Who manages the AL team in the All-Star game...in Los Angeles? I'm sure the Astro representatives will have a lovely time in Chavez Ravine. _______ When someone says, in essence, I don't think our cheating influenced the game, they have no remorse. (It is NOW, by the way.) _______ The Astros’...

I'm not a fan of the huge contracts which it seems now always have to be bigger than the year before. Are Padres fans happy they got Machado last year? Are Phillies fans happy with Harper? Are all of you happy with higher ticket and concession and parking prices? ($25 to park? You could get...
