I'm at lunch so i only have an hour.
HR derby. Was soooo boring. I am glad Vlad won thought. He was the only one i watched who seemed to put everything into each swing. (Fielder was pathetic for a big man.) The suprise was Rois and Holliday. Really wanted to see Matt win though but pretty sure he toasted himself in the 2nd round. Can you immagine the ribbing he would give the league until next year? He was picked at 8am that morning ,had his brother pitch to him on national t.v., and hit like 8 streight in the 2nd round. If i had done that i would have walked out of the batting area holding my crotch yelling "Hey Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder! I got your home run freindly park right here !!!!". (Matt is listed at 6ft 3" 220lb / Fielder 6ft 0 and 295, Howard 6ft 4" 271). The worst part was having to listen to Joe Morgan and Dusty Baker call the derby. Here how the dialog went for those of you who mossed it. (jm = Joe Morgan. db = Dusty Baker)
Pick any of the players who were in the home run derby and you can fill in there name. I'm using Alex Rios' name because it's short and i hate long names.
jm - Alex has a sweet swing.
db - Sure does. You did too Joe.
jm - Thanks Dusty. I liked yours too.
db - Just wish mine was as big as yours.
jm - I think your was bigger in your hay day.
db - Alex needs one more home run to get to the next level of the compitition.
jm - You know baseball players thrive on compitition.
db - Compitition is was make them get out of bed in the morning and play agent the other team.
Chris Berman Chimes in "THAT'S BACK, BACK, BACK, WAY BACK!!!!
What a crock of shit. I left the TV on and turned down the sound. The should get someone like Dennis Leary and Chris Rock to announce the home run derby. I'd tune in for that.
DL - Here's Howard at the plate trying to hit a homer with his gut. OH - HE GET A HOLD OF THAT ONE! He almost took off a blond chicks bra when that ball scorched by her in the stands.
CR - He knock the shit out of that one like my mama yous to know the shit out of me. The was a back hand to the forehead if i ever seen one. HE KNOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF THAT! KNOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF IT I TELL YA!
Good times would be had by all.
