About This Weekend

What you missed this Fourth of July weekend as you finished only your third hamburger, threw up at the kitchen table and realized that, well, maybe this stuff is better left to the pros…

Gaby Sanchez is headed to the All Star Game, where he’ll do his best to make sure some other National League team gets home field advantage in the 2011 World Series.

Roy Halladay threw his sixth complete game of the season. He now has eight more wins, 75 more strikeouts and one less stint on the DL than his Marlins counterpart. Why, yes, I am sobbing, why do you ask?

The Marlins lost another one-run game last night. The ninth inning featured an Omar Infante lazy fly ball to right field and a Hanley Ramirez strikeout. Just as your Sunday afternoon barbecue was about as American as you can get, Sunday night’s Marlins game was about as Marlins as you can get.
