Anything more unappealing than this year's HR contest?

Until he somehow whiffs on batting practice pitches.

 

Uggla, Utley and Sizemore all stand a chance of being this year's Bret Boone. The smell of HR Derby Fail is strong with all three.

This could be the most unintentionally hilarious Home Run Derby in All-Star history.

 

Two homers wins it in the finals? That type of hilarious or were you going for something else?

 

What big HR giants?

Utley, Uggla, and Berkman are three of the top four in the league right now. Sizemore leads the AL. Hamilton is tied for second.

Maybe Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire can come back and do a Steroid HR Derby somewhere.

I suppose A-Rod and Pujols would sex it up a bit. Besides them, who would you want?

 

Pete Incaviglia's things to fix the MLB All-Star Game festivities:

1) Outifeld accuracy. Outfielders pick a ball up off the warning track from their respective field and throw to targets which are there to rerpresent the cutoff man. Similar to the NFL QB Challenge.

2) MLB's Fastest Man. Either a) from home to third (remember, triples are the most exciting play in sports, or so they say) or b) first to home. or c) first to second, simulating a stolen base using a BP pitcher. Players can't lead more than X amount of feet and can't leave until the pitchers starts the delivery.

3) The Relay. Teammates (an outfielder, an infielder a catcher). Outfielder picks up ball off warning track, relays to cutoff man, relays to home.

4) Best Double-Play Tandem. Shortstop, second baseman and first bagger from same team turn the 6-4-3 DP as fast as they can. Runner heading to first optional.

 

I always thought they should put outfielders from the opposite league in the OF during the Home Run Derby to try and rob cheap home runs.


EDIT: Oh, and to answer the question at hand: A BYH post.

Suck it Twins fan.

 

No. 4) Just put Fred McGriff out there in his cute, blue hat. He doesn't need to do anything but smile and point.

All-Star Game fixed.

 

The only thing more boring that the HR contest is the NHL's skill contest.

But at least with the NHL you don't have to listen to that idiot Berman.

 

Don't forget Beerman's "Braack, braaack, Braack..." for two fucking hours

 

Untrue. Lots more action in the NHL skills contest.

You want to know what's more boring than the home run contest (any home run contest)? NBA All-Star Saturday Night. :-X

 

Yeah, something like that.

And Pete, they had a relay competition at one time but they stopped it after Barry Larkin got hurt making a throw.

 

Back back back back back! Hello, random city in the state this All-Star Game is being played in!

Everyone loves me! I'm Berman!
