You got Winny and Nightman here with ya. I think a couple others.

I adore Aaron Judge. Thome-reincarnate. I've felt this way since last season. I am so happy he didn't regress. He is so great for the game.

You're having a fun season, meanwhile Angels' fans are on suicide watch :(

Just got back from a 3 day ban(shortened to 1 day on appeal) so I missed the HR Derby

Wasn't the same without Judge and Stanton but it was great to see Harper reppin DC

This is DC's year(except for the Skins- they still suck)

I don't really get into the AS game much, mostly background noise. I like the derby more.

I loathe Bryce, but I have come to at least tolerate him. New-found respect for him going out last night and putting on a show, even if it is fluff, as his career has been thus far.

Looking forward to Mike winning his third All Star MVP tonight. Further fluff and all. And let's be real, he is gonna RAKE all the legacy awards. He is the one that changed the narrative that you have to be on a playoff team to win MVP, regular season.

Dang dude, as a recipient of a couple two week bans and everything in between, they suck, Night.

You follow them somewhat, being out there in Balt, B?

My "local" TV teams are BAL, WAS and PHI where I am in OCean City, MD

But the Yankees are my true love....grew up in DC without the Senators way before the Nats so I went with Reggie and Graig Nettles and Chris Chambliss and Willie Randolph and Thurman Munson and Ron Guidry

So what's your opinion on the plan for Mike Trout? Keep building around him or trade him for a kings randsom? The Albert Pujols contract has the Angels' hands somewhat tied as to how they can build around him.

Would you rather keep Trout or re-load from what you guys could get for him?

Keep him, eat Albert's contract, hell make him a player-manager if it placates him (rumor is Yadier Molina is considering this, and my Angels board has already discussed this prior to the Molina news).

No team could offer up enough for Trout. I've posted about this in the past Vegas, but it would take two/three YOUNG elite REGULARS at non-CF/3B/SS positions, and probably your top 5 prospects. No team does that. It would kill the team trying to trade for him. Thus, trade talks are off the table.

We must keep him, eat Albert's contract, and continue on as if he (AP) isn't here after this season ends. If we don't, we lose my idol. And i will blame Arte and Albert for it till the day I die.

I actually had this written in my post but erased it before I sent it. And I wouldn't blame you for blaming them until the day you die. That's how I feel about Romo.

Oh man, I adored Romo and will not forgive JJ for ruining his legacy. Total Romo fanboy here, and never, ever ashamed to admit it, Vegas.

Same here, Trouty. Even Troy Aikman once said that if Romo was the QB of those 90's teams, The team would've had 5 Super Bowl wins instead of his 3. Ughh.

The NY Times is suggesting the Yankees trade Aaron Judge to teh Mets for Both Degrom and Thor. Uh, No. Mets dont need another homerun hitter who will get hurt playing the outfield at Citifield. They need about six athletic players who can play defense and get a basehit in a crucial situation or even drop down a bunt every now and then. If they want to include Torres with Judge and about three other minor leaguers then you will have our attention. Other than that, not a chance.

Wish I could get back into the MLB.
Sadly, the Marlins have ruined it for me. Hopefully, the next owner(s) are legit.
