My friend and I were talking about how this was probably the first time the celebrity softball sold out, and then boom Bill Simmons and John Anderson start talking about it.

I don't know if the sell out is adorable or sad. Stonestreet and Jon Hamm were adorable as always. Seff looked like he was trying to get a feel of Chrissy Teigan, that's Townsends job.

Anyone who is upset about booing Cano is flat out wrong. He deserved what he got. I feel bad for his dad, who was probably really proud of his son for winning last year and excited to go out there and watch his son perform again. His dad probably felt like the booing was unwarranted. Cano, on the other hand, knew damn well why he was being booed. He lied, and KC didn't let him off the hook. We got in his head.

It stinks because on national television the announcers didn't help us out at all. They made it seem like he got booed because he was a Yankee. Without context, KC fans booing look like a bunch of jerks being mean to a guy doing charity on TV. ESPN should have told the real story, they didn't even acknowledge that the crowd was chanting "Billy Butler" during Cano's turn. ESPN made us out to be jerks, we did the right thing.

Cano will get booed again tonight, and Jeter and the other Yanks won't. Maybe then people will understand. Get it right ESPN. Go cats.

Just want to thank Cano, ESPN and the MLB for manufacturing the most drama and excitement the Royals organization and its fans have had in 2.5 decades.

Another big shout out to Nomar for saying that the K was so nice with the Fountains, and the fans so friendly, yearning for a nice competitive game . . . that he felt like taking a nap in the outfield when he was playing.

Its like in the days before Snyder when K-State would kick that 57 yard field goal to only be down 31-3 at half, it felt good.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #1758 on:** July 10, 2012, 10:16:27 AM »

Also, i'm all for giving Cano a standing O tonight.

I hope they boo the crap out of every player on the field except for Billy Butler.

What is funny is that it is very likely that the highlight of the All Star stuff being in KC will the fans booing some guy and Bill Self in the softball game.

LOL at baseball.

Yeah, and if nothing else... he will be super confused. Someone call Kietz's radio show and spread the word. While you're at it, call him a poopy liar face.

Yeah, he took it like a man, except for the part where he went 0'fer like a bitch.

I really don't understood why people think booing a 30 year old man who makes 14 mil a year is classless. Is it classless when Yankee's fans boo any Red Sox player anytime anywhere? There's a reason it's know as a "Bronx cheer" so shut the eff up about it Yankee fans. Obviously Cano never really had any plans of picking a Royal for the HR derby so he probably should have just kept his mouth shut. If Escobar had been the Royals rep he could have got away with it, but when the teams leading homerun hitter is the pick and you don't use him it just goes to show he never was going to do it anyway.

I also love how people are using, well Fielder, Bautista, and Trumbo hit the most HR's of anyone in the competition so he made the right choice, as a talking point. How do we know if he'd have picked Butler he wouldn't have won the whole damn thing?

Anyone else catch George Brett's mention of shitting himself?? He said something along the lines of "having poopies in your pants" or something like that.

Yes. "Can you say that on the air?" I didn't think this was MSNBC." (or something like that)

Please do not compare Yankees - Red Sox booing to the Cano booing. Mizzou fans booing Bill Self? That's more similar to NY-Boston booing. That's rivalry booing.
Royals fans booing Cano is misplaced butt hurt booing. Which is the lamest booing.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #1768 on:** July 10, 2012, 11:12:52 AM »

There is no such thing as lame booing.

Bout to head to LC's, then fanfest, then the K. 3 days in a row is doing some serious damage to me.

kitten_mittons · « **Reply #1773 on:** July 10, 2012, 12:03:31 PM »

The only way the booing could have been better is if there were more of it. It was not lame. It was fantastic.

Yep Dax. the bitter/loser mentality of royals fans is rearing its ugly head in this thread. maybe if royals fans focused some of their negative energy on management instead of robi cano they wouldnt be stuck with the worst franchise in baseball. Sad really.
