    How do the reserve spots for the ASG get decided? Does the manager select them or fanvote? If manager selects Marwin should have a shot.

    "Player voting (16 players): Eight pitchers (five starters and three relievers) and one back-up player for each position are elected by the players, coaches, and managers.[5] If the top vote-getter at a position has also been selected via fan voting, the second-place finisher in this category is selected." --per Wikipedia

    Thanks Google.

    Who would have thought that Marwin would be leading the team in RBI and tied for first in HR a third of the way through the season.

    Loved how he hustled his ASS off to 2nd on that bobbled ball by Rickard!!

    Kid reminds me of Billy Spiers!!

    It's great seeing the Rangers 10 games out of first place. There are only 6 teams in all of baseball further out of first place in their division.

    Nice catch. Their bullpen has been pretty heavily taxed this series -- the longest outing for their starter was 5.1 innings.

    They've got Santana going tomorrow - I'm sure they're hoping he does ace things.

    14th inning and they've used the entire bullpen (also earlier game tomorrow)

    He's still here though...making the same pessimistic, followed by a tongue in cheek optimistic, post.

    35-16. Just flat out amazing. With dumpster Fiers in the rotation. This team is fun to watch and I don't think they're at their peak yet at the plate or pitching. I know they're not going to always be NINETEEN games over .500, but let's enjoy the ride. And right now, we're up.
