Liriano gets All Star nod, after all. After Glavine bowed out, I wondered what Contreras would do. I'm very, very happy Liriano will be there...though I couldn't pick the guy out of a line-up. It's embarassing that it's taken up until today for the baseball machine to finagle him onto the roster, but the point is he's going, so yay. Still rooting for the NL, though.
I totally Jeter fist-pumped in the car when they said it on the radio. It's really a miracle I haven't run my car off the road listening to sports radio when I drive.
Also, there was this great thing where the news dude is talking about all these planned renovations for RFK, and how thousand of tickets in the upper deck will be slashed to $3 and $5. He pauses a beat and then he goes, "winning? would also help." I just about died laughing.
Other things that are awesome: The webcast of the Derby tonight! The woman I'm living with doesn't believe in cable (HEATHEN) so I wouldn't have been able to watch otherwise. So yay, internets.
Also, all that talk in the comments of the earlier post about the STL/HOU rivalry was pretty interesting reading. So thanks for that :P
