Troy Tulowitzki just hopes no one will hold any grudges when he picks the National League participants for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game.
Kareem
Hunt Youth Jersey . The Colorado Rockies shortstop will serve as captain
of the NL side and select the four other members for the derby. Jose Bautista of
the Toronto Blue Jays is in charge of the American League. "To be the captain, I
dont know if thats something Im looking forward to because of how tough the
decisions are going to be," Tulowitzki said Monday before the Rockies played the
St. Louis Cardinals. "You cant put everybody that wants to participate on your
team. So with that, you open yourself up. "But, at the same time, Im honoured to
be the National League captain." The event will be held July 14 at Target Field,
the night before the showcase game in Minneapolis. Bautista is a two-time major
league home run champion. Tulowitzki has hit at least 25 homers in three of the
past four seasons. Although the honour was just recently bestowed on Tulowitzki,
hes already mulling over his options. Giancarlo Stanton of Miami is high on his
list, especially since he leads the league in homers with 20. Yasiel Puig of the
Los Angeles Dodgers is also a consideration. Tulowitzki may even select teammate
Justin Morneau, especially since the first baseman came up in the Twins
organization and it would be a homecoming. "That would be neat for him," said
Tulowitzki, who has 18 homers this season. "Obviously, hes a guy I have a
relationship with." Given Tulowitzkis relationship with St. Louis outfielder
Matt Holliday, he could be a pick, too. Tulowitzki spent some time catching up
with his former teammate before Mondays game. Did Holliday lobby to be included?
"I dont think so," Tulowitzki said, smiling. "Holliday is just a good friend of
mine, someone that I have a great deal of respect for. "If he wanted to
participate, hed definitely be someone on the list, but he wasnt (lobbying)."
Tulowitzki is hoping players around the NL reach out to him. Rockies pitcher
Brett Anderson, whos currently on the disabled list, wrote on his Twitter
account: "Fingers crossed Tulo picks me for the home run derby!" Hes listening
-- and doesnt want to hear excuses about how the derby may mess up a batters
stroke. "You take a look during (batting practice), sometimes Ill go out there
and try to hit a home run on every single pitch," Tulowitzki explained. "Its no
different from being in the Home Run Derby. "Those are my thoughts. I dont
really want to entertain that thought, either. You get back on track. And if
youre not doing good, you put some (work in the cage). Its not because of a Home
Run Derby."

(SportsNetwork.com) - David Perron posted two goals and an assist as the
Pittsburgh Penguins powered past the slumping Minnesota Wild 7-2 on Tuesday.
Paul Martin, Chris Kunitz and Kris Letang each finished with a goal and an
assist, Marcel Goc and Brandon Sutter also lit the lamp and Sidney Crosby
tallied three assists for the Penguins, who improved to 8-2 this season against
Western Conference opponents. I thought we got better as the game went along,
Penguins head coach Mike Johnston said. (Perron) has a quick release shot and is
dangerous around the net. Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves in the win. Jonas
Brodin and Justin Fontaine each scored for the Wild, who dropped their sixth
straight game. For whatever reason, we just fall apart, Wild head coach Mike Yeo
said. The things just compound quickly. Niklas Backstrom allowed six goals on 35
shots and John Curry gave up a goal on two shots in relief. The Penguins started
the scoring 6:16 into the game. Craig Adams fired a shot from the point which
Backstrom stopped, along with Zach Sills rebound attempt, but Goc was there to
whack the puck into the net. Perron increased Pittsburghs lead to 2-0 with 7:56
remaining in the first period after he gathered a loose puck at the top of the
crease and backhanded it past Backstrom. Minnesota pulled within one as Brodin
moved in from the point, took a cross- ice pass from Nate Prosser and wristed a
shot into the top left corner of the net at 5:12 of the second.

just five seconds into a power play. Backstrom got just enough of Evgeni Malkins
redirection of Letangs point blast, but Kunitz was there to deposit the rebound
for a 3-1 lead. Sutter outraced defenseman Ryan Suter to a loose puck and
wristed a shot over the blocker of Backstrom, making it a 4-1 game 5:03 into the
final stanza. Martins backhander in tight deflected off Prossers skate and into
the net at 9:08 of the third and Letang slid a backhander past Backstrom off a
breakaway less than two minutes later for a 6-1 lead. Fontaine sent a quick
wrister past the glove of Fleury with 6:03 to play, but Perron beat Curry with a
quick snap shot less than three minutes later to account for the final score.
Game Notes Fleury has now recorded at least one win against every team other
than the Penguins in his career ... The Wild have not scored a power-play goal
against the Penguins since Dec. 8, 2005 ... Pittsburgh has won four of its last
five games against Minnesota ... The Penguins improved to 20-4-5 when scoring
first this season ... Pittsburgh announced that defenseman Olli Maatta will
undergo shoulder surgery on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season ...
