What a Bummer! Replaced by Bartolo Colon!

First, no Home Run Derby for MadBum, now no All-Star Game at all.

And BTW, did you see last night that the rookie Rockies' pitcher, Tyler Anderson, got not only his first major league win but also his first hit and a home run? He had been 0 for 10 at the plate. So that goes to show that even a pitcher can bat - once in a while.

since it gives the team a better chance for one more win before the ASG.

Didn't see the Anderson news. Good for him!

What if he has to hit? (Pitchers do hit in this game, right?)

Terry Collins hasn't named his yet. Daniel Murphy?

So forget about all the talk of Colon maybe hitting.
