Pissing Off The Padres-Part 1
Andre Ethier made the NL All-Star team. Over Andrew McCutchen. 2.3 WAR for Dre. 4.9 for McCutchen. This is honestly a travesty. Andre belongs nowhere near the All-Star team.

Color me surprised by this little nugget: Clayton Kershaw became the first Dodger starting pitcher to strike out the side in the ninth inning since a man by the name of Sandy Koufax accomplished that feat way, way back on September 9th, 1965. Koufax threw a Perfect Game that day.
