All-Star Diamondbacks, #5: Dan Haren Makes His Point, 2009
In 2009, as we rolled our way toward the break, the question seemed to be not if Dan Haren would make the All-Star team for the National League. That appeared to be little in doubt, as he racked up great outing after great outing. The question, to which we were already anticipating the answer, was...
Wednesday Rockpile: Rockies Fans, Welcome Your AL Overlords
Death, Taxes, and the AL winning the MLB All-Star Game. For the last 13 years at least, these three things in life have been certain. As a result of their 4-3 victory last night, the AL will have home-field advantage in the World Series, which Tim Keown thinks is just the dumbest idea in sports...
Halloween At Dodger Stadium
American League 4, National League 3 The NL failed to win the All-Star Game for the 13th straight year, falling to the American Leaguers 4-3 at Busch Stadium. This means the American League will get home field advantage in the World Series, so games three through five are tentatively scheduled for...
No All-Star MVP For Curtis Granderson?
Have you seen this man? He was last seen wearing a Detroit Tigers jersey, being robbed of an All-Star MVP award. Okay, maybe that's a bit much. And Carl Crawford certainly made a fine catch to rob Brad Hawpe of a home run that would've given the National League a 4-3 lead. But how about the guy...

In other words, the winner of the game will be given home-field advantage in the World Series. Many people wish that this weren't...

Tonight in St. Louis, we get some national affirmation for the Detroit Tigers' first half of the season, with four players wearing the Detroit road greys on the American League All-Star team. We don't know how much either Curtis Granderson, Brandon Inge, Edwin Jackson, or Justin Verlander will...

All-Star Game Open Thread
I don't know how much you care about the All-Star Game. I just can't get all worked up about it, even if the nitwitted commish has stupidly decreed (attaboy, Travis!) that it determines home-field advantage in the World Series.Anyway, use this as your Open Thread to discuss the evening's...
Tuesday's Frosty Mug
Some things to read while your insurance premiums go up. By the time you read this, tickets will likely already be sold out for the reduced price outfield loge seats for the Padres series in August. Prince Fielder hit 23 home runs last night on his way to winning the Home Run Derby, meaning those...
