Pic of the Week

Carlos Gomez. Just because.

I was happy this week to see Go-Go in line for a starting berth for the All-Star game in the most recent balloting for the National League. He may not win a lineup place — the third spot is close between him and Andrew McCutcheon, and Cutch is only the defending NL MVP — but he wouldn't be an embarrassment if he does win.

And an All-Star lineup with both Gomez and Yasiel Puig might drive the self-anointed Guardians of the Unwritten Rules right up the wall.
