    berman sucks but cain and hamilton have been great to listen to
  • se-alum
    Onion Sports is live tweeting the Derby. LOL!

    Never heard a crowd cheer so loudly against a batter. That was awesome. It's still the Yanks.
  • wildcats20
    Really? Cano with 0.
  • hoops23
    Cano with a 0 and the HR derby still sucks.

    I really think the crowd got to him. I've never heard it that loud against someone.
    I'm sure it pressured him.
  • Midstate01
    Been a terrible derby..
  • dazedconfused
    not that he wouldn't anyways, but i would bet cano is going to do some serious raking in his next visit to kaufmann to face the royals
  • Midstate01
    And butler did nothing, but he will be booed loudly in ny.

    Stubbs would be in CF....McCutchen in LF

    Thought the same.

    Cano played in last night's endless Sunday Night game.....arrived in KC at 5 AM....3 hours sleep

    He's won 1 more than most.

    How classy would it have been if after about 5 outs Billy Butler go out and ask the crowd to support Cano?

    Yea I was disappointed in butler that he seemed to be enjoying it. I thought for sure hed try to get the crowd to stop.

    Ah, why not? Might as well make sure the inferior teams in the division are more represented in all aspects of the all-star break.

    Hell, he would have been cannonized everywhere, especially New York :cool:

    been forever since I had seen a game at Kaufman. That whole CF thing looks like it could be distracting!
  • sportchampps
    I was at Kaufman last year and it looks better on tv then it does in person. The fountains are off during the ga e to not be distracting
  • Rotinaj
    Way to strike out Joey!!!!!

    Lol did our worst player strike out? I just turned on the TV and saw we had a run, and a man on second.
  • Rotinaj
    Yea Vottos a bum. I'd rather have Stubbs play 1st.
  • SportsAndLady
    This is the only all star game I actually like to watch...I love the "winner gets home field in the WS" addition to the MLB all star game. I know a lot of people hate it though..
  • Midstate01
    That curve to Joey after 2 100mph fb's was nasty!

    Panda almost hit a grand slam
  • dazedconfused
    even though i'm rooting for the al here, its amusing to see verlander get roughed up like this
  • SportsAndLady
    Tigers fucking it up for the AL
  • Rotinaj
    I just like it the most since everyone actually tries.
