I can definitely see Matt Holliday screwing his swing up.

Just noticed Latos didn't make the NL squad. Rip off.

 

He has had a better half then Carpenter and Lincecum, hasn't he?

I love how ESPN has decided to pretend that Omar Infante is deserving of an All-Star bid rather than the pick being the farce it is.

Boring HR contest thus far.

Is it true that Andrew Larew is pitching in this HR Derby?

Corey Hart putting on an absolute show.

Nick Swisher just missed, LOL

Needs more Quentin and less Swisher.

 

I'm not sure I'd actually want him there, other than to see him go bonkers and still turn in an awkward interview after.

This HR derby is making me ill.

 

Joe Morgan and Crhis Berman? Ugly. Further, its hilarious that these guys are RIVETED to the hitter when its Ortiz or Swisher, and then they bring in celebs and tell stories when anyone else is up.

 

And WTF is up with Andy Petitte doing some feel-good commercial with his kids? Isn't this guy a documented roider? He's the guy you want as your example of some great character?

 

Bobby Valentine has been hilarious....ly bad.

 

Jose Ortiz!

 

He didn't get that one. Than the ball lands 10 rows up in right center.

I sat in left field bleachers during the home run derby in Baltimore. The woman next to my dad and I turned out to be John Rooney's wife. It was an absolute blast - Frank was a beast, hit one into the 3rd deck at Camden Yards!

The homerun derby seriously bores the hell out of me.

I'm rooting for Hart.

 

Edit: Well, never mind.

I still like the derby but it just takes so dang long. Skip the second round. Everyone hits, top 2 advance to finals with a clean slate.

I watched the first part of it cause I'm in a homerun derby pool. Once Cabrera was eliminated, I changed the station. I guess I just can't get into it.

C'mon Hanley. Anyone but a damn Red Sox.

Glad someone mentioned it earlier, and I mentioned it during April...but Bobby Valentine freaking sucks as a baseball analyst.

Has anybody seen a kong ASG jersey for sale anywhere?

I turned it off after the first round, because I was tired of watching the David Ortiz show. That was just an awful display of production of a baseball event. Awful announcers, ridiculous bias, and a focus on Ortiz that turned off everyone other than Red Sox fans. Seriously, when Cabrera and others were hitting, they even had to have an inset of Ortiz grinning while he watched the game.

 

It kind of looked like... if ESPN is a buddy of yours, and he's had this huge crush on this female "friend" (Ortiz) forever, but continues to deny it. He (ESPN) throws a party under the pretenses of just having a party, invites the girl, and just sort of stares at her all night talking about her to anyone that will listen. Everyone there, including her, knows he has a crush - except he thinks its a secret. Kind of creepy and sad.

And what about those shoes?
