The Phillies really are gonna need a post-ASG surge to make it 6 straight division titles.
Not liking their odds- Nats look good for now.

The Nats are going to have to keep it up to be contenders. I would worry about Strasberg because a) Hes coming off Tommy John surgery and b) They are going to shut him down. What if they need him for a pennant race?
The Mets look like they are going to lose but I think they will bounce back.
Anybody doing a All Star Thread? Anybody care?

I see that this week's DTV/Extra Innings lineup on the website is all TBA...no channel assignments. What's up with that????
Couple of Questions in the upcoming All Star Classic:
1) HOW and WHY do they allow "retired" managers participate?
2) HOW does Toronto's Encarnation(22 HRs and 55+ RBIs), Tigers CF Jackson(hitting OVER .320+, close to career numbers in HRs and RBIs and play defensively like THE Gold Glove winner in CF), John Cueto(9-4 and a ERA of 2.24?!!) and Brewers Greinke(9-2, ERA 3.08) get snubbed out?!
3) Don't they USUALLY offer All Star games to new stadiums within a year or 2 of opening? Good Ole Bud, states that in the last 10 years, there have been "an abundance of new ballparks" that has led to a backlog of viable venues for the "midsummer classic." For the Marlins, 2015 at the earliest. I think cities that have not hosted an All Star Game or not had one in at least 10 years SHOULD go 1st.

Salsa, I could complain about David Wright but I wont. He made it, thats all that counts but when 2nd or 3rd runner up is a guy who hasnt played for a year, I think you have a right to complain.
I dont know why KC gets the All Star Game. I mean it not really big as far as a stadium goes. Its not Yankee Stadium or the new stadiums that have been built. I do think LaRussa has the right to manage the All Star Game. I really dont have a problem with it. To answer your 2nd question, I would think that the guys you mentioned above would get in because dont guys usually get hurt and have other guys fill in for them? I just assumed that would happen.
This might sound stupid, but I would limit how guys get on the rosters from one team. I mean when you have 6 or 7 guys from one team, thats absurd. If they get voted in fine but I dont think you should penalize other teams.

Rangers be gettin' their a$$es kicked HARD by the White Sox.
YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD.........Y-E-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think he should manage the team, I don't know who to get but he is retired.
I can say the same about two pirate pitchers who didn't get in, every team can say something about one of their players not making it.
If every stadium doesn't get a chance to host the All-Star game then they might as well have it in Hawaii every year.
I know this is a blog but it is telling the truth.

Good win for the Pirates tonight, a great walk off HR by the new guy Sutton.

With the help from the Dodgers the Pirates are tied with the Reds for first place.

cybok0,
You must be in heaven right now. The Buccos are a fun team to watch again! Best of luck the rest of the way!

For God's sake, man...ENJOY THE MOMENT! Don't be willing the team to relive the past. Stop being Chicken Little. 
Salsa, I am fearing the worst for Giancarlo. That MRI may come back showing a tear on his knee and he may be out awhile. I am rolling thru my rosaries right now hoping that isn't the case. I wanna see him in the HR Derby so-o-o-o bad on Monday. If the worst-case scenario occurs, that may be where Lee comes into play for the Marlins.
