[MrDingleDangle]

def. the NL

[mwtgg]

Yes, and someone from the NL.

 

[Led Zeppelin]

Yes, and David Ortiz.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

i think thome actually, although i hate the phils so i dont want to see him win it

 

[memo]

I'm thinkin either Sosa or Thome

 

[GagHalfrunt]

No, the "Watching Paint Dry" channel has a much more compelling lineup tonight:

8:00-9:00 - Dark blue enamel
9:00-10:00 - Eggshell semi-gloss
10:00-11:00 - Flat white ceiling paint.

heh...not terribly funny, but very creative. I give :thumbsup:

 

[FrogDog]

I will, yes. I'm not excited for it though, now that Griffey is out. A tear for Griffey.

 

[pyonir]

a right handed hitter will win.

 

[mpitts]

I will..

I am hoping Bonds wins, but I think Sosa or Thome will.

I watched too many home run derbys already this year, otherwise known as Nomo's starts.

It might look that way, but I sure didn't think Garret Anderson would win it. I think it just depends on who gets in a groove at the right times; all these guys can hit tons of BP HRs.

 

[TheBDB]

Keep in mind this is the ballpark where there was a broken bat homerun a couple years ago.

 

[Kalvin00]

I sure am.

LOL:beer:

 

[TheBDB]

So nice to see the hometown guy doing good.

Go Lance!

tejada takes the single round hr derby record, 15 bombs in the 2nd round.

 

[TheBDB]

Yeah well Berkman's were longer and he is a switch hitter who normally bats left.

 

[anxi80]

welp, tejada won 5-4, and not to pick a fight, but berkman's farthest was 493, while tejada's was 497. but yes, he usually bats from the left-side of the plate, and batting from the right tonight was all stragety. for a late fill-in, i think he did a great job. good hr derby.

 

[TheBDB]

In the 2nd round Berkman had a bunch go out of the park and Tejada only had 1 or 2. Tejada did a great job in the final, he was more relaxed.

 

[waggy]

I was until sosa was out. then meh..
