Drunken, Ballet-Loving, Animal-Rights Activist Fucks Over John Maine
Published 7/1/2007 by GC at Can't Stop The Bleeding
... OK, perhaps there are bigger things in the universe to be outraged about other than the Mets failing to place 5 guys on the NL All-Star team. But it is hard for this (admittedly biased) observer to look at the exclusion of John Maine (9-4, 2.47 ERA) compared to the invitation handed out to Rockies reliever ...

Fantasy Baseball Gives Meaning to All-Star Game
Published 7/1/2007 by derrick eckardt at RotoNation
... . The All-Star Game has a number of players getting voted in, that in years past, never would have made it. Why? Because stat-conscious fantasy baseball players know what players are (or are not) tearing the cover off the ball. The best example is Prince Fielder having an incredible year in Milwaukee, and beating out perennial All-Star Albert Pujols for the starting first base slot. When was the last time a Brewer started at first base in an all-star game? Personally, I like to gauge how well my team is doing by the number of all-stars I have, which is no hitters and three pitchers this year. Here’s a link to the 2007 MLB All-Star rosters. ...

All-Star Selection Thoughts
Published 7/1/2007 by ubelmann at The WGOM
Teams listed here . I guess I m not terribly surprised by any of the decisions. Neshek over Nathan for the last roster spot is a little surprising, though. Based solely on the first half of this season, I can see why you would pick Neshek over Nathan. But stepping back and looking at the bigger picture, Nathan s been doing it for longer, and I still consider him the superior pitcher, though the difference has gotten to be pretty small. Jenks made it because the White Sox needed a rep, so I have no real argument there. Putz, Papelbon, and K-Rod are all deserving selections. Personally, I think it s ridiculous that Victor Martinez gets selected over Mauer, but I guess I like my catchers to be good at catching. Mauer was about 10 runs better at the plate than Martinez last year, and Martinez needed Mauer to sit out for a whole month to get 10 runs ahead of Mauer this year. Ratewise, Mauer s as good as Mart ...

For Maine, right may be wrong
Published 7/3/2007 by Dan at 11th and Washington
... Obviously, neither pitcher was needed to fill the quota for his respective team, since both the Mets and Phillies had starters selected by the fans. The only possible explanation I can find is that Hamels is just one of three left-handers on Tony La Russa's NL squad. So maybe the micromanager felt he needed one more southpaw to neutralize the AL's lefties. ...

... lie Mays always nice to see the greats. 6:27 PM MST: Ken Griffey Jr. Plus, 3 of the first 6 are Mets. And Russell Martin who spent some time in Utah with the Orem Owlz (Lackey, K-Rod, Sheets, Ortiz and Fielder have all also played in Utah in either the Pioneer League or the PCL). 6:26 PM MST: Barry Bonds huge applause, as the MLB expected. It seems like stuffing the ballot box really worked. 6:26 PM MST: Jose Reyes the most exciting guy in the MLB? 6:25 PM MST: 3 Tigers in a row Magglio, Pudge and Polanco. 6:24 PM MST: Boo A-Rod and Jeter. Yay for Big Papi and Vlad Glad. 6:16 PM MST: Line-ups being announced. AL first, led by the managing group from the Tigers. Well, here we are. It s the 2007 MLB All-Star Game, featuring the best of the best provided that you are the best on your team (or that you had the best year on your team last year). I like the whole every-team is represented thing, but I m still not getting the Sanchez over Snell/Gorzo thing. But maybe that s just me. ...
