My NL All-Star Infield Is in the Cards

Time's almost up for selecting MLB All-Stars.

I know I'll rile Bob Waters and other Cubophiles, but I'm having a hard time picking anyone other than the four infield players from the Saint Louis Cardinals to the National League All-Star team. If you agree — or even if you don't — hie thee off to MLB.com and start punching your electronic chads. According to the site, you may vote a maximum of 25 times. Voting ends today (30 June) at 11:59 PM ET.

How in the world can you prefer even Puljols to Derrek Lee? I agree that Lee is in a slump- he's only hitting .380 at the moment- but he leads Puljols in every category!

Eckstein? I don't know whether I'd vote for Perez, but I sure would before Eckstein. And Grundz over Todd Walker?

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

I'll give you Rolen over Ramierz. Maybe you can make a case for Grundz. But not Eckstein or Puljols- except, i the latter case, as a reserve behind this year's MVP!

Oh, now you've done it, Bob. I'm afraid if we're going to be consistent, the MVP would have to go to Pujols for this half-season. Remember '98? It's all about that division title, right?

Besides, by the end of the year, Pujols will have better numbers, too. ;)

Why the Aardvark?

My Raison d’être

The aardvark is a "down & dirty" critter that spends its life rooting yucky things out of their dark haunts and feasting on their carcasses. Nuff said?
