Re Tigers, I enjoyed our inter-league series vs. their team. Sorry Austin Jackson got hit (side of batting helmet) with a pitch by Padilla.

Torre was asked about the All Star game the other day and he answered, “I want home field advantage!!” Enuf said.

No harm done. :') I'm often reminded of a saying attributed to Yogi Berra, "90 percent of baseball is half mental."

Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez was on the mound, meanwhile:

• Brewers pitcher will boycott Arizona All-Star game -- If Yovani Gallardo is named to the NL All-Star team again next season the league likely will need a backup plan. The Milwaukee Brewers pitcher says he won't play if the game remains in Arizona, because of that state's immigration law. "If the game is in Arizona, I will totally boycott," Gallardo says. Detroit Tigers reliever Jose Valverde is of a similar mind, calling the law "the stupidest thing you can ever have." "Nothing against Americans, but us Latinos have contributed so much to this country," Valverde told the Arizona Republic. "We get our hands dirty and do the work gringos don't want to do. We're the ones out there cleaning the streets. Americans don't want to do that stuff."
