That is true, but it seems like all the players prefer three days off versus participating in a game that is supposed to be meaningful but really isn't. The "play everyone who is healthy" undermines any meaning from the game.

I'm sad that I now seriously hate the All-Star game. And I think everyone else does, too. The fans vote in all Yankees, and then those Yankees find reasons not to play in the game. Jeter, A-Rod, Rivera have all decided not to play.

I am awake. But no.

Yes, it's just you and me. It's a conspiracy to make women feel better about their weight. So they keep re-aligning the sizes. So it's actually a conspiracy to make us feel adequate. Look, size 4 jeans fit me!

You're always so helpful. Will you be my BFF?

Only if sharting counts. A few times.

It's all show for the Pirates to draw attendance. I mean, it's better than DJ Kitty or whatever, but a competitive team is even better. Which they have!!

That's my first +1 ever. For Huey Lewis. I am ever so proud.

They have the payroll to keep him, especially after that Huey Lewis concert. This will tell you a lot about the Pirates organization.

Yikes. That would be a long wait.

I don't know if it is working at all. No, they are dirty. Yuni soils her clothes.

There's your key word though. In most brands. Every brand is different. And I alternate between juniors (odds) and women's (evens). So a pair of 1 jeans won't fit but a pair of 2 will — because of that distinction.

Serious plumbing DUAN ...

I didn't know that either (about Burba) so no worries.

Will cheap Pirates management keep him?

One of many, many reasons I don't like the All-Star Game. Good articles on SI.com about the game. Interesting, lousy comments. Glad I have Deadspin for reason.

Arghh. Yet another thing I hate about being a girl. Trying to guess which size to order. Guys who don't have girlfriends/wives have no idea how frustrating this is. In my closet, I have jeans from size 0 to 9. It just depends on the brand. Why can't it be about waist size/leg length?

We do have speed. That's where the bad base-coaching seems to come into play. Fowler gets thrown out way too much, and now he's in Triple-A, while we're stuck with .060 hitting Ian Stewart, who doesn't have speed or power. It seems like other teams are taking more advantage of the altitude, which isn't that big a…

Well, that's something right? And the McCutchen snub was just that.

I can't take it anymore. I'm ordering pajama jeans.
