All Star Break is Here
While I was away the selections to the All Star Game were made. No problems here except for the selection of Atlanta’s Omar Infante. Infante is a fine utility man for the Braves. He is a .330 hitter and is arguably the glue for the Braves clubhouse. However, Charlie Manuel selected Infante over Joey Votto. Votto is one of the most dominant first baseman in the game hitting .322 with 24 jacks before the break. So, Charlie Manuel selected a .330 hitter who doesn’t even start for his current team, by the way, over a guy who is on pace to hit nearly 50 HRs and drive in 120 runs. Manuel’s intent may have been good, but not selecting Votto was a disgrace.
Well the annual Home Run Derby is Monday night and again we have players putting themselves over the good of the game and the fans. There will be no Pujols or Ryan Howard. However, MLB slapped the fans of baseball even worse. How about not selecting the Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista who leads the AL in HRs at 24. The only person more upset about this diss was David Ortiz who said Bautista was flat out “snubbed”.
LeBron to South Beach
As predicted by this blog last week, Lebron James would not sign with Cleveland as was being predicted by many major media outlets. Lebron is “taking his talents to South Beach” to join the elite tandem of D-Wade and Chris Bosh. However, the crux of this matter was not the solid core of players Lebron would join in Miami. It was Cleveland’s hiring of Byron Scott. When Scott was hired the breakup of James from Cleveland was complete. Sources have confirmed to me that James had a problem with Scott because of his strict no nonsense style, something he will not have to worry about in Miami.
