This Red Sox offense is terrifying. Relentless.

The Red Sox bullpen is terrifying. They can't miss a bat to save their lives.
Fix the bullpen and this team is unreal.

Minus Papelbon, of course, who is in fact the pitching incarnation of Zeus.

NL was so difficult because there are so many good players. First Base was especially hard.
AL was difficult for a different reason, so many crappy players that it's hard to pick who's really an all start this year.

Ooh, all-star balloting! I filled in 3 of these at the new National's park a week ago, but I was drunk and don't remember who I voted for. As a matter of fact, all I really remember is that I didn't like the park that much except for the concessions and my memorial plastic cup. Also, the game was literally won on the first pitch homerun. The Nats suck.
Anyway, my picks (based on last year as well as this year to smooth out sample size issues):
AL
1st - Youklis
2nd - Brian Roberts
3rd - ARod
SS - Jeter
C - Posada, but Victor Martinez if Posada can't play
OF - Granderson
OF - Manny
OF - Magglio Ordonez
DH - Ortiz
NL
1st - Berkman (because he's a monster this year)
2nd - Utley
3rd - Wright or Chipper, they're both awesome
SS - Hanley Ramirez
C - McCann
OF - Holliday
OF - Beltran
OF - Barry Bonds (because he should still be playing)

Haha, the camera just went to Willie. He had this incredible "Dude, I am soooooo getting fired" look on his face. Thanks for showing up, New York!
They called in a looguy to get the last out in the 9th. Can't blame Bobby for not having faith in Acosta, but damn, our bullpen churning is ridiculous.
