2008 Home Run Derby - 7:00 PM, ESPN

My nephew and I were at the HR derby in Houston in 2004. It was fun, but we were hoping for a better showing from Sammy.

the HRD was way more exciting when everyone was roiding it up

 

Sosa in Atlanta was the best.

I'm going to pick Utley

 

...but I hope Braun goes to the finals, strains his sholder and misses 15 days, and the Cubs series, on the DL.

Utley + short porch = win.

I think Uggla is made for this type of thing. He has such great raw power. His weakness has been picking up what the pitch is but that no problem here.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I went to the HRD at The Cell when it was there. It was awesome because Pujols didn't win.

Josh Hamilton has picked his old American Legion coach who is 71 years old to pitch to him in the derby. I like this player more every day.

[TysonCBulls423]

Braun's using his agent as his pitcher. What a turd... :lol:

[Balsa]

I think Uggla is made for this type of thing. He has such great raw power. His weakness has been picking up what the pitch is but that no problem here.

My thoughts exactly. He has a natural softball swing.

[chuckywang]

Please, MLB.

 

MAKE.

 

IT.

 

STOP.

I just drew Braun in my HR Derby Pool at work. Hopefully he wins and throws off his swing.

 

exactly what i was going to say

 

god, i can't stand berman. he's the worst sports personality, by far.

[javy knows my name]

Boo? F--- you!

[justin23iu]

Did Chase Utley just say, "Boo? F--- you."?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Is Berkman in this every year?

[CubbieBum]

LOL at Utley. Got booed ESPN was dumb enough to put a camera right in front of him. Clearly heard "Boo? Fu** you."

[VanceJergins]

Haha, Utley has moved up in my mind from neutral to awesome.

[javy knows my name]

Chase Utley is awesome. On a more negative note, has there ever been a worse broadcasting team than the one ESPN is trotting out tonight?

[B]

Utley.

Sweet!!! Kruk, Morgan, and Berman agree with me. :roll:

[javy knows my name]

Utley.

Sweet!!! Kruk, Morgan, and Berman agree with me. :roll:

I picked him too. I feel for you

[Shavo]

Dan. Uggla. \:D/

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I don't think anyone has agreed with my Morneau pick. I thought Jeter might be on board for a moment but, no dice.

[imb]

They should let Len announce this... he wouldn't know what the hell was going on

[Coach C]

God I wanna wear Erin Andrews as a hat.

[Outshined_One]

God I wanna wear Erin Andrews as a hat.

 

I'd prefer to use her as a belt.

[Outshined_One]

"Who needs steroids?"

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
