American League gotta win this All Star Game this year.
Hopefully old man Leyland got a few tricks up his sleeve. |

Jeter's first AB= a patient walk. Looks to be in baseball shape. 2 innings without a defensive chance.

Pirates have almost an equal chance of winning the World Series (5.9%) as they do of MISSING the playoffs (6.1%).

Braves only having Kimbrel sucks. Justin Upton totally doesn't deserve to be there, but Freeman does (and will probably lose to Puig). Chris Johnson has also been one of the best guys at 3rd in the NL, but I didn't expect him to be in.

Pineda started tonights game as a part of his own rehab. he was awful in the 1st inning. The last two innings have been terrific. He looks to be in good form, is hovering the 93-95 range and has found a groove.

Jeter just led off the inning. Rocket line out to 2nd. Bat speed appears to be good.

Brett Cecil's performance against the Ttigers this week I think got him in. Totally dominated Cabrera and company.

Yasiel Puig made it into the Final 5 pool for the fan vote on the NL side.

Jeters last AB was a groundouts to third with good hustle. Looks very close to being ready.
After a very rough first inning, Pineda was great. He's also looking good. |

The worst All Star this year is easily Ben Zobrist. Shitty numbers, was only picked presumably because Leyland wanted a utility guy. No way should Longoria have been snubbed as the Rays' rep.

Rajah Davis should start at left ahead of Melky when he gets back. I know he takes weird routes at fly balls but fuck is he fast and has been clutch.

Starling Marte goes yard on a 3-2 count with two outs to tie the game. Hard to not root for this Pirate team.
Still hoping for a Garza freak injury to kill his trade value. Last edited by Frank Drebin; 07-07-2013 at 06:07 PM. |

2 notes about the all star game:
1. i hope Puig makes it in 2. I am baffled and angered that 0 Pirates made the starting line up. 1st place in baseball means nothing I guess......One of these days you fuckers will wise up :P |

At least the Pirates had 4 reps. The A's are leading their division and only got Bartolo Colon. Grant Balfour not making it is baffling to me. Should have definitely made it in ahead of Glen Perkins. Josh Donaldson was a huge snub too, but it'd have been hard to fit him in even if they did the right thing and put Longoria in instead of Zobrist. I appreciate Leyland giving props to the unheralded set-up guys, but Donaldson, Longoria, Howie Kendrick, and others all should have been in the Final Vote at least. |

Yeah Fosse was saying last week how a "case could be made" for him to be on the all star team but I don't see that at all. It's like you said, he's having a great year but so are 4 other 3B, one of them a lock for the HOF.

Trenton Thunder's bat dog Chase retired on friday after 13 years of service. Bit of sad news for us Yankee fans. He's been battling a form of blood cancer.

I actually saw there being a chance for 4 3B on the team. Wouldn't be the first time 4 guys at the same infield position made it in. Really not that big a deal considering DH/PH opportunities throughout the game and such. I kinda figured Longoria was well known enough that he'd have won the player vote, which would leave Leyland to sort through the other three for one spot, with Donaldson and Machado having the inside track since they can play other infield positions. Could have actually fit both in had the players not voted in Salvador Perez, essentially forcing Leyland to take a 3rd catcher to take care of the Houston rep.
Apparently Leyland actually called Donaldson and apologized to him for not picking him, since he himself felt it was an unfortunate snub he had to make. So that was pretty cool of him. |

So, Vito, as a Mets guy what are your views on Lastings Milledge? Did you believe the hype?

I thought Milledge had the potential to be very good. Not a HOFer or anything, but a guy who could provide a steady bat in the lineup and a decent glove. Maybe a few All Star appearances here and there. I realized he had "attitude issues" that would have been blown out of proportion in NY, but I figured he'd get through it.
I was devastated when they traded him to the Nats for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider. I thought it was way too early to give up on him, especially since they sent him to a division rival only got marginal pieces in return. It's obvious Willie Randolph didn't like him. I envisioned him killing the Mets for years, but fortunately the trade was a flop for the Nats too. |

Ah, thank you. I remember for a week or two he was all over the place but you could see the holes in his game as well as his attitude.
