Tom and I were lucky enough to score two tickets to the All-Star Game in Minneapolis tomorrow. Hopefully it's a little warmer tomorrow than it is here today. Yikes. Anyway, if anyone else is going to be there tomorrow shoot me an email at gambrosius@stats.com and we'll hook up for a beer. See ya there.

Should be a fun night. Neither one of us have been to Target Field yet, so we're looking forward to that. I'm not a big All-Star Game guy no matter what the sport, but it will be fun to be there to see the game's biggest stars. Heck, there's even a few Brewers in this game!!

Enjoy and with any luck we'll meet some of our NFBC customers.

If you get a chance take the tour of target field.Its Awesome!

We were at the home run derby last night watching Cespy repeat and will be at the game tonight.

Sorry we didn't hook up last night Scott, but it was a fun time. Mother Nature also cooperated with some nice weather just before the start of the game after a nasty early afternoon. Beautiful time at the park and we liked Target Field. However, someone explain to me why they needed to build a 20-foot wall in right field and right center field? Wouldn't that be a better ballpark if the fence line was the same for right field as it is for left field? I think you'd have more offense in that park that way. Trout's first triple should have been a home run and same with Lucroy's double, but both went off that monster of a wall. I'm not a fan of it.

But great time at the All-Star Game and it was great to give Derek Jeter the sendoff he deserved. He was clutch again. He hit a tough pitch off Wainwright down the right field line, made a hell of a play on McCutchen on the first play of the game and added a bloop single. He's now 13-for-27 in All-Star Games. Pretty impressive, Mr. October.

They would rather have Joe Mauer hit doubles than home runs, its the Twins way.
