The managers for Tuesday's All-Star game certainly won't get many complaints for choosing Phillies ace of aces Roy Halladay and Angels star Jered Weaver to start the midsummer classic.

MLB's national spotlight returned this week to Arizona for the first time since Luis Gonzalez's ninth-inning single off Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, landing the All-Stars — those who didn't drop out — in the hot debate over the law known as SB 1070.
Philadelphia's Roy Halladay will start for the National League in Tuesday night's All-Star game against the Los Angeles Angels' Jered Weaver.
Mets reliever Jason Isringhausen likes playing in New York, there's no doubt about that. Just don't make it sound like he's begging general manager Sandy Alderson to stay.
At 46, Gooden is in the sixth inning of life, far too early for a hurler of his heft to leave the game. I don't know the man, yet I love the man. It's just one of those things.
The Mets started the season 5-13. They've dealt with a slew of injuries, trade speculation and Fred Wilpon's surprising comments on his biggest stars. Despite all that and two straight losses to San Francisco end the first half, the Mets head into the All-Star break with a winning record.
Forty years ago, the All-Star game really was played by stars. Back then, 18 future Hall of Famers took the field at Tiger Stadium. This year, 16 All-Stars -- including Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter -- backed out of Tuesday night's desert showdown.
Jose Reyes was voted the starting shortstop (he's on the DL and won't play) and Carlos Beltran was selected as a reserve for the 2011 All-Star Game. Here are the Mets' top ten most memorable All-Star Game performances.
Matt Cain pitched six scoreless innings to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday night.
Pablo Sandoval had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 20 games as the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 3-1 Saturday night
Not to say anything, but 105, even though I know that sometimes you feel it is humid, your 105 humid in the desert is very different than 90 in the Northeast and humid.
Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston hit a tiebreaking home run off All-Star Brian Wilson in the ninth inning, leading the Mets past the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Friday night.
Now we know what we had thought all along - that Jose Reyes would he heading to the Disabled List after tweaking his left hamstring against the Yankees back on July 2 at Citi Field.
Jose Reyes may need up to three weeks of rest for his ailing hamstring. In that case, he would return right around the July 31 trading deadline, if not afterward. But for those fans that think Reyes has played his last game in blue and orange, think again.
Mets executives argued Thursday that a lawsuit claiming they should have heeded warning signs of a 25-year fraud carried out by jailed financier Bernie Madoff is "a fiction" and should be thrown out. "There were no warnings," lawyers for Mets ownership said.
