Congratulations to Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez on being selected to their first All-Star team! It will be nice to see some Cubbies in the infield again (how about a shout out to future Hall of Fame Cub, Ryno). Hopefully the National League will get out of their funk and finally win the All-Star Game again because as you know "this time it counts!" Home field advantage is crucial during the World Series (although it's beginning to look like the Cubs will be watching the playoffs on TV).
Speaking of the Cubs, they are in another tailspin. They have yet to earn a W in July and have lost 5 in a row. The Astros and Brewers are closing in and the Cardinals are so far ahead that it's not even funny. Sure, it's possible for the Cubbies to go on a big winning streak and get back in the Wild Card race, but they better quit lollygagging...
