Update: I'll be going on around 2:20 p.m. Just listen for this ....
I'm going to be doing my weekly segment on KJR with Ian Furness sometime after 2 p.m., if you are interested in listening to my stuttering, stammering, blatherings.
Here's the podcast.

Still no laptop as of yet. I'm using one of the copy desk's computers to type this. The laptop situation needs to be rectified soon since I'm flying out tomorrow noon.
I'm hoping to get it by tonight so I can post a couple things.
Obviously the all-star game is the news of the day, and of course I'm disappointed that Felix didn't get the start but Roy Halladay is the only pitcher that I felt would be worthy to start ahead of him. The Ichiro-Tim Lincecum at-bat could be special. But it won't be the first time they've faced each other. I saw it earlier this season.
As I alluded to last night, I was up in Seattle this afternoon at the KJR studios in the ClearChannel Building and appeared on the Ian Furness Show for about an hour. We talked a lot of baseball about the first half and what to expect for the second half. You can listen to that here.
Also I was on Q it Up sports the other night with Aaron Levine. TV is tough. I've done that show three times and I always get nervous. You can watch that video here. No making fun of my double chin.

Wow, what a game yesterday. I will admit, there were times I just wanted it to be over, but in the end, you always feel special being at games like that.
Let's get to some links to get your work week started ...
AUDIO: I forgot to post it this weekend, but I did my usual appearance on the Ian Furness show on Friday, you can listen to that interview here.
From yesterday's thrilling 15-inning marathon ...
Here's my game story and here's the game notebook.
Columnist John McGrath was up at the game and offered his thoughts on the game.
Bob Sherwin was up covering the game for the AP, here's his story.
From other clubhouse ...
Here's Susan Slusser's game story from the SF Chronicle. And here's the gamer from Joe Stiglich of the Bay Area News group.
From Sunday's paper ...
Here's my Sunday baseball column that discusses stealing home. I talked with several players on the Mariners and A's about it.
Also here's TNT contributor and the voice of the Rainiers, Mike Curto's minor league notebook.
* NOTE -- I'm still perusing the my netvibes page and will post some stuff later.
