    Nice get for the Illini http://www.thechampaignroom.com/2016/7/11/12033616/jeremiah-tilmon-commitment-illinois-fighting-illini-basketball-recruiting-north-carolina-kansas Illini now have the #2 class in the country. Look out!

    How many times has a player that didn't make the ASG participated in the derby? I know Choi did it the year they had that format where a each player represented a country but I can't remember it happening since then. Cespedes, right? good call, and he won it too

    Buster Posey is the best hitter in the NL?

    Using this as a pre-ASG thread too. Looks like Cueto was named NL Starter

    I still think Soler turns out really good, but I think he should be a clear target to trade assuming he still has good value. I think there has been enough upside shown to get a team to bite as a key piece in a deal. But given the talent coming up, the iffy regular season so far, Schwarber returning next year, and most importantly the annual leg injuries that take a long time to heal, he seems like an obvious piece to go.

    Draymond Green arrested for assault. This will only make the Warriors even more hated. http://deadspin.com/report-draymond-green-arrested-for-assault-1783449756

    A lot of those bar bathrooms don't even have doors on the stalls. Either they were torn off by drunken idiots or they do that to prevent people from having sex/doing drugs in them.

    Primadonna. He's the highest paid player in the league, the least he can do is show up for the fan convention #hottake #pleasedonttakemeseriously

    that was gonna be my guess too im guessing the reason you can't ... guess it is because he plays too late in the night for most people to even know hes good Plus even among west coast teams, no one cares about Arizona. Lamb was a mediocre player his first 2 years and was never a top 50 prospect so it takes awhile to notice him. Heck even in a big market, Jake Arrieta had a 2.59 ERA between the start of 2014 and the ASB in 2015 over 280 innings and didn't make the team last year.

    Definitely have no issues using them nor am I grossed out by them in any way. My body just gets all jacked up when I'm out of town and I'm basically constipated for 24-48 hrs. Not a conscious decision in any way. From what I understand, this happens to lots of people. I wonder if it's some sort of animal/territory instinct related thing This is only quasi-related but I read recently that when you sleep in a new place for the first time, your the left side of your brain remains partially alert to remain guarded. That's why a lot of people don't get quality sleep in a hotel, or at least the first night.

    You guys are weird about public toilets. Or maybe I'm just used to having no choice as I have a sensitive stomach and find myself in dire need of a bathroom more often than most.

    Based on the fact that this guy live in Arkansas, I'm guessing he's a Cardinals fan discussing why Yadi should be on the AS team [tweet]https://twitter.com/PhilRyanLaRue/status/750483812010692609[/tweet]

    Duncan was drafted after the lockout, Jordan never was a Bull against him. He played in 97-98, Jordan's last year as a Bull
  16. UMFan83
    I only know because I read it somewhere yesterday when googling whether this person made the ASG (he didn't)
  17. UMFan83
    Duncan officially retired today. Dammit, no Kobe or Duncan in the NBA anymore? I believe that makes Kevin Garnett the last active NBA player to play the Jordan/dynasty Bulls.

    IIRC, it is often given to the the top prospect that has a good game instead of the guy with the best game. I was reading on twitter that Eloy didn't win it because they wanted to avoid giving the award to a Cubs prospect in consecutive years (Schwarbs won it last year). Not sure if that is fact or random twitter speculation

    So the Marlins All-Stars are taking a bus from Miami? Hope they make it to SD on time.
  20. UMFan83
    We traded for Brian Roberts. This dude?
  21. UMFan83
    I guess he was worth a half a win yesterday. On the topic of WAR, why does Rizzo always grade out so poorly at 1B? He seems like a pretty competent defender overall. Also thought he was a decent baserunner and he has negative marks there too.
  22. UMFan83
    Whose WAR are you using? Edit: I guess it's conceivable Crawford jumped the other 2 yesterday
  23. UMFan83
    And I believe he is considerably ahead of Seager for 1st in NL

    He's gotta be the MVP of this game
