I was thinking on Sunday that Marmol has to be the first person ever called into the manager’s office, fearing that he’s being sent to AAA, only to be told he’s going to the All-Star Game.

This is almost as bad as the time Mike Sharperson couldn’t make his second All-Star appearance because he was on the DL due to his own death.

He also didn’t ask him to pull a red-hot curling iron out of an industrial paper shredder, as far as I know.

That was great. Just the reason I love this site. This site even encouraged me to start my own blog.

JayBandit notes the actual reason Marmol was selected. But I hope that with Lou on the bench, he’ll try to keep Marmol from actually pitching in the game… it seems to finally be occurring to him that Marmol simply can’t pitch every day. That Gaudin inclusion is looking better by the second.

I think CheeseCurds should replace Wood.

Piniella didn’t choose to have Marmol sent to the All Star Game. He was next in line in player votes behind Woody.

Nevertheless, this seems like a story not very far from the truth…
