—

By John Schlegel / MLB.com 07/05/09 2:00 PM ET When the stars come out in St. Louis on July 14, the summer Midwestern sky might be a little jealous of the turf at Busch Stadium. With the Gateway Arch in view, the baseball stars lined up on the field for the 80th All-Star Game will provide as ...

Since you guys are always putting politics in baseball, why
"MyTeamRivals" via MyTeamRivals.com in Google Reader — Since you guys are always putting politics in baseball, why didn't you try to get out the All-Star vote? Not one post about voting for your favorite all-star?  I was shocked. Kellen Macomb, IL __________________________________________ Well, Kellen, in what may have been the ...

The Filibuster
Red State Blue State — Since you guys are always putting politics in baseball, why didn't you try to get out the All-Star vote? Not one post about voting for your favorite all-star?  I was shocked. Kellen Macomb, IL __________________________________________ Well, Kellen, in what may have been the largest oversight since the creation of this blog, neither Jeff nor myself exploited this wonderful forum as a bully-pulpit for some sort of get-out-the-vote crusade. However, in typical politico fashion, I am going to refuse to admit to any sort of mistake and instead claim that this was all planned. See ...

Sunday's Press Releases
Fang's Bites — A couple of releases today. Nice to have on a lazy Sunday afternoon. This one is from MLB.com regarding the All-Star Game Final Vote. The All-Star teams for the National and American Leagues were announced today. ...

Freddy’s All-Star selection
Raise the Jolly Roger — The “race” for the honorable title that is the right to represent the Pirates at the All-Star game [was won by Freddy Sanchez this year]. Besides improving the chances of Freddy remaining a Pirate another year (I’ll get to that in a second), Freddy was the right choice. I honestly was hoping Zach Duke would be selected. Duke’s having a breakout year and it seems like the Pirates never have a pitcher on the All-Star staff (Mike Williams, anyone?). A quick glance at overall win-probability, however, indicates that Sanchez was the correct choice–and that Duke would have been a mistake. [In the offensive category], Sanchez easily ...

Victory!
Fack Youk — Good morning Fackers. It was a nice, long holiday weekend that saw the Yanks go 3-0 (we won't count Thursday night as part of the weekend). Now you're back at work; ain't that a kick in the junk? Well let's start the week off with some good news. Give yourselves a pat on the back. The All-Star rosters were announced yesterday, and our call to action last week was successful. Mark Teixeira overcame a last day deficit to overtake our friend Youk as the starting first baseman. Youkilis still made the team as a reserve, and deservedly so. Congratulations are also in order for Derek Jeter, who was the leading AL vote getter for the first time in ...

The case for Juan Pierre to be in St. Louis on July 14
Angels blog — Dodgers Angels Baseball It’s the All-Star Game in St. Louis, with home-field advantage in the World Series on the line (which I think is absurd, but that’s another post). The score is tied. my-mug24 Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers doubles with two outs, and .326-hitting Miguel Tejada of the Houston Astros is due up.  AL manager Joe Maddon elects to have Jonathan Papelbon pitch to Tejada, with lefty-hitting Brad Hawpe (.327) of the Colorado Rockies on deck. NL manager Charlie Manuel scans his bench for a possible pinch-runner for the lumbering Fielder. Washington’s Ryan Zimmerman and Pittsburgh’s Freddy Sanchez are available, but neither one is a burner. Four of the eight NL starting ...
