Colon's got better numbers than any of our starters, that's for sure.

Go A.L.!

Cubs have been playing below .500 ball their last fifty games.

kris bryant with a first inning homer.

i like the all star hats this year. not sure i want to spend almost forty bucks on one, but they look nicer than the last couple of efforts.

AL is the home team this year even though they're playing in an NL park. apparently someone forgot to alternate between leagues each year, and this is the second year in a row for an NL park. they're also playing at an NL park next year, so they decided to make the AL the home team for this year. in case anyone cares.

Trout lead off single!

[John Stellman]

Bartoto Colon should be followed by Satchel Paige.

[nando714]

Bartolo rules!

Salvador Perez 2 run bomb ..: we got stuck with the wrong Perez at catcher.

[ScottT]

Hosmer is so likable.

You mean the Salt Lake Bees did.

Agreed. 

[Kenny]

How much you wanna bet that Yost takes trout out to give his guys a better chance at MVP.

[disarcina]

right now It looks like Hosmer gets the MVP -- only the fourth inning.

Trout needs a dinger here.

[disarcina]

right now I'd give it to Hosmer and Salvadore Perez -- co-MVPs from KC.

Salvadore's shot was a two run dinger that gave the AL the lead........

Trout may be out of the game after that last AB -- 1 for 3, base hit, strike out, fielder's choice.

[disarcina]

Hosmer staying in game longer than any other starter.........think Yost wants his guy to be MVP ??

it's OK.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Weiters looks like he's ready for the joust

[Troll Daddy]

Trumbo a free agent for 2017 ... so is Weiters. 

[Troll Daddy]

Ian Desmond best signing of the off season. Should be a free agent for 2017.

[Lou]

I flipped over to the game twice. First time there was some skank at home plate singing some awful song ( no, not the national anthem, you commies)

Second time it was God Bless America time. Nothing like forced faux patriotism injected into a game. 

Didn't see one pitch 

[AngelsLakersFan]

She was singing her Fight Song Lou...

[disarcina]

Desmond is going to want a bundle.......signed late for $8 million one year deal -- great signing -- sometimes you wait and it works out -- it did for Texas.

but as the ASG announcers pointed out a few minutes ago --- Desmond turned down a multi-year deal worth something like $60 million (to stay with the Nats) but TURNED it down -- so he does a one year deal and waits........the F/A market not that strong (especially for pitching) this off-season -- so it works well for him -- pitching is where teams tend to spend a bundle and over-spend.......without top pitchers on the market -- clubs will pay a bundle for a middle-infielder who can also play some CF.

[Troll Daddy]

Bases juiced ... Cuban rookie at the plate.

oh the drama
