Dodgers closer Broxton to miss All-Star Game
It has been announced that Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton will miss this year's All Star Game with an injured big toe on his right foot.

I don't believe Manuel has named a replacement yet..but it should be either Pablo or, if he wants another closer, the Giants Brian Wilson.

1. It was Trevor Hoffman
Damn Wisconsin bias!

4. This is anti Giants bias
Manuel displays it more and more as each day goes by...next he'll name someone other than Lincecum as the starter.

2. Brian Wilson is tied with Heath Bell with 23 saves for the most in
the National League.

It would only be fair to replace his teammate.




Here's Manuel's choice:

3. Manuel could have added Jeremy Affeldt too
he's got a better ERA than Hoffman. It's now clear, Manuel is purposely disrespecting the Giants and their first half achievements.

5. What a disgrace. You think the Giants will be wanting to kick Philly's ass
when they come to San Francisco at the end of the month.

All of the snubbing articles have to be up in the clubhouse.
