Pujols? Who?
Boston’s pitchers and Renteria saved me.
The All*Star Game Ballot is now open on mlb.com. I’ve listed my quick picks below (trying not to be too biased towards Boston nor my fantasy team; meaning I’ve got far too many Yankees for my liking).

Everyone can vote up to 25 times.
| AL | NL | |
| First Base: | Ortiz, D., BOS | Howard, R., PHI |
| Second Base: | Cano, R., NYY | Biggio, C., HOU |
| Third Base: | Rodriguez, A., NYY | Wright, D., NYM |
| Shortstop: | Jeter, D., NYY | Renteria, E., ATL |
| Catcher: | Varitek, J., BOS | Lo Duca, P., NYM |
| Outfielder: | Abreu, B., NYY | Beltran, C., NYM |
| Outfielder: | Damon, J., NYY | Bonds, B., SF |
| Outfielder: | Drew, J., BOS | Soriano, A., CHC |
p.s. Just realised I’ve left out Pujols: Given his poor showing for my team so far, it bloody serves him right.
Despite an awful week from Pujols, the Yankees’ OF pairing of Damon and Matsui letting me down with poor showings and injuries, and the Red Sox’s wayward pitching, I won my first game and top my league’s Central division. This was largely thanks to a storming week from Lo Duca at catcher, which I thought would be my weakest position.
Now I’m merely plagued by fears of doom having followed my head after rafting Pujols rather than my heart and getting Big Pappy.
This week: OUT Matsui (injury), Dye (hello?); IN Granderson (can he continue?); Swisher (despite saying on Five’s baseball show that he wouldn’t draft himself).
