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."
Ubaldo was a little wild at times, but in the end our NL pitchers prevailed, with a little help from defense and the Mighty McCann’s bat.
We’re going to be hearing about the Arizona All Stars game for the entire coming year. It will be tiresome. I hope none of the Dodgers disgrace themselves by chiming in. To paraphrase Laura Ingraham, “Shut up and play baseball.”
OTH, if equal numbers of players (and managers) from each league boycott, then who cares?? The cream of the crop will remain and I will be there to support Arizona.
