2007 Home Run Derby Thread (7pm ESPN)

These clowns announcing couldn't be any worse.

 

Steve Stone could be there with them, talking about how the pitcher should throw a slider low and away.

 

(Note: I like Stoney... but that's all he friggin talks about.)

Rios is the surprise of the evening.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Hail Wilken

[Balsa]

WOW.

 

Rios and Holliday just killing the ball.

 

I kept thinking that Rios would not get those balls out because his swing was so easy, but they kept flying out on a line.

 

This is much better.

[98navigator]

Oh God, Dusty giving the Biggie Smalls reference...

[98navigator]

OMG, did that thing hit the glove? 503ft :shock:

[A New Era]

Just came in to say. .

 

BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK. .

MLB needs to control field access. That guy from Vlad's entourage in the goofy shirt is getting way too much face time.

I was wondering who the hell that guy was, and why he kept appearing on my TV.

[Omar]

Congrats Vlad (AKA: Andre Dawson Jr.)

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Yeah, who the hell was that guy in the weird white shirt?

 

Congrats to Vlad

[Rob]

I got sick and tired of listening to this thing. How many did Vlad hit in the final round?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Rios went first and only hit 2, so Vlad won with 3

[Rob]

Sweet.

 

Since Vlad (and Pujols) are on my fantasy team, I think I should get credit for all their dingers tonight in the league. I'd feel pretty confident about my chances.

[Guest]

Can Vlad's HR derby win somehow count for my fantasy team?

Can Vlad's HR derby win somehow count for my fantasy team?

 

I wish.

 

I'd have a 30 HR lead over my opponent thanks to Vlad and Pujols.

During the derby, they kept showing Barry Bonds talking to A-Rod in a suit. I just froze. Just think of the caption possibilities.

Interesting that neither Bonds nor A-Rod had to wear the ridiculous All-Star "uniforms."
