I tried to pick him up after his first game. I was too slow.

Now is the time to trade him!! He's getting worse. Average below ..275 the past couple weeks and his swing and miss rate went from about 20% to a little over 40%!!

I don't want to berate Puig for not talking to Gonzo. The D-backs tried to take his head off not to long ago.

Bollocks.

I think I'm a sucker - I love the frigging All Star game.

I enjoy the All Star Game. I do find the Homerun Derby rather boring though.

I don't remember the last time I saw and All-Star game. It feels as if nobody (of the players) cared. So I don't care either.

Honestly, I'm watching because I'm stuck in Cleveland in a glorified hotel room with nothing better to do.

Well, that and watching videos of The Lonely Island songs on youtube.

Bollocks.

I only watched for Mo.

All Star game was another yawner... a 3 hit shutout
and the AL finally gets home field for the Series.

I liked the tribute to Rivera in his final All Star appearance,
but a three and out 8th is hardly an MVP performance.
Suppose that's just what a sleeper this game was.

Hey, Whoa, what's going on here???

Y'all talkin' about baseball? What's that?

Wow! Great! I'm outta here!

Sandman.

It was a boring game. I honestly like the interviews and back stories. I pretty much only watch Phillies baseball during the season and tangentially pay attention to the rest of the league for fantasy baseball purposes only. So, again, I'm a sucker.

Despise the home run derby.

The Derby is way too long. I was excited to see Prince bat, and thankfully he went first, then laid an egg. I knew he didn't have a chance when Cuddyer beat him. And I was tired of watching before the first round was over. They need to find a way to revamp it so it moves faster.

And so Chris Berman isn't a part of it.

I started watching at a bar. I was bitching up a storm about having to listen to that jackass. When I went back to my place to watch the 2nd and final rounds, I kept the sound down so it was almost inaudible. I don't know why ESPN props that guy up. He's awful.

Bollocks.

Also, did anyone hear (whichever announcer it was) reciting a few lines from Enter Sandman while Rivera was pitching, trying to use the song to describe the man? That was awkward, and made me angry. Lots of things make me angry in sports, like the yankees. And sports. Then again, getting angry makes me happy, so it usually works out.

Spoken like a true Philadelphia/Detroit/Cleveland fan.

That was Joe Buck on FOX... no Berman there.

I knew it wasn't Berman. In fact, I thought it was Buck, but wasn't certain.

Yeah, we were talking about the Home Run Derby with Berman.

Not Joe Buck... the other guy who should be retired (the ex-player... his name escapes me).

His name is Tim McCarver and he's great!!

Ryan Braun just got suspended for the rest of the season for violating MLB's drug policy. Whoa.

Bollocks.

Considering the Brewers are horrible and Braun already has a contract for next year, him and the team don't lose much with this ban, which is a shame. Bans should actually hurt.

He's been suspended without pay; it'll cost him $3.85 million in salary. Of course, he's under contract through 2020 after signing a 5 year extension worth $105 million in 2011.
