May highlight video. Soriano's Pirates series is missing because I am saving that for later. Any criticism or comments always appreciated.

Big Z to start the ASG (unconfirmed)

Yahoo Fantasy sports is reporting that Big Z is going to start the All-Star game.

I know the source seems really odd, but I don't think this is being made up. What does everybody think of this. Personally I think Webb or Volquez may have been more deserving of the start, but Im pumped to see Big Z on the mound at Yankee Stadium starting for the NL.

Thank you Cardinals and Padres. Jimmy Edmonds first half highlights.

Aramis and Clutch Hitting

nji232 — Tue, 27 May 2008 01:55:42 -0000

It has becoming increasingly clear to me throughout the past two seasons that Aramis has quietly (though maybe not to us Cubs fans) become one of the best clutch hitters in the game. Today's home run was just another great example. Over the past two years I remember the homer against the Brewers, a two-run triple against the Reds that tied the game in the ninth inning, his late homer against the Pirates this year that gave us the lead (which we blew), the same against the Rockies, and the two-run double in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

I'm sure there are other examples, but my question is this. How many other hitters in the game today would you rather have up in a clutch situation? Maybe Pujols, but I can't think of any others. Is Aramis Ramirez the best clutch hitter around, I certainly think he is top-5, maybe top-3.
