All-Star break notes
-- It was definitely one of the better All-Star games in recent memory. Jose Reyes lived up to his billing as one of the most exciting players in baseball, A-Rod was thrown out at home Scotty Ulger style, Ichiro hit the first inside the park home run of All-Star game history and the NL made things interesting in the ninth against two of the AL's best closers this year. And also, FOX made complete asses of themselves throughout coverage of the game. Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3.
Sunday Notes
Jayson Stark, on his Insider Blog, wrote about Luis Castillo's low slugging percentage. He's currently on pace to break his own record, set in 2000, for .330+ hitter.
