Superb-Lee
Terry Francona named Cliff Lee the All-Star Game starting pitcher. Given that Justin Duchscherer pitched yesterday, it was a fairly easy choice.
I didn't buy into starting Mariano Rivera. He should pitch the end of the game, not the beginning. However, if Mussina had been picked for the team, I could see him getting the start in front of the home town fans, and for his career achievements.
Roy Halladay isn't even in the discussion?
He has a 2.71 ERA and more complete games (7) than any other pitching staff in baseball.
Cliff Lee is having a fluke year, Roy Halladay is just doing what he always does. Stuff like this:
