Never heard a crowd cheer so loudly against a batter. That was awesome. It's still the Yanks.

I really think the crowd got to him. I've never heard it that loud against someone.
I'm sure it pressured him.

Thought the same.

Cano played in last night's endless Sunday Night game.....arrived in KC at 5 AM....3 hours sleep

He's won 1 more than most.

How classy would it have been if after about 5 outs Billy Butler go out and ask the crowd to support Cano?

Ah, why not? Might as well make sure the inferior teams in the division are more represented in all aspects of the all-star break.

been forever since I had seen a game at Kaufman. That whole CF thing looks like it could be distracting!

I was at Kaufman last year and it looks better on tv then it does in person. The fountains are off during the ga e to not be distracting

This is the only all star game I actually like to watch...I love the "winner gets home field in the WS" addition to the MLB all star game. I know a lot of people hate it though..
