Another complete game 4H shutout for my boy Porcello, this time against mighty Oakland. Here's what made it weird: 94 pitches, 0 strikeouts, 0 walks, ~2:10 for entire game.

If he isn't in the all star team I will flip out.

he was confused for a good 2 minutes calling it a double play.  but yeah, that game was entertaining but nearly unwatchable.

Why has no collection of fans from one league started a campaign to flood all star voting for the worst players from the other league in an effort to sabotage the game and get home field advantage in WS?

because it would take hundreds of thousands of votes all in the effort to "humiliate" someone who swings a stick and catches and throws and runs a couple a times a day for 2/3 of the year while making 6+ figures. and plus, they'd decline.

Smackie, its too late for this season, but I feel like you and I can single-handedly lead the AL to home field in the 2015 World Series. This could be the very springboard you need to get that elusive GM job!

TAN: if you set the over/under at 4.5 for how many of the crappy 8 starters would actually accept and play, I'd take the over. Never underestimate ego.

Yankees reliever Alfredo Aceves has been suspended for 50 games without pay for a second positive test of a "drug of abuse."

under.

counterpoint: never underestimate that bullshit "for the integrity of the game" nonsense.

I have no idea,  but he ruined my 4th of July.

Samardzija and Hammel for Russell, McKinney, Straily, PTBNL.

The big prospect is a short stop.  The Cubs already have Startin Castro.  Baffling.
