clujer420 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 It has meaning anyway... It's never really had MEANING, but it was always fun to watch. I don't want to see Jim Edmonds, Bret Boone, and certainly not Garret Anderson in a homerun hitting contest. These aren't power hitters -- sure, they have a lot of HR's this season, but I'd MUCH rather see guys like Sammy and Bonds in the derby. These are guys that have 500+ career HR, and are among the most elite of all-time. Hell, I'd rather see Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco -- 2 guys that I really dislike -- come out of retirement for 1 night and see them rather than the 3 guys I mentioned. Delgado, Giambi, and Sheffield are the only 3 that are remotely interesting to me, and that's not enough to get me to watch it. Even the HR derby has been reduced to a meaningless exhibition.

Big Irish Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I want to see Delgado. Of anyone he can hit some absolute monster shots. I want to see how far he can really hit one. Over the concouse and on the street? Maybe if he uses one of Sammy's special exibition bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if he's not on the team, at least it would be something worth watching. Garret Anderson, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 They dont know who the 8th competitor is? 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.

Uuum, no! :sosasucks Are you so biased that you won't admit that having Sammy do it would make for a better contest than having Garret Anderson or Bret Boone do it? People outside of Anaheim and Seattle don't care about those 2. At least Sammy has some appeal from Maine to California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious PW Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Sexson will be good. Should be pretty decent with Delgado, Giambi, Sexson, and Sheffield. To be honest, I'm a little tired of seeing Sammy, the media prctically jerks off on TV when he is in it. Secondly I think that Sammy disgraced himself this year and should be nowhere near a field of all-stars right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I agree with Tenacious. Delgado, Edmonds, Pujols, Sexon, Giambi, and Sheffield can murder the ball. I think Edmonds, Sexson, or Delgado win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Irish Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Good point tenacious. Welocome to Sox talk. Good to see new members as I am fairly new myself. Anyways, I just want to see how far Delgafo can hit one. 550, 600? As for Bonds, BACK OFF! He isn't playing because his father is dying and being on the road the whole season he is taking 3 days to see him. I believe you all would do the same. Let the man be.

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.

Well, since it's 4 al and 4 nl, maggs couldn't get an invite Who cares if each league has an equal number of players? What if 8 AL players had 30 HR at this point and the NL leader only had 15? Should we still snub 4 AL and take 4 scrubs from the NL? I think that's ridiculous. It's the HR DERBY -- not the "HR derby with consideration to what league the participants play in". Also, a player shouldn't have to be on the AS team to participate in the derby. If it's a HR derby, that implies that the winner is the best HR hitter in the league. I don't believe that the best HR hitter is always necessarily an all-star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
