Bryce Harper...

[Topper]

Oh, I agree with you...but I do know some people he rubs the wrong way...but I call them communists.

People who dislike Bryce dislike talent, heart, apple pie and the American way, to name a few things.

Bryce Harper does not rub anybody the wrong way. Bryce Harper is everything that is good about baseball and America.

I should add...Harper was playing with a heavy heart. He had befriended a 13 year old boy with cancer who, through make a wish (I think) wanted to meet Bryce. He came out the ball park for a game and Bryce skipped all the pre-game routines to just hang out with the kid. His was the name that was on Bryce's sign for the MLB stand up to Cancer thing during the all star break. In any event, he passed away on Tuesday after his battle with cancer.

Bryce is a lot of things...and I know he rubs some non-lds or non-nat fans the wrong way...but he's an absolute stud because of things like this.

Finally got to see Harper play in the flesh. 1-4 night with a leadoff triple to start the game. Strasburg started and wasn't very good.

That trip to Detroit was brutal...this team is done for 2013.

Now start hitting, kid!

When they did the stand up for cancer thing, Harper's name was Gavin Rupp, the kid he visited with a few weeks ago who has a brain tumor. Myboynoah posted the story above.

I think his dad performed admirably, but wasn't on the level of Mike Gallego throwing to Cespedes. Not that it matters at all, as the HR Derby is mostly a joke, but it may have cost him a chance to win it.

Cespedes won with 5 outs to spare. It was his night.

He was having a tough time finding the plate with those cut fastballs. I wish Harper would've charged the mound when he plunked him, that would've been great.

I know if it was me, I'd rather lose with my dad pitching to me than win with anyone else pitching to me.

I can't imagine a greater all star experience than Bryce Harper had last night.
