6:49	[Comment From KyleC] Just out of curiousity how many of you feel that I talk down to by blog audience.

6:51	[Comment From Norman] How long was this delay?

6:51	Unofficial Scorer - 39 minutes.

6:52	[Comment From Norman] Quick question: How are Lee and Pence NOT in the top 15 in the all-star balloting?

6:52	Unofficial Scorer - Houston fans haven't voted enough. This isn't exactly a scientific process.

6:52	[Comment From Will] whats up Norman

6:52	[Comment From Will] cause all star votings a crappy system

6:52	[Comment From KyleC] last place team norman end of the question.

6:52	[Comment From Norman] Hey Will

6:53	[Comment From Norman] At least Wandy's getting in...or at least we HOPE. Did the 1962 Mets have an All-Star?

6:54	Unofficial Scorer - Sorry, as I was trying to say, Owings' strikeout rate is down, his walk rate is up, but he's doing better than he was last year Arizona. He gives up a triple to Berkman, as Bruce has a lot of trouble with it over in right.
