2007 Home Run Derby Thread (7pm ESPN)

[Balsa]

Matt Holliday will be the 8th participant.

 

Old news.

 

And for some reason I completely didn't see the post that said that. My bad.

 

Wake up.

 

Don't get your panties in a knot. He missed a post. Chill.

lol dusty baker is there lol

[Balsa]

I thought someone promised that ESPN wouldn't be there on the field.

 

Man, what a terrible panel. Joe Morgan, Dusty Baker, and maybe the most obnoxious of the three, Chris Berman.

This is disgusting.

 

If they don't just let Kenny Mayne call the whole thing from the kayak, I think I'm gonna have to go to hospital for jackass poisoning.

Joe Morgan commenting on the HR derby...."Its not a homerun type of day"

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Morneau couldn't get into a rhythm. None of them were cheapies though.

[J.R.]

The hats are awful.

[Balsa]

Too bad, Holliday had a great start there.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Almost hit the coke bottle on one... damn

[Balsa]

Good lord who cares, get Bonds off the screen.

[Iceblink]

Since we're hearing Gammons and Bonds instead of Magglio's play-by-play, it's safe to say that Ordonez is clearly not Now.

 

Lucky him. That whole exercise in self-congratulation is one of the dumbest things ESPN has done, and that's saying something.

[Balsa]

Oh good, we get to hear another story about how Dusty on was deck when Aaron hit his homerun.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

The ubiquitous "Dusty on deck" comment.

[Soul]

Pujols starting to look thinner, and his skin is clearing up....

 

 

Just sayin'.

[Chocolate Milk]

Boring.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

someone give these guys some roids.

[Balsa]

Boring.

Yeah it kinda is.

 

They should have a rule where it can only be held at hitters ballparks.

 

Like PNC and Great American.

[Iceblink]

I hope Prince wins, then gets a nasty rash from the chafing of so many swings and has to miss three months.

 

And renames himself to the slugger formerly known as Prince Fielder.

[Balsa]

Fielder only hit 3, but WOW were they monsters.

 

Also, here's a HR Derby Drinking game..... :lol:

Prince fell flat on his face

[Chocolate Milk]

These clowns announcing couldn't be any worse.

Berman and Morgan and Dusty.

 

It's the Perfect Storm.

[Iceblink]

I think we should get the Bad News Bears Astrodome kiddie fences out for the next round.

[Balsa]

Vlad is just awesome. I love that guy.

[UMFan83]

How come I haven't seen Lee or Soriano there yet?
