2007 Home Run Derby thread

Yeah the Phillies wanted him for Jon Leiber. Fuckin' Gillick.

 

Is it just me or does it seem awkward watching the guys in Bristol talking during the derby?

 

Vlad is really going to have to get on a run to make it through.

 

I find it amusing to see them in the penalty box like that.

 

I just got a random call from a guy saying it was a disgrace that the players weren't wearing their caps when they were at the plate.

We have some strange readers.

 

I'm sure if they had them on backwards, they'd complain too.

 

That is strange, G-B.

That homer by Vlad right there is why I love watching the HR Derby. 503 feet. Fuck that ball was crushed, absolutely crushed.

Can Pujols make a run in this round or has he sat too long?

 

Think about how they feel. What a waste of a day of work. Way to go, ESPN.

 

Read the MLB to ESPN: Drop dead thread.
It's not their choice.

 

You'd think that Berman would "braack, braaack, braaack," himself out by now. I mean really, you'd think that the little voice in his head would come on and say "okay, that's enough. It's old now, dude." You know, kinda like if George Carlin went on stage and talked solely about the seven dirty words. After a while, he'd think "okay. That's enough. segue to something else." But no, just like the goddam motherfuckin' Energizer buddy, he just keeps going.

 

The nickname thing too. it would be one thing to use each one he thinks of a couple times. but to trot them out on every reference... terrible.

 

I read that. I'm saying it was their fault for releasing the names before TBS did, thus leading up to the aforementioned stint in the penalty box.
