Today the Cardinals are pitching Bob Kipper (8-5, 3.38).
The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (11-4, 2.76).
I have the day off. That collision yesterday didn't hurt much, but I can use the rest.
I prefer to play.
I made a fruitless pinch hit appearance but the guys didn't need me, beating the Cardinals 9-4.
There was a bit o fa shock after the game when was saw that Stanicek had been traded. Turned out it was PETE Stanicek, Steve's brother. He went from the Orioles to the Mariners.
The Giants DID make a trade, but it was giving up some minor leaguers I don't know for Mike Griffin of the Rangers.
They have announced the All-Star teams.
Bruce Ruffin is going. So is Scott Garrelts and Dennis Eckersley.
Chili Davis is going.
Oh, and so am I.
I am an All-Star. Wow.
