Jason Bay makes 18 million dollars a year.  I really wish baseball did not have guaranteed contracts....Ugh.

I love that a team as mediocre as the Giants has four players starting in the All-Star Game. The NL kind of sucks this year.

Well to be fair, Panda and Posey should not be starting.

I don't get it. Wright was having a better year and, imo, deserved to start. Just as DW, as you previously stated, had no business starting (or even being in) the AS game in '09.  This is an aspect of fan voting that I don't like.

 While it would have been nice to see RA start as a Met fan, I really saw nothing wrong at all with Cain starting.  He is clearly a more reliable option, and I'm certainly happy that the Giants came up big for the senior circuit.

Dillon Gee (the Mets fourth starter) likely goes down for the year just as it appeared he was starting to put in together. I really hope this isn't the start of a 2nd half collapse because this has been a real fun team to watch.

I've actually developed a Zen like acceptance and calm at seeing the bullpen blow every game. Sadly, this is likely the end of any playoff dreams.
