    I find that amusing. Congrats to Berkman.

    Hey rocketfat, you think Howard could catch for us? :p

    no, but that begs the question: How the hell did the best game-caller in the league not make the all-star team? Talk about snubbery!

    mccann and lo duca??? over bradley ausmus? what the F???

    Nobody's argued that Ausmus should make the All Star team since his batting average dropped below .300, and even when it was above .300 it was only a couple of posters.

    Granted, I asked for it here, but you're schtick is getting old.

    Oswalt should be named as Pedro's replacement, when he (predictably) pulls up lame before the game.

    Its not Roy's fault that his bullpen blew multiple wins for him (which is the only reason, statisticaly, that he isn't there).

    With Garner skippering the NL team I'm surprised he didn't get more Astros on there.

    was just joking around here, which i assumed you also were when you called me out, but if you're serious, always remember, you can simply block all posts from me.

    Besides Berkman and Oswalt, who else on the Astros is having an all-star calibur season?

    Hell... who else on the Astros is having an ABOVE AVERAGE season.

    Tommy John surgery. Everts hasn't ever been able to be healthy. Would have been neat to see him do as well as Kazmir.

    Nice. And he has the second-best nickname in baseball. (to "Pronk") I was sent a link to http://www.bat-girl.com/ a little while ago. Read down and find the "Chairman Mauer" slogans.
