"Hello, Richard. Did you like America?" "Well, I enjoyed Horse With No Name, but after that..."

Back in. Let's see if I can do decently over a full season.

Mets and Phils at Shea, tied for the division lead. Doesn't get much better.

Okay, this is bordering on pathetic now. Uggla's looked completely outmatched up there.

That last one was a little unfair, but three errors in an All-Star game has got to be a record.

If the NL wins this game Cook should get the MVP hands down.

The one at second definitely wasn't and none of the replays of the play at home had a definitive angle. Edit: Good lord, how many times can Uggla screw this team over in one night?

Holy crap. Who woulda thought that Aaron Cook would be the National League's potential savior? One of the best All-Star games I can remember so far.

I can't imagine Wagner's gonna be in for four outs. This as token is a late entry gets. Edit: Stunning.

Jeez, this is gonna be the quickest game played in Yankee Stadium all year.

I'd like to mention here that I'm completely fucking sick of hearing about how great a story Josh Hamilton is. What about beating addiction makes someone better than a person who avoids it altogether?

Nine wins in a row heading into the All-Star Break. Ridin' high right now, feelin' good.

Actually Hurdle's already picked Holliday for that position. In other news, Alou's more than likely done for the year. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gMxj7OS...pslZQQD91R8U6O1 Can't say I didn't see this coming.

Well. That was exciting.

Fernando Tatis? Seriously? Well, okay.

The NL Central is a heck of a lot more interesting this year than I thought it would be. Cards are hanging in there and Sabathia might be just what the Crew needs to make a run. Edit: Oh, Billy. Billy Billy Billy.

I know, it's just that I've gotta be up early tomorrow and wanted to see the end. The longer the rain delay the less sleep I get.

Aw Christ, now they're putting the tarp up? Damn it. Edit: Hell of a game in Cincinnati tonight as Phillips hits a walk-off single to overcome a Cordero blown save.

He looks more upset than hurt, so here's hoping he won't be missing a start. Rotation's patchy enough as it is.

It almost seems like ESPN employs the world's worst commentators to call the Hot Dog Eating Contest simply out of spite.

Duaner Sanchez just got his ankle rocked by a hard ground ball. I'm putting the over/under on his DL stay at 30 days.

I wouldn't count on it considering that they barely resemble a baseball team at the moment.

The folks over at Baseball Think Factory were discussing just how dick a move that is considering the guy can't reasonably fight back. Pushing another player is one thing, but doing it to do a guy who's going to be thrown out on his ear if he lays a finger on Ramirez is another.

Three in a week. That's bordering on asinine.

Six RBI so far for the lesser Carlos (though with Carlos Muniz on the roster maybe that's not fair). That'll probably keep the dogs off his heels for a few days.
