Out the window.

Two people's chances for a Cy Young award came to an end today. Tim Hudson giving up 5 earned in 2 ip, and also Francisco Cordero, who was in pace for 59 saves while only allowing 17 hits, compared with Gagne's Cy season of 55 saves and 37 hits. With the blown save he is out of the Cy picture. There are still plenty of candidates left though in both leagues.

Hopefully Hudson is okay though and starts at least getting his pitching back in line for a 15-18 win season and only 7-9 losses.

Haren just keeps pitching as the heir apparent to Zito (particularly his Cy season)

Keeping with the Cy talks, Johan is 6-6 this year. Unless he rattles off 15 straight wins (not impossible) and ends up leading the league in strikeouts (not impossible), than he is most likely out of the Cy picture as well.

I hate watching Saturday Baseball on FOX, the announcers mess up stats, people's names, and just have overall poor descriptions of what I am seeing on the screen.

AL definitely isn't running away with interleague like they did last year, so to get my semi-bold prediction on paper, NL is going to win the All Star game this year. ... And for the pretty bold prediction it will give the Padres the home field advantage in the WS.

Which is more interesting: Giants SP Noah Lowry having to play outfield or Tampa Bay's Utility Infielder Josh Wilson pitching?

Wilson pitching in my opinion. Hit 88 mph and hadn't pitched since high school. Which would win an all pitching team or all hitters team?
