good
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Hurrah!
Now what will I complain about? ;-) Seriously, it’s just an All Star Game but I was really perturbed he was overlooked while Jose Reyes was put on the team. And Omar Infante. This makes all right with the world. Or at least our little corner of it.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Withrow and Martin pulled early per Coolguy's minor league report
Both struggled, but withrow only went 1 inning and Martin 3, though they weren’t shelled, so I dont know why either went this early, unless….
Something to ponder over.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
Can’t imagine they would both be traded or for who. Fingers crossed.

Yes, but if there was a trade close
and they are haggling over which one to include holding back both would make sense.

I was at the 66ers game. Martin was visited by the trainer in the 3rd but wasnt pullwd at the time. He didnt come out for the fourth, not sure what was wrong. He was very wild while he was in there.

Kuo now an AS
MSTI reporting Kuo has been added as well, per Dylan Hernandez
In a season that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened
haha
well i guess we both caught this one
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

According to Dylan Hernandez, Kuo is replacing Jason Heyward. Does that make sense? Heyward is an OF. Mind you, there were 8 OF’s listed, way too many, especially because there are also 4 1B listed, some of which – Adrian Gonzalez? – will surely be playing DH, leaving some of these OF’s nowhere to play. But it still makes Kup the 15th pitcher listed. Some of those won’t be playing for sure because they’re pitching today, so I think he’s really replacing a pitcher as far as possible playing time goes.
More good news: Kuo named to the All Star team
per ESPN

See above. Heyward is not a pitcher. (And according to MSTI, Billy Wagner was asked first but declined.)
Corey Hart is replacing Heyward in the actual lineup.

Why would some decline going to the AS game?
For practical purposes, couldn’t it be used as a bargaining chip when negotiating a salary?
I’m pretty sure this is Wagner’s final year anyway. He wanted to hit a couple of career milestones, and then hang it up.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.

Found a quote from Wagner earlier this week. He’s committed to retirement.

Hmm
Awesome for Kuo, but replacing a hitter? It would have made more sense to add a top hitter (Adam Dunn? Colby Rasmus), maybe a third catcher (Miguel Olivo?) or a second baseman (Dan Uggla?)
I’m not even sure Kuo is the best choice at relief pitcher (Billy Wagner? Jose Valverde?) But the biggest snub as far as I’m concerned is Mat Latos. He has been lights-out.
It’s been mentioned already that Wagner was first chosen but decline to rest an injury.
