Bringing home the bacon, kind of
Joe Crede received a
warm showing of
support from the Tribune...
...and popped out to second in his only at-bat in the All-Star Game.
Carlos Quentin got
an unusually kind piece from Chris De Luca (with the requisite shot at Orlando Cabrera)...
...and went 0-for-4, striking out on a hanger from Carlos Marmol and unleashing a mighty F-bomb.
But hey, their team will still get home field advantage if they get that far.
