There was every intention to watch the All Star Game. But then Mike called and wanted to
play nine holes of twilight golf and it was so nice out that the offer had to be accepted. So,
after a quick nine that included four pars, the first inning was missed, and that was just as
well because it looked to have been an ugly one. The television was turned on just in time to
see Derek Jeter's hit. But then the daughter called. She is visiting her cousins in New
Hampshire for a month. She talked an hour and Mike Trout's hit was missed and Chipper
Jones'. Apparently Jones and Jeter, the two old men of the game, did not hit the ball very
hard for their hits, but hits they were and that was perfect. All in all, it was a showcase for the
National League and for the San Francisco Giants as Matt Cain, Buster Posey and Melky
Cabrera were right in the thick of things. It was a total zonk for the American League which
has now lost three of these things in a row. That does not bode well for the World Series
again. And it also meant the sole pick for yesterday was again incorrect. Ah well. That's the
way it goes.
There are no picks today, just the results from yesterday. There will be no game picks post
tomorrow as there are no games scheduled. So let this old picker take this opportunity to
again thank those of you who visit this feature every day. See you again on Friday.

Week: 9-8
Month: 65-53
