RIP.

I'll tell you one fuckin' thing—I hope we get fuckin' hotter than crap just to stuff it up them three thousand fuckin' people that show up every fuckin' day. Because if they're the real Chicago fuckin' fans, they can kiss my fuckin' ass, right Downtown, and print it! They're really, really behind you around here. My fuckin' ass! What ... what the fook am I supposed to do? Go out there and let my fuckin' players get destroyed every day, and be quiet about it? For the fuckin' nickel/dime people that show up? The motherfuckers don't even work! That's why they're out at the fuckin' game! They ought to get a fuckin' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fuckin' living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen come out here. A fuckin' playground for the cocksuckers. Rip them motherfuckers! Rip those country cocksuckers, like the fuckin' players! We've got guys bustin' their fuckin' asses and those fuckin' people boo ... and that's the Cubs? My fuckin' ass! They talk about the great fuckin' support that the players get around here, I haven't seen it this fuckin' year!

Sorry, Lee Elia is not on my radar. Was not.

Just good to know you haven't forgotten about me.  You can be my official monitor.

Still zero no hitters on July 11. Not counting Covid, this is the longest wait since 2006. By this point in the spider-tacky 2021 season, there were already seven no-no's.

Boston got hot (currently hold a WC slot) without Bregman and he is set to return today.  Teams seeking a right handed power hitting third baseman may need to look elsewhere.

I don't think anyone was going to realistically pursue Bregman with those player options basically resulting in a no-trade clause.

As much as I enjoy the expanded playoffs, they have effectively killed the trade deadline

A case can be made that there are others who have done more to earn it.  The powers that be chose to make a splash.  Meh.  It is an exhibition.  Think of it as a sponsor's exemption in a golf tournament.  A couple of years ago, they carved out an extra roster spot just so that Cabrera could play.

Warren Spahn would have turned down an All Star invite before throwing a complete game.

Pete Rose is willing to bet whether Mis gets in the game.   While managing.


Ortiz is willing to bet whether his first pitch will be a strike.

I'm fine with it, and will watch and enjoy every inning of the All-Star game like I do every year.

There are ABSOLUTELY more deserving players, but I get the impression you guys aren't going to watch Ranger Suarez. I can't constantly get mad at MLB for not trying to promote my favorite sport and also get mad when they choose the Rookie of the Month as an injury replacement for the ASG. It's the entertainment business.

Jacob Misiorowski has the fewest starts of any National League All-Star ever; the same could be said about Paul Skenes last year, (and he started). All of this is preferable to watching a Verlander tribute inning or some crap like that.

I mean, as people said, its an exhibition game that has been losing luster for awhile, so NBD.

But honestly, the Skenes comparisons make it look even worse.  Skenes had twice as many starts, was undefeated, had a ERA almost a full point lower, and had a higher K/IP ratio despite a much larger sample size when he got selected.

Its no disrespect to Misiorowski, he's been fantastic, it just makes it look all the more silly.  I honestly feel a bit bad for the guy cause its a aspirational career highlight that is gonna be overshadowed with noise and criticism.

And another MLB record - fewest games played prior to becoming an All-Star.  The Miz keeps setting new records.

It's all stupid but the ASG doesn't matter anymore. It's better for everyone if MLB learns to actually market its stars.
