The Final Votes for the 2013 MLB All-Star game for the National League Pitchers and Relievers are in. Its looks like the Hometown Nets and Amazins' Nation will get their wish with Mets Rookie Star RHP Matt Harvey getting the nod to maybe start in his 1st ever All-Star Appearance. The Pittsburgh Pirates Closer Jason Grilli has been lights out and the man behind the Buccos off the charts 1st half. The Nats Zimmermann and the Redbirds Wainright are leading the NL in W's for Starters with twelve and eleven respectively. Wainright's Teammate Lance Lynn has 11 wins but did not make the cut as he was a notable snub.

Bumgarner is leading a talented but struggling Gigantes Starting Staff as he is 9-5 with a huge win over the Dodgers Saturday...

Cuban and Reds Closer Aroldis Chapman has been inconsistent but still gets the nod as he is menacing being that tall and consistently hitting the Radar Gun with Triple Digits...Yeah!

Corbin is the Rock of that D-Backs Staff and finally gets his 10th Win after sitting on #9 for Six straight starts...

Fernandez is 5-5 but has an ERA of 2.83 and what other Marlins Pitcher are you going to roll with?

The Pirates Closer Grilli leads the Senior Circuit with 28 saves and Locke is 8-1 with a sparkling 2.12 ERA in 17 starts on the Hill...hence the Buccos are tied for an MLB Best record at 53-34 with the Redbirds.

Mets Harvey is in...enough said and Citi Field Nation Stand Up!

"Boys in Blue" Kershaw has found his stride (1.93 ERA leads the NL Starters) and the Dodgers are riding not a wave but a Tsunami in the NL West and might get to that #1 slot before the Break.

Closer Kimbrel is the lone Rep from the Braves and is 23 of 26 Saves...

Phightin' Phils Lee has been money and is carrying that entire Phils Staff with 2.73 ERA and a 10-2 W-L Record

Wainright has 11 Wins and he is the Ace of arguably the best staff in the NL....and is the owner of a 2.36 ERA...

Cubbies Wood is 5-6 but his 2.69 ERA is the best amongst Cubs Starters...

Zimmermann has picked up all the slack left by the "Potomac 2-Pack" S2 and G2...Strasburg and Gonzalez with his NL Leading 12 wins and solid 2.57 ERA
