Swept. By the Cubs. At home.

Is John Farrell going to be the first All Star Game manager to go to the game by himself? I know I couldn't cast a vote for a single guy on the roster right now. That ball girl looked pretty good the other night. Maybe, her...

No, I didn't vote either...none of them deserve it...Farrell will choose one of the picthers, though, so he won't go alone.
