No idea who is even particpating in the Derby this year, but it’s tonight. Enjoy.
Home Run Derby Thread
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in"

I heard Jose Bautista is involved.

I’d like to see Tony Campana in a home run derby.

He wouldn’t need a weapon or a vest.

Only if the fences are a millimeter high as he can’t seem to get the ball off the ground.
Is ESPN/Berman doing the HR Derby? I’d be much more interested if Berman weren’t involved.

I’m afraid you might be out of luck.
I see 3 Cubs on this team http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/the-2011-all-flub-team/
Berman is announcing, but No-mah is there too!
Adrian Gonzalez is good at hitting baseballs.
Berman is fucking insufferable.
Matt Holliday got censored.
Maybe David Ortiz knew what he was doing when he chose Cano.
Great holiday did so bad
Berman: this one is a skyscraper, but may not have enough.
It was only 75 feet shy of the wall.

How interested would you be if John Grabow were doing all of the pitching and were really trying to retire batters?
It would be funny to see all of the towel waving players and overly dramatic reactions of the entire stadium while Grabow is giving it all he’s got to just keep it in the park.
Weeks proving he doesn’t belong
Red Sox interested in Garza

Jose Bautista didn’t do as well as I thought he would.
I’d love to see Carlos Zambrano in a HR derby.

He’d tear an oblique after hitting 50 and the media would get on him for being stupid.
Next round:
Fielder
Gonzalez
Ortiz
Cano

As long as he saves enough energy to pitch at a softball game and fly o guatemala to adopt a kid. He needs to do those type of things so there’s more ink to spill bitching about him
I hate Chris Berman
Cano > all
Supposedly Brett Jackson and Ryan Flaherty promoted to AAA.
Congrats to them both.
Would being in AAA mean their promotion to the ML club could come sooner than later? Only because it’s faster to Chicago from Iowa unless they are traveling of course…just seems unnecessary considering the talent level of AA.

Seems weird considering BJax is a bit slumpy right now. Flaherty is hitting well though it seems.
If they manage to trade one of their outfielders, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jackson get called up, but that’s a big if.
