Who is a worse defensive centerfielder, burnitz or everett. Ouch

Some guy had a huge net in right field and "caught" one...did they allow that guy to bring a net in there or did he somehow sneak it in? That thing was pretty big and allowed him to get the ball while the ball was still above anybody's outreached hands.

Score said it was one of KW's kids....?

Bud Selig is an idiot....zito has to find out in a press conference and be suprised? What a classless move

ya, everyone is gonna travel to san francisco to watch him...this hr derby is the biggest showcase for the fans that there is, more people care about this than the all star game, it's his duty to baseball and the fans to be there. period.

He's had a long time this year to turn things around. He wa spretty solid towards the end of last year. It's the all star break. It's more than halway done in the season. .225......225. that's awful, plain awful. rookie or not, that's not satisfactory enough and i'm not gonna write it off as "he's a rookie" anymore, i'm done with that. start producing or sit, we can't afford that anymore. there's just no reason for it because he hit last year.

No, this is about giving back to the fans, it has nothing to do with representing the Giants. The fans deserve to watch one of the best hitters participate in the home run derby. Hell, they voted him into the damn all star game to begin with!

I still think Giambi will do well because he has experience...he knows not too burn himself out in the first round (2 years ago at safeco) and pace himself (last year at miller)

Some of his recent comments suggest otherwise. If it's because of his father, understood. If it's because he "doesn't want to", then what the hell is that? If he is on the field watching tonight that's just wrong

Then how is he playing in the all star game? Maybe you should review his comments, he didn't talk about his father...it was more of a "i'm not participating and you can stick it up your ass" type deal. Barry bonds is a punk.

I think it was the Sox' official site where I read that Magglio has not been asked to do it. That's a shame, really. Well, since it's 4 al and 4 nl, maggs couldn't get an invite

Indeed http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb Any predictions?

yes, it's the "mystery player" i guess the decision could come anytime now and it could actually be made minutes before the derby...like if bonds finally stops being a big tool about it and just participates.

Hawks jersey while buyin a car, gotta love it You gettin out to any games soon?

Maybe not being able to watch the game is a blessing in disguise the way this team is playing right now

How about you do some of the following: 1) Actually work 2) Shut the hell up 3) Look at the link before you click it. It clearly says pornolize.com Wow, you are cool cerbaho I just didn't see the point in it, i think it's similar to people lying in game threads and stuff just for the hell of it.

Is it the best starting 5 ever assembled? Honest question, NBA is the sport i follow the least

Jesse Rodgers actually posted there a few times, his first being a long post defending himself. He always gets ripped on the message boards for being so positive after the Hawks suck it up. Some guy made a post of like "Hey this is Jesse the Tool after hawks 100-1 loss to the Thrashers, but hey let's look at the positives because they didn't play all that bad" So he came to his own defense, it was kind of funny To jesse's defense, if he started ripping the team all the time Wirtz would probly have him off the airwaves anyway. He has to promote the circus on ice no matter what.

I see what you are thinking with your "they suprise when you are down em on theory" But the fact of the matter is, the Tribe is playing good baseball. Didn't they just take 2 of 3 from the Yanks? Hit the ball well and threw it well (traber was amazing). That is enough right there for me to say there's no way we sweep the tribe. Really, i'm hoping we just split going into the all star break. It's such a shame too, because KC and the Twins have been gettin beat up all week long. Every time i see em lose on BBTN, i just think damn it, that's another game we could have picked up.

Oh, definitely a possibility, definitely Hawks beat writers often frequent blackhawkzone.com for hot stories and analysis

That article just freaked me out....what in the hell...

It's just stupid

Someone isn't watching what i type every second of the day, i can type whatever i want. What the hell is your point? Are you defending this tool? Get a clue I'm saying lighten up. It's just for a laugh. You are only uptight about it because you're at work. You obviously have no problem slinging off obscence words, and aren't offended by them. There's a difference between saying a swear on a message board and getting fired for stuff like what he posted, ask YASNAY if you don't believe me. You are defending the guy. Anyone else think it was funny? It's pure stupidity and a waste of time on the board. This guy can leave along with the guy who was saying we were hitting home runs on the game thread yesterday afternoon. It's pointless buddy, pointless.

So did I when i read the title, and i was really confused

Who in the hell is Gary Glover?
