Are you jacked up about the MLB All Star Game?
3 weeks away! Anyone going?? Are you excited about it?
KC's first All Star Game in nearly 40 years! |

I'm guessing no Royals will start?

Butler could start at DH but we'll see.
I'm looking forward to it but I wouldn't say "jacked up" and no I'm not going.

I am excited and looking forward to it but I am definitely not "jacked up." It will be cool because it's in KC but beyond that it's just the another all-star game which isn't always the best game to watch.

The MLB is the ONLY all-star game worth watching. I love the fact that the out come has an impact on the playoffs.

This is true but they still basically have to make sure everyone gets a chance to play instead of sticking with whoever is hot and/or dominating. Personally I think the impact it has on the World Series is stupid. If I am a contending NL team or fan I really do not want to see someone from the Cubs, Astros, or Padres deciding whether my team gets home field advantage

How about the team with the best record who's in the WS gets homefield advantage? Teams are tied?... go to tie breakers. It's just to logical to work I guess.

Heck yeah, I'm excited! I'll be even more pumped up if:
1. Either Moose or Butler participates in the Home Run Derby 2. The Royals are less than 5 games out of first and playing well leading into the game. |

3 weeks out and I'm not hearing much buzz around the city about it. Outside of fan fest, I haven't heard much of anything that's going on during that weekend.

If any of you get a chance to go to the Home Run Derby - do it. It is wildly entertaining in person. While it was nice to be able to go to the game, it just seemed like another game to me.
HRD is a blast, no pun intended. Go if you can. |
