Jered Weaver

The Angels right-hander leads the big leagues with a 1.86 ERA. He will be the first Angels pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Mark Langston in 1993. Weaver's most recent gem was a complete-game win against Seattle on Thursday.

In his second season with the Phillies, Halladay has submitted a carbon copy of his stat line from a year ago, posting an 11-3 record and a 2.45 ERA over his first 19 starts. He was 21-10 with a 2.44 ERA last year in winning the NL Cy Young Award.

I like their offense a lot better and our pitching a lot better. NL pitcher will probably be better than the AL pitcher at every point in the game. Unfortunately pretty much every slice of the NL lineup is worse than the AL counterpart (Scott Rolen are you serious?).
I tried to log in on my iPad. Turns out it was an etch-a-sketch and I don't own an iPad. Also, I'm out of vodka.

Anybody else really turned off by all the pre-game booing? I understand some booing, but it was about 10-1 in terms of boos/cheers. Be happy you even got the game, Arizona.
It's pretty bad.

 

Plus, the dumb thing is that in booing Rickie, they are assuming that he was chosen instead of Upton, when it could have easily been Holliday.

Thanks, dlk9s. I figured it wasn't just me. The sad thing to me isn't just the amount of booing, but the nature of it. A lot of times you get the almost good-natured booing of your rivals, or a guy who is a nemesis for your team, etc. It just seemed like this was almost mean-spirited at times.
