haha yeah it is the Major League Baseball all star game. The National League beat the American league 8 to 0, which is quite a big win in baseball.

freak yea, Nats got home field for the World Series now

haha don't know if they will make it that far this year but they have a solid base. They definitely lucked out with their last two #1 draft picks. My mariners could have had strasburgh but went out and won their last like 7 out of 10 smh :(. They lose when they should win and win when they should lose haha.

Chipper is and always has been my baseball hero. The reception and respect he got tonight almost brought a tear to my eye. Not to mention the reception he has been getting all year long at away games where opposing teams play a tribute to him before every game on his last visit. Baseball won't be the same next year without that classy first ballot HOFer. One of the best third basemen and switch hitters of all time

@ mrford yeah Chipper is one of the class acts of all time. Hard to believe he was selected to so few All-Star games, I think in his like 20 year career he was only selected like 8 times.

@Boltar yeah he did, I think he might have gotten a hit. Harper played too, youngest player ever in the all-star game.

They put some stat up saying this was like the most rookies ever in the all-star game. There are a lot of exciting young players in both leagues.

Maybe one of the reasons is that they faced 6 of the best pitchers in all of baseball in Cain, Strasburgh, fluffey, Kershaw, Kimbrel and Chapman.

probably because he's so damn injury prone, at least later in his career.
