Hit The Deck: All-Star break edition! Baseball’s tweeps go fishing, eat Cheetos and cry during the Home Run Derby

While there was plenty of coverage around those who made the All-Star team and the game itself, here’s a peek inside how some of our favorite non-All-Star tweeps handled the time off.

A Mid-Summer Vacation:

Ballplayers’ mini-vacations rock! Or do they?

 

TheGarfoose (Dirk Hayhurst) Dirk Hayhurst here, reminding you to party responsibly this all star break. There is no point in being an all-star if you can’t remember it.

 

Peteypipes (Bryan Petersen) I’m like 4 hours into my all star break and bored outta my mind

LoMoMarlins (Logan Morrison) No need to worry. I tan nude RT @aplinckTX LoMo if u want sun, u should come 2 TX. 100 degrees all week…. Just watch out 4 the tan lines

 

TheGarfoose (Dirk Hayhurst) When asked if I would go to the ASG as an alt, I said no; I’d be to busy coating myself in Cheeto dust and fresh bottle caps in my basement

 

JustinDeFratus so hungry. but i have dedicated my first day of the all star break to the couch and i honestly cant see myself moving.

 

MarkLamm44 Mark Lamm Playing “Can Slam” with the boys tonight… All you need is two tall laundry bins, a frisbee, and a good time. #SundayFunday

 

GrillCheese49 (Jason Grilli) Never thought All Star break could feel this great! Already letting my mind and body chill for a few days.

 

dannyvalencia19  Miami….where the wild things are!

 

LoMoMarlins (Logan Morrison) Depends, does ur mom make chocalate chip pancakes? RT @22brob LoMo What r the chances of us having a sleepover during the all star break?

» I’m bout to heat this bi+€h up quicker than a junkies spoon!

 

Brad_Brach It’s way too early to be heading to the airport…brutal! I thought it was supposed to be a good thing to have an all star break!!

 

GrillCheese49 (Jason Grilli) Kicking the afternoon off right. 90 min massage. Treatment for the power of Cheese! 2nd half push!

 

Maholm28 (paul maholm) Off to the course. Only gonna be about 97 today. Hot and humid.

Home Run Derby

If you thought all our tweeps would be into the HRD, think again. @LoMoMarlins gets the edge here over @JGuthrie46 – only because you can feel his pain.

 JGuthrie46 (Jeremy Guthrie) For the record: Me enjoying a #homerunderby is like a person on a diet having fun watching people crush food at Golden Corral.

» I’ll be tweeting live updates during the #bachelorette in case you are watching #homerunderby

» ANOTHER cancelled cocktail party by Ashley, ABC must love her for making this cheapest #bachelorette ever.

 

B__McCarthy (Brandon McCarthy) I wonder what that guy feels worse about- tearing the ball away from that girl, or his big stupid goatee.

» Waitress asked what I do 4 work. Told her I played 4 the Marlins. Now SHE’s sitting at MY table crying & Tweeting. #FAIL

 TheGarfoose (Dirk Hayhurst) http://yfrog.com/khjnjouj our plane is smoking…but we’re still getting on. 

» The fog eminating from the floor of the plane that is obscuring your feet is “completely normal.”

» If this plane explodes, crashes, or a combination thereof; its been fun. I’ll see you in the great Garfoose grove in the sky.

» http://yfrog.com/kkw15nj I’ve seen a lot of ridiculous things in skymall mgazine, but this takes the cake…:)
