even mattering as the entire team combined on a shutout anyway. Kinda shocking considering the amount of power in the AL lineup. I think Hamilton in the first was the closest they got to a HR.

Didn't watch anything at all. But it was what I predicted earlier. AL got the bats, NL got the arms. The arms won.

Verlander getting lit up must have been something to see.

Shitload of close calls at mid season. Trout is the only one that's probably 100% locked up already. I do think Harper will win in the NL but there's more potential for him to go on a prolonged slump than Trout.

Really don't know on NL MVP. A lot of guys have the numbers, but nobody has that MVP feel this year. Could easily be McCutchen, Votto, Beltran, Wright, Kemp, Melky, or Braun.

Think the "did his team make the playoffs?" tiebreaker will almost certainly have to be used this year since the numbers are so close.

If Hamilton has an extended slump like he did to start June...I could see Trout make push to win MVP along with ROTY.

About R.A. Dickey, he's definitely the first-half NL Cy Young Award Winner, but it'll be interesting if he can keep it up in the 2nd half, and if he can avoid having the same thing happen to that happened to Ubaldo Jimenez (that one season where he was awesome in the first half) happen to him.

The problem with Dickey is that his knuckleball is such a "feel" pitch. You can tell after the first inning whether or not he has a good one going. If he doesn't, it's pretty much a guaranteed bad game. The fact that he's been so consistent with it this year is astounding.

Dillon Gee probably lost for the season. They found a huge clot in his shoulder and he's having surgery to repair the artery.

I really want to see Matt Harvey called up. I doubt the Mets do it though.

I love how Chip Caray called that game.

I love Chip Caray in general, but I still get goosebumps when Kerry strikes out his 20th batter and Chip goes "Twenty!"

Shane Reynolds strikes out the side in the first. We could have a 20/20 game!

Is Dickey an actual knuckleball pitcher or one of those who has it as a mix between 2 pitches like how Mariano Riveria has a knuckle fastball?

Only aware of 1 other guy besides Wakefield in the last few years to throw it as a pure pitch but I think even he dropped in from his routine.

Dickey throws like 95% knuckleballs. He has a traditional slow one and an "angry" knuckleball that he throws at like 80 MPH with a ton of movement. He mixes in a low 80's fastball as well when he needs a get-me-over strike.
