We are in Arlington for the All-Star Weekend!

Fred McGriff won the Homerun Derby.

We didn't have anyone in it.

Then came the big game. I was starting and leading off.

I led off against Bret Saberhagen of the Royals. I grounded out to Ryne Sandberg of the Blue Jays at 2nd.

We took the field behind Jose DeLeon of the Pirates.
I got into things right away, taking care of a hometown guy Barry Larkin grounder for the 1st out.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and now facing Tim Leary of the Angels.
I faced him back when he was a Met. I grounded out to Seattle's Edgar Martinez at 3rd.

In the 4th, Astro Craig Biggio made an error behind the plate for us, allowing Brewer Barry Bonds to score. Biggio also got called for catch interference that inning.

NL leads 1-0

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 5th.

We ended up losing 4-0, and I was the only Giants to get int he game. Pretty disappointing.

But still... the All-Star Weekend is a blast!

When we get back, we are at home against the Pirates.

Trades are starting to happen around the league. I wonder if the front office is going to help us out as we make a run at L.A.
