2016 All-Star Game Thread

Only one that has tested hot two or three times. Yeah. And Cruz used. Probably as an Oriole too.

Not for PEDs, though, right?

This was one of the worst all-star games because the entire telecast was spent honoring a PED user. Why does fat papi get a pass from the media?

Because the only way a rival player could have a great season is throu

gh PED?

So, a player that has tested positive before, all of a sudden puts up what is so far a career year, doesn't need them at 40? I'd say that's pretty suspect. If you don't then whatever.

Yes. For PEDs.

That was a Jose Fernandez batting-practice fastball. Based on what we can see, Fernandez gripped the ball like a heater, and he threw the ball like a heater. He just threw it as if he were warming up, instead of working in a game situation.

One of the worst fastballs David Ortiz has seen in decades threw him for a loop, such that he didn?t pull the trigger.

They went on and on and on and on about Ortiz. I got so sick of it. Even when there was action on the field, TV watchers still had to witness the worship of Ortiz.
