It's a shame the Trib won't just eat Eyre's contract. The Cubs' farm system has produced some good looking arms in the pen this season, yet a guy with an ERA near 7.50 is hogging a roster spot because of his contract.

Yeah, Lugo's really pissing me off.

 

Anybody catch Jacoby Ellsbury's major league debut? 1-for-4 but beat out a throw in the second at-bat for a nice-looking infield hit. Good speed on this one.

I can picture it now:

 

Crow: "Well, championships on the Northside are kind of like Haley's Comet."

 

Servo: "Actually, that comes around more often."

 

Should be a fun rubber match today either way.

The Cubs really should have thrown a position player out there to pitch the last few innings. Marquis hasn't gone more than six in well over a month and with the Cubs' pen having thrown 13 innings in two days, things could get real ugly if Marquis continues that trend.

Here's something you didn't see coming, Mike Hargrove has resigned as manager of the Mariners. I have to wonder if he's having health problems considering how the well the Mariners are playing it seems unlikely at the moment that they would force him out.

Wow, that's really odd. Just when you'd think his job was safe for awhile.

This Braves/Marlins game will never end....but the N.L. All-Star starters have been leaked.

 

C: Russell Martin

1B: Prince Fielder

2B: Chase Utley

3B: David Wright

SS: Jose Reyes

OF: Ken Griffey Jr., Carlos Beltran, Barry Bonds

 

Giants fans got their last second stuffing in. I was actually interested to see if Bonds didn't get voted a starter if he'd just skip the game all together.

You know, this "lose everytime the Mets lose, win most of the time the Mets win" thing is getting annoying.

Dan Uggla and Miggy got jobbed.

 

Miggy should be starting 3B and Dan Uggla should be on the team.

 

Obviously, King Hanley as well but I can overlook that due to the insane SS depth in the NL.

Probably shows you how little the players follow the game they are playing as Fuentes, along with Hamels, Hoffman, Peavy, Penny, Sheets and Cordero were player choices, I wonder if Willie Randolph did put a little pressure on LaRussa not to take any Met starters if they weren't chosen in the player voting.

All four of Fuentes' losses have come in the last week. It was a bad week for sure, but you can't fault the players that much for not catching it. He was a having a solid season before hand.

 

I hardly have any qualms over the selections. Freddy Sanchez over Jason Bay and Tom Gorzelanny is probably the most puzzling.
