I was going over posts today for the All star game. Some of my favorite pitchers are in there... Lincecum, Cain, Lee, Halladay... did Wilson make it??, oh wait yes he did, as a reliever. Victorino may make it. I hope so, he is a dedicated player. If I read correctly Josh Hamilton is playing... and many others. It is great not to have a favorite team... I get to cheer for everyone. Jose Bautista...go Blue Jays!!! I am glad Y. Molina made back catcher, I like him. I like the Modina's, I bet their mama is like super duper proud of her boys.

Anyway...wanders away to see who else is on the rosters.

I know, I am jazzed with the pitching roster on the NL team. Oh yes, Lolina is one hell of a catcher! Yup, Mama Modina has to be proud of her sons! And WOW with the Week's family players!! Jamile, the A's rookie is going to carry on the tradition in that family.

UGH- SF lost the last 2 to the Padres!! Weird, since SD is almost in the cellar- but they always do well against SF here at AT&T. Plus, both games have been really fun to watch as in both, SF caught up, then in the 9th have been so close! Rivalry in Northern v. Southern California National league aside from Dodgers & Giants!!

SF will always be my favorite team, but, I just like following players throughout both leagues because I just love baseball.

My guys are rollin along but the Yanks are rollin along ahead of them still.

Lester sprained something last night. We do not need another pitcher out of the line up. With Dice K gone, Lackey lacking as usual, Bucholtz out with a back thing, the rotation is shrinking.

Looking forward to the guys getting a few days of rest and recuperation.

Well, it took 14 innings, but SF beat San Diego tonight!! Hope they do the same tomorrow. Some game, again- these teams just really get going with each other and both have played some great ball.

Nate "the Great" Nate Schierholtz smacked a home (had 2 tonight) run to braek the 5-5 tie and the Giants had another walk-off win. SF didn't tie it until late (like in the past 2 games they ended up losing), but they won this one!

The Giants hitting ups and downs make me nuts! They are consistently inconsistent on offense! Hot, cold, hot cold..... ARGH!!! But Wilson had a good couple of innings and had his stuff. Good, no more dumb tantrums!

Buster Posey sat in for a couple of innings with our usual announcers and that was kewl- he is doing pretty good after his injury, but it is obvious it is driving him nuts not playing. He probably thinks about what it will really mean to his career and this was only his second season in the majors. He was doing so well and is very talented. But, he seems like a bright guy and level headed- so if his career ends due to this, I'm sure he will do fine doing something else and he is very young.

I am getting excited about the All Star game- now I will be able to watch some of the players you all bring up that have been selected in one game!! Way kewl!

Jury selection began yesterday for Roger Clemens perjury trial. Anyone have thoughts on this case?

I was able to watch the game on Tuesday between the Tigers and Angels. I was able to watch both Verlander and Haran pitch. Both are quite astounding. It was quite the game. Great defense, but outstanding pitching. It was one of those games that had me mesmerized by the technical skill of both men. Haren was a freaking machine!! I could tell by the 8th that Verlander should have not gone back out, his arm was tired and probably quite sore. Then he got ejected. I don't get to watch the Tigers very often, and the Angels only somewhat more often.

I am enjoying looking for the little stars on the backs of the jerseys. I saw some of the players from the Angels that I quite enjoy with little stars. Yeah!!!

You know I am pulling for Buster. I wonder, philosophically, what it is that makes a "star" fall? What is it in their life "trajectory" that creates such a short flame. Not that I want that for Buster, but we don't know what it will be like for him. Young or not, still it has to be one of the ultimate heartbreaks for athletes that train so hard and so long to get where they are and then *poof*. It makes this fox curious.
