Before I begin, lets get a few things straight. I know that when any team losses a game, the manager is always going to take some of the heat, if not all even if not warrented as in this case. Secondly, note that I may be just a little bias due to being an astros fan, now with that out of the way, lets get started

I've seen alot of blame already being put on phil garner for the N.L loss at the all star game, frankly, I think thats a load of ####. I mean did phil garner throw that pitch that micheal young hit? NO. Did phil garner get tagged out at home? No. I could go on, but I won't. The majority of the blame should go to hoffman, he's the one that was pitching, he even admitted he missed with the fastball young hit, some have said that Rolen should have been playing in the 9th and not cabrera(sorry if thats mispelled) but maybe the cardinals asked garner not to play rolen, so garner may have had no choice, same goes for nomar, jones and dan uggla, so that can't be blamed on garner either, so basically, the blame goes to hoffman, or could it be that micheal young might actually be a pretty good player, that he might be clutch, and lets not forget one very important detail, ITS THE ALL STAR GAME, who really cares, sure there's the home field advantage thing, but other then that, its no big deal.

Now on a side note, the astros just traded 2  minor league players for aubrey huff, this will either be a very good move, or a really bad move, but since huff is a second half player, he'll really help the astros out in the middle of the line-up, and the D-rays get a good shortstop prospect who the local radio shows here were hoping would be called up to the majors, so its not like you guys got nothing, anyways disagree with me, feel free to leave a comment.
