The Cub fan in me, not so much.
Carl Crawford of the T.B. Rays wins the M.V.P. thanks to a game saving catch he made in deep center field.
Shortest all star game in 21 years. Just 2 hours & 31 minutes.
I'm sure the networks will get their bowels in an uproar over that.
Well, great pitching will beat great hitting every time. There was some NASTY pitching going on last night.

Nice to see ONLY 2 walks the entire game (and 1 was an intentional), AL pitchers 72 strikes in 108 pitches & NL pitchers 79 strikes in 118 pitches. Tiger pitcher Edwin Jackson, 4 pitches, 4 strikes thrown, 3 outs! Now THAT is some pitching!
Corona by day, Corona by night, any old time is just alright!
OH MR. Trooper????? Did you happen to catch Daniel Bard pitch tonight???????? Still want to send him down to the minors to learn how to pitch????? He seems to be doing just fine in the AL East.

The Phils 5 games up on the division, took out the Marlins 2 games so far. Pedro being added, god only knows what that will bring. Bats are getting hot, but we need Holladay, fingers crossed.
tomorrow we're throwing a Double A promising prospect, Matt Latos
it'll be a perfect day downtown at Bark Park... I'll probably still go just for baseball in the sunshine
C'mon, Chargers season!!!
$#@&...only Vegas again?? Padres ...gotta start believin'!Bring on '14 Spring Training!
DENVER -- It was darn near a home run. It was almost a triple. But for Todd Helton, it was ultimately fitting. He knocked his 500th career double off the top of the right-field fence at Coors Field during the third inning of Wednesday afternoon's game against the D-backs.
Helton became the 50th player in history to reach the mark by driving on 0-1 changeup to right with Seth Smith on base. Smith collided with D-backs shortstop Stephen Drew after rounding second and was awarded home plate on an interference call. Helton made a hard turn around second, but decided to stay. He was given an RBI.
After the play, which reduced the Rockies' deficit to 3-2, Helton received the base as a gift, and accepted a long ovation from the crowd. Arizona starter Garland, who has given up two of the 500 doubles, also stopped to applaud Helton.

How cool for you! Our most excitement lately at the ball park was last Saturday when a helicopter was supposed to drop $2,000 in one dollar bills onto the field after the game. Because of technical difficulties, the helicopter cancelled so Lou E Loon spread dollar bills on the field with a leaf blower I wasn't one of the lucky 20 people selected to go out after them though. I LOVE minor league baseball.
Oh and the Loons beat Garry's Kernels that night. In fact we took two of three games from them this visit. (this is amazing....they are a good team and last year we were the league's worst) We actually have a good chance to make the playoffs this year
Now THAT is some pitching!
Unfortunately yes I do know he will -a$$ho!e
