Yes I do, I am aware we suck right now, but the season is not over.

Good luck in the postseason.

You're an Astros fan?

Expect to see a lot of home runs in this derby compared to last year. The left and right field walls are fairly short and it's not that hard to hit them out.

ZOMG, we found out today that Ryan Braun's agent Nez Balelo is going to throw to him in the derby. The TV guys for FSN Wisconsin were actually making a big deal about it. How I loathe them.

No kidding. The Cubs are having a very good year and all, but they have more undeserving all-stars than should be legally acceptable.

Based on first half performance... I think Marmol deserves to be in the ASG... He leads the league in holds w/ 22 and his last few outings have really upped his ERA to over 4, although it was hovering around 2.00 for the majority of the first half... He also is right around the top of the league w/ strikeouts per 9 innings

Hurdle picked Marmol because he had the next highest player vote total. Hopefully he doesn't pitch.

Boo, Lincecum should be starting.

Sorry but he has no business on the team over the 3 guys I named. And I'm sure there is more guys that deserve it over him as well.

He will probably be unavailable since he just pitched 115+ pitches yesterday.

Well he should be named starter anyway. Or at least build a statue for the guy and retire his number in every stadium.

Anyone else catch Chase Utley's response to the few boos he got when introduced tonight?

"Boo?! F_ck you!"

Didn't see or hear that.

Its going to be a fun night hearing the Three Stooges talk all night.

It was immediately after that, like within 1 second. As soon as he said it the camera cut away abruptly.

Bobby Flay can belt um

Why didn't Braun use Derrick Turnbow?

What Josh Hamilton just did was the most amazing display of power I have ever seen. I don't care if he was getting BP pitches, that was AMAZING.

Yeah. Especially watching the rest of these guys struggle to get 6.

Every time Rick Reilly has opened his mouth tonight a a poor attempt at humor has come out. This guy is **** pathetic. It's unbelievable how (Please Use More Appropriate Word) he sounds...
