How did Lance Lynn make the all-star game over Greinke. LaRussa still feels the need to screw over the crew even after he retires. It has been a while since I have see a worse all-star snub.

Gotta win game one. NEED 3 of 4. Come on Crew, get hot!

He claimed he thought he had to pitch Sunday, same with Cueto. You could argue Cueto is a bigger snub then ZG.

I believe I read that Lynn made it on the player vote, which took place before his last two bad games.

[TURBO]

Lynn is/was very deserving up until his last 2 starts...

Gomez batting leadoff yet again and against a RHP. Unless we hear about Aoki needing a day off DRP lives.

[Raw Biz]

Not sure why Morgan and Gomez both have to start the same game. One can't hit RHP and the other can't hit LHP so they should never start together. If Aoki needs a day off, put Hart back in RF and give Green 1B. It's maddening how little Taylor Green is playing. I know he hasn't really gotten it going this year but it's hard when you're not even seeing 5 consistent ABs a week. Let him play everyday in AAA and call up Bianchi then if that's how it's going to be.

[TURBO]

Well, "Gomey" scored the game winning run last night, so regardless of anything else, he HAS to start this game because he has photos of RR in compromising positions of some kind...

[TURBO]

I think we should be celebrating the fact that our "manager" has figured out that the catcher does not have to hit 8th no matter what.

Hopefully he remembers that when Lucroy comes back.

[rluzinski]

Gomez batting leadoff against a RHP is about as crazy as you can get.

[Funketown]

Why can't Izzy hit tenth?

[rluzinski]

I think RR constructed this lineup to see if he could get zero runners on base for Braun tonight.

[stoutdude04]

Nice when a routine double play ball goes for a hit and 2 runs. Neat.

[Glennron]

Four guys with sub .300 OBP's batting directly before Braun.

[owbc]

Loading the bases with a hit batter and 2 walks? Looks like the old Zambrano we know and love.

[logan82]

Now we just need a walk on a close pitch for the blowup.

[logan82]

And here we go....

[stoutdude04]

Fun watching an opposing pitcher meltdown a bit.

[owbc]

If this gets to Izturis, can we pinch hit for him?

[pebadger]

Guillen and Zambrano is a match made in opposing-fan heaven, isn't it?

[RockCoCougars]

Thataboy, ZG. Nice to see someone on this staff protecting the hitters for a change.

[Raw Biz]

Good thing Izturis is so good at defense.

[pacopete4]

Wonder what he said to him going by the mound. Hopefully this game gets fiesty.
