Baseball blabberings again.

I don't care if its a popularity contest or not, but Mark Charles Teixeira should be the starting first baseman at the all star game. Not Adrian Gonzalez from the Red Sox. The man is on fire, he just hit his 300th career homerun and has contributed to the Yankees success. Come on, voters what on earth were you thinking?!

Anyway there would be at least 5 Yankees starting in the All Star game in Phoenix come 2 weeks time. Robinson Cano at second base, Derek Jeter for shortstop, Alex Rodriguez on third base, Curtis Granderson in the outfield and Russell Martin catching behind home plate. Hopefully CC Sabathia and Mariano Rivera make it too, for pitchers and of course, Jorge Posada as a backup DH, Nick Swisher, and Brett Gardner. Wishful thinking I have to say, but it could happen.

Yankees are on a season high 7 game winning streak. Whoohoooooo. I would love to see them sweep the Mets in a few hours time, to make it 8.

As of July 2, 2011, the Oakland A's have hit 43 longballs as a team combined, followed by the San Diego Padres have hit a total of 45 homeruns since the season started. Houston has hit only 47. These 3 teams are the lowest in the Majors for homeruns blasted.

When you combine Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson's homeruns, they have sent 47 into the stands. That equals the Houston Astros and is more than what Oakland and San Diego have hit. Holy smokes! Granderson was on fire and has cooled down, Teixeira has matched his career high before the all star break, and could go for 50 if he keeps his mean streak on throughout the season.

They ain't called the Bronx Bombers for nothing!
