After the Rising Stars Showcase, none of the Mets farmhands played Saturday and the league was off Sunday, leaving us with a big bat zero in terms of game action from the desert this weekend.

The National Rising Stars beat the American Rising Stars 7-6 by scoring six times in the game’s final two innings.

DH Daniel Murphy: 0-0, BB

C Josh Thole: 1-1, 2B, RBI, BB

RHP Eddie Kunz: BS, 0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

RHP Eddie Kunz, C Josh Thole and 2B/LF Daniel Murphy will be on the American Division Roster for tonight’s AFL All-Star game, known as the Rising Stars Showcase.

You can follow all of the action here.  First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 MST.

Another day, another two hits for Murphy.

So I tried playing around with formatting some charts and that ruined the entire template of this blog for IE users.  I’m sorry.

Once again, the lesson as always is that Microsoft sucks.

I highly recommend Firefox from Mozilla. Thank me after you’ve downloaded it.  It’s faster, more secure and more user friendly than IE.

Go ahead, I dare you: give me one reasone to prefer IE.
