2025 MLB All-Star Game predictions, odds: Best bets, picks for AL vs. NL

“Those [bleepin’] fans who come out. They’re supposed to be behind you.

“I’ll tell you, I hope we got [bleepin’] hotter than [bleep], just to stuff it up them 3,000 [bleepin’] fans.

“They can kiss my [bleepin’] ass.

“The mother[bleepers] don’t work. That’s why they’re at the [bleepin’] game.

“They oughta go out and get a [bleepin’] job; find out what it’s like to earn a [bleepin’] living.

“Eighty-five percent of the [bleepin’] world is working. The other 15 percent come out here. We got guys bustin’ it, and they boo. We’re 5-14.

“It’s disheartening. It really is. And we got 143 [bleepin’] games left!”
