    At this point with all of the Astros pulling out of the all star game it really doesn't seem like a coincidence.
    I love it

    What's this about a Brantley injury?

    It's one thing to not participate. It's another to not even show up. Players are chunking the deuce for real. Altuve said his leg is injured but when asked which leg, he reacted like he wasn't sure.

    A brief respite in a six month grind or 3 days getting grilled about cheating.

    Hard choice

    His third leg is tired from bending the league over backwards.

    Will either Brantley’s injury or Pressly’s paternity affect the next two NYY games? If not, then as awesome - **** the MLB. I hope they pick Yuli and Yordan as replacements and both bow out also.

    De Grom is out also. Oops, jumped the gun a bit eh? All those media idiots talking trash about the Astros disrespecting the event for dropping out should have a lot to say about all the others dropping out also right?

    Why would they? The other guys aren't Astros.

    And Betts out, too, citing injury. Oh wait, forgot he played for the Dodgers. Nothing to see here... o_O

    Correa's currently on the IL; Altuve doesn't want to deal with the dipsh!t media for 3 days and needs the rest anyway; Brantley's been banged up for a week+; Pressly's taking paternity leave.

    All are giving MLB the finger as well.
