Fuck the Royals and their fans. Maybe Cano knows that the three other guys are better than some stiff that plays for a AA team. Fuck those assholes.

He'd have been better off picking Steve Balboni. Cano won it last year when once again there were no Royals. If not for the every team has to be represented rule do you really thing anyone from KC would even come close to making an all star team? Well maybe a single A game.

All-Star Break Monday: Easily the worst sporting day of the year, other than NBA Christmas Day when the 25th doesn't fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

told the wifey before it started I thought Fielder would win. That was an impressive show. Racks to Bautista for a game effort, you could tell he wanted to win, badly, but Prince was just too much. I always thought he was a fat little fuck, but he's one strong ass fat fuck. Fucker damn near comes out of his shoes swinging that bat.

He's been a pleasant surprise on the base paths. He's a better all-around athlete than one would think just looking at him. Dude could probably play some nose tackle.

Wags, in the wake of that wonderful Sanchez/Cabrera trade don't you think the Royals ought to double down by swapping Butler for Tim Lincecum?
I really think they should. :twisted:

I've been quite pleased with him so far...he's probably got the best swing for a home run derby.
