All-Star Teams Announced
Published 7/6/2008 by Eric Haskell at The Bronx Block

Pat Burrell should be an All-Star, but that slap-nut Clint Hurdle didn't bestow the honor upon him, instead deciding the declining and extra-aging Miguel Tejada deserved to be the second Astro on the NL squad.

JD Got Screwed

... who will listen that he is far and away the most undervalued
outfielder in the game today. Still, I thought enough people knew about
him to at least get him on to the All Star team. JD is hitting .308 and
OPSing (not sure that's a word, but screw it, I'm angry) at .919 with
19 homers and 52 RBI. His only crime is that he plays in the American
League where outfielders are raking this season, and that people still
think the Yankees are good.
Pretty well put. But wait! There's still time: ...though I can't shake the feeling that Giambi, his ...
Pat the Freakin' Bat: an Appreciation and Plea
Published 7/7/2008 by dajafi at The Good Phight: Front Page Posts
... Why is it that I so badly want Pat Burrell to win that Final Vote All-Star Thing? Well, the easy answer is that he's a Phillie, I'm a fan, and it somehow gratifies me, in the stupid but undeniable way of these things, for any Phillie to achieve success. Or maybe it's simply that Burrell's having a great year and deserves to go on the merits. ...

Welcome to All-Star politics, Tampa Rays : Where your team may be MLB's best, but you can't compete with the Red Sox in either the All-Star fan balloting or the "inside baseball" picks for the reserves.

We May Have to Support a Yankee

[image] You can say what you will about Jason Giambi and his checkered past with steroids and man-thongs, but you simply cannot hold any ill will towards his glorious mustache. He's been rockin' the lip tickler all season, and finally, it's getting the respect it deserves. Yesterday, after it was announced that Gaimbi is one of the five candidates in the Final All-Star Ballot , the American Mustache Institute threw its support Jason s way: It doesn t take a mathematician to figure out that Jason Giambi s hitting prowess plus a fashionable mustache, equals a bona fide ...

No more 1-2-3 first innings. No more stranding a runner on second with no outs, or stranding a runner on third with one out. No more horrible Ryan Howard strikeouts on a low-and-away slider. No more Carlos Ruiz double plays. No more Jayson Werth strikeouts. No more fly balls to the outfield by Shane Victorino.
