    Didn't know if we were gonna comment on the game as it goes or at least on the Astros. If not feel free to close this or if we have another one open somewhere.

    Let's go AL, and more importantly lets go Altuve, Correa, Springer, McCullers, Devo, and Keuchel

    Innocent question: Why are they only honoring Latin American players here? Is it that 'month' of the year or something? OR a Miami thing?

    Why doesn't the star in centerfield have a giant "H" on it? I don't get it.

    Why does MLB have this steroid using ego maniac interviewing these young guys? MLB better be ready to test them after they receive the wrong tips from that guy.

    I remember the times we were disappointed when Hakeem Olajuwon always used to have very average All-Star game performances.

    Or not.

    so far all hits have been from non-astros... they are selfish, saving all their hits for astros games

    I thought it was super cool hearing Buck talk to Springer.

    It would be interesting to talk to Springer at the plate live and the pitcher live while in an at bat. what's going on in their mind before each pitch.

    Would be funny if Buck tipped pitches next AB to Springer while watching the catcher.

    Seems like the wrong venue to highlight their local demographics.
