That Kerry Woods - Andre Dawson commercial was enjoyable.

But I met Buck O''Neal in the gift shop, and he was as gracious as you've always heard. The Jazz Museum is connected, and was pretty neat, too. Did you count Buck as an artifact?

I guess he was!

It was the day before the Hall of Fame was going to announce the 14 former Negro League players who were going to be introduced, and lots of people thought he was going to be elected and was there for an interview.

Buck came into the gift shop first and greeted everyone and posed for photos. The guy in the store said he did that kind of thing all the time. He said one day a tour bus pulled in front and blocked O'Neal's car, and rather than get angry, O'Neal hopped on the bus and greeted everyone on board.

Nice fielding, too.

Don't let teenagers play in the All-Star Game. Unless they are named Gooden.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And that counts as a hit, too. Must have lost it in the blimp.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hanrahan's getting warmed up? Is he not going to let Dickey get into the game at all?

[soupcan]

Um, wasn't R.A. Supposed to pitch the 5th?

Because he ain't and the guy warming up in the 'pen ain't him either.

[Zvon]

tripleshaft!

[Zvon]

An old man hit for Chipper.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I must be getting soft. I'm find it harder and harder to hate Chipper.

[soupcan]

Kinsler gave him that.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

DICKEY ALERT!

[Zvon]

yay

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yeah!!!!!!

Let's see, "What can't Mike Trout do on a baseball field???"

I can name a slew of things he shouldn't and I hope he doesn't...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Good job, RA!!! Give him the MVP!!!

Jeter's thinking: "Erin, interested in a gift basket?"

[Lefty Specialist]

Erin Andrews fellating Derek Jeter on national TV. Oh. My. God.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Harper is not having a good night.

They need to stop with the Jeter love. How about talking to players who actually did something good in the game so far?

[Lefty Specialist]

David Wright up, so..............let's talk about the Yankees.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Oh David. Luckily, Joe and Tim were so wrapped up in praising the Yankees that they didn't notice that Wright was batting.

[bmfc1]

I'm going with Kellie Pickler's shirt for All-Star MVPs.

[Zvon]

Personally I'd rather Wright doesn't expend any energy during the break and this big lead plays right into my plans. Muhahahahah!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Nice pick by David. I was sure when I saw LaHair that LaRussa would move Freese over to third and remove Wright.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice play by Wright! Panda wouldn't have made that one....

That was an extremely nice shirt.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

You can vote for the MVP on MLB.com. I voted for Dickey. The shirt was not on the ballot.

Does it count?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We'll know it counts if a Giants player pulls ahead in the last half-inning.
