• All-Star Blogging: Cabrera In, But That’s All

  • It’s been a Marlins fest on TBS today. First, the Fish nearly blew a game against the Braves, ultimately winning on Josh Willingham’s 5th hit of the game. Now, we find out that Miguel Cabrera, will join Fredi Gonzalez on the 2007 National League All-Star team. The fans screwed up in voting for David Wright over Miguel to start the game. Miguel is the better player and is having a much better season. Miguel makes his 4th All-Star game — a Marlins record. With limited roster spots and every team needing a representative, deserving Fish like Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez were snubbed. Of course, with our record, you can understand why this may of happened.

    While we’re at it, lets recognize the former Marlins the made the team: Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett, Pudge Rodriguez, Derrek Lee, Brad Penny, and Jim Leyland (AL Manager).

    The game will be played in San Francisco on July 10th.

    Update: Cody Ross said it best: “I’m boycotting the All-Star Game. I’ll watch Miggy, then I’m going to turn it off.”

  • Welcome to July — Now Here are the Walking Wounded

  • With the all injuries this season, we’ll start July with some positive news:

    First baseman Aaron Boone, placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a sprained left knee, is off crutches and riding a stationary bicycle. He won’t see any action on the practice field for another three days.

    And…

    Right-hander Ricky Nolasco, on the 15-day DL with elbow inflammation, will begin throwing five times a week in Jupiter.

    Wait, there’s more…

    Center fielder Alejandro De Aza, who was moved from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL on June 16 with a hairline fracture of right ankle, will begin jogging next week.

    Maybe one day this season we’ll actually have most of our players healthy.
