Bryce Harper: All Star

I know I'm not breaking any news here, but Bryce Harper is going to be at the All Star game as an injury replacement for Giancarlo Stanton.  DC fans are loving the announcement, coming shortly on the heals that Ian Desmond would not be going to the game because of a strained oblique.  National media has been less kind, with many claiming Harper does not deserve to go to Kansas City.

Well, lets take a look at the young Mr. Harper.

• .282, 43 R, 8 HR, 25 RBI, 10 SB, 27 BB.

Keeping in mind these numbers were put up during 63 games they are pretty respectable, especially when you consider they are coming from a 19 year old kid.

Mike Trout, age 20, is the main counter point people like to use when pointing to a deserving young All Star:

• .341, 57 R, 12 HR, 40 RBI, 26 SB, 25 BB. (Trout has played 64 games this season)

There is no arguing that Trout's numbers are better.  You'd be crazy to try and argue otherwise.  So now I'm going to tell you why Bryce Harper deserves to be in Kansas City...

This Was A Merrymaker Query, Sis!

Yahoo Sports has checked into the United States Patent & Trademark Office and found out that Bryce Harper has trademarked the phrase "That's A Clown Question Bro".  So stop buying all those bootleg shirts out of poorer people's trunks and start giving the money to where it belongs!  A millionaire and his multi-million dollar corporation (Under Armour)!
