All Star break is normally only Monday - Wednesday with games resuming on Thursday. Can't imagine they would be changing that this year, betting that ESPN will have games up over the weekend.

 

[boivingp]

that's what i thought too, but games are posted for the 13th and forward on espn....
interesting... the answer to the trivia question what day is there never a major sporting event occuring in the US... the day after the MLB all star game, although basketball is trying to inch into July...and I suppose NASCAR will start having Wednesday races soon...

 

[anglinomics]

Yahoo Sports and Fantasy Baseball schedules have play resuming on Friday the 13th.

I HATE DUSTY BAKER! Strike 1 as Dusty lied about Votto's availability yesterday. jeas just say that you are going to put him on the DL, not that you may give him a day off later in the week. Red's are officially on my do not play list.

My only strike (so far)...was Votto DNP - I didn't even know he was ailing!!

If I followed correctly, gonavy0806 takes it. I struck out today, Thome had a hit, and I think katester is out of it as well. From one Navy guy to another, congrats!!! Looking forward to August!!!
