I find myself caring less and less about the All Star game as I get older.

It's still fun to watch IMO. Like last nite at the derby, most of the players really seem to have some fun and enjoy it. The pomp and circumstance surrounding it all kinda sucks, but I still very much enjoy the first few innings.

I saw 30 seconds of the derby...which was 30 seconds more than I wanted to see.

It was fun, man. Hoskins, Schwarber, Harper, Muncy, and Bregman all were very entertaining. I didn't sit glued to all 3+ hours of it, but when those guys were going off it was fun to watch. At one point, Harper hit 9 pitches in a row out, and Schwarber had a run of probably 6 out of 10 that he hit out.

I know. God, when I was a kid, this was almost like a holiday. I know it's always been an exhibition, but at some point, the teams stopped playing to win. And the league rivalry was real and intense. Shame.

The lineups and starting pitchers seem especially good this year, though.

The derby last night was the best in awhile. I still look forward to the all star game every year. Looks like another win for the AL.

NO! Berman is finally off the derby, which is bigtime addition by subtraction.

The lineups suggest the NL has no shot. I think Scherzer can keep them in check but he probably won't be in that long.

AL wins 6-1.

They were shocked on the radio so few AL players were in the derby.

Julie is probably pissed that there's not one woman Medal of Honor winner in the ceremony.

Another poorly timed flyover.

Why was every kid a black that walked out with the allstars? Can we forget about politics for a day?

Anyways, AL 18 NL 1.

It's fun watching kids be recognized and have fun on a big stage.

Man I was hoping some sucker would try to run on Cone-treras and Baez.

Tad Hot was one of the great '70s porn stars.

That said, I was expecting Sale to hit 103 with a slider.

Joe Buck just compared Trout to Al Roker.

What in the blue hell?

That slider went straight down. Sliders aren’t supposed to do that.

I think I like the “interview a player while he’s playing outfield” gimmick.

I wanted to hear him tell Buck he sucks at his job some more.

That's a bad question....

They should just keep going back to him every inning.

Put a mic on Baez too. I bet he doesn’t even miss a beat while completing a double play.
