The Brooklyn Cylcones lead the National League with six All-Stars. First baseman Sam Honeck, outfielder Luis Rivera, and catcher Dock Doyle will join pitchers Michael Powers, James Fuller and Mark Cohoon in representing the Mets’ affiliate on the NL All-Star squad. Cyclones manager Pedro Lopez and his coaching staff will also be at the helm of the National League in the All-Star Game.

That gets both a LOL and a LMAO.
You will be really upset to find that I failed to link to Wes Wrenn’s most recent diary entry. Allow me to do so here as a token of my gratitude.

I’ll forgive you this time. Best line:
When we finally arrived at our immaculate Days Inn hotel we were all relieved to get off the bus (even with the distinct aroma of fresh cow manure in the air…you don’t get that smell very often in Brooklyn!).
