Congrats to Utley and Ibanez.
Ibanez, don’t you dare play

I can’t believe Ibanez has never been to an ASG before. But I guess when you play on the same team as Ichiro for most of your career, you get overlooked.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

Well he’s also never had a season such as this or a rabid fanbase such as this…his numbers never really justified a manager or players pick…then again AS appearances are silly.
Time Wakefield second oldest player ever to make 1st all star game.

Just switched over here from the All-Star show. Good to see both Chase Utley and Charlie Manuel getting some interview time with David Wells & Co. I loved it when Charlie was asked why the team was doing so well on the road and so poorly at home: he said he used to give some reasons why, “But honestly, I don’t know.” What a refreshing answer.

Brett and Cole both have higher VORPs than Blanton. Blanton might pass Cole today (likely), but he has been a lot luckier than Cole.
Cole has a 3.61 DIPS ERA while Blanton has a 4.68 DIPS ERA.

In the month of June, I had this variety case of Philadelphia Brewing Co. beer, which I generally like, but this case was skunky. I shouldn’t have, but I slogged through it anyway. Ran out on Wed. Picked up a case of Victory Prima Pils, and we are good to go.
