Their pitching has been among the best in baseball. They have a few holes in the lineup, but I'm betting that for the first time in 20 years they'll be looking to add talent to the roster before the trading deadline, rather than dumping veteran talent to save money. Andrew McCutcheon looks like he's going places as a baseball player.

I was on my way to bed when my older boy got home from work and told me Cain was perfect through 7, so we put the game on and I watched the last two innings. This is one of the things I love about baseball. Obviously I'm excited because it's one of my boys this time, but when I hear about any pitcher from any team on the verge of throwing a no hitter or perfect game, I can't help but get excited for that guy and watch the last couple of innings. Homeruns and other records are exciting, but nothing compares to a dominant pitching performance because it's something that builds excitement as the game goes on, to the point where the fans in the stadium are going nuts over every single pitch thrown. The intensity you feel is unmatched in a sporting event, in my opinion... no matter who the pitcher is or what team he plays for.

The Blue Jays lost 3/5'ths of their starting rotation this week!

The Phillies' bullpen is frustrating the hell out of me. In the last eight games, they had leads of multiple runs late in the game, only to have the relief corps blow 5 of the games wide open, usually as soon as they enter.
The two they won was because Blanton went the distance and Hamels left after the Phillies were leading 9-1 in the ninth. Contreras, Schwimmer, Qualls and Bastardo (who is really living up to his name) don't belong on the roster. I know that you are a huge Philles fan Klyde, and was wondering what you are hearing regarding talk that the Phils just may be shopping Hamels around.

The Nationals are good. This is the first time I've been able to see them live on TV. It looks like there setup for a long time to come too. The Nationals are loaded with some of the best young talent in baseball, and it's finally ripened. I've watched these guys since they've been playing AA ball here in Harrisburg. Actually, this franchise has produced the most talent in baseball in the past 20 years. It was only because the Expos couldn't pay the salaries that they couldn't compete, and when MLB owned them, the league was more interested in treating the Expos as a minor league team, whose players were available to the highest bidder. But Washington has made the most of their recent picks, and should be competitive for quite a while. I should add that Ian Desmond is the next Jeter.

My prediction for game mvp is Justin Verlander.
Well, this was a brilliant prediction.  As it turned out, Verlander was a human pinata for NL hitters, giving up 5 runs in one inning. He was the least valuable player as it turned out. I loved the result of the game though. Congratulations to Blibble's Giants, who rose tall in the Mid-Summer Classic. My favorite moment was Ian Kinsler letting Chipper Jones' grounder find its way into right field to give him a hit in his last all-star game. If he had done that in the 70s Pete Rose would have chewed him out on the field.

Oh wait, that did happen with Rose.

Well, this was a brilliant prediction.   You gave me a good laugh Klyd Congratulations to Blibble's Giants, who rose tall in the Mid-Summer Classic. I'm certainly proud of my boys! I would have been anyway, but I was getting very tired of hearing about Mets fans/management and the media thinking it was a good idea to rip FANS for voting three Giants to start. Regardless of how good the points were that Wright should have started over Sandoval, the fact is the Mets fans didn't vote their guy in. And to see Sandoval clear the bases with a triple was sweet. Klyd, you always have interesting trivia, so I'd like to know has there ever been that many triples hit in an All-Star game? I never heard any mention about it on ESPN, or during the broadcast so I'm not sure.
