Running Home Run Derby Thread

Hey, to help out Ledbetter AND spice up the HR Derby, have the guys hit off of tees?

 

As an aside ...

Would it be mildly appropriate to say in bed to your significant other, ala Berman, "Back! Back! Back! Back! Back! Back! BBBBBBack!"

???

 

make them hit the opposite of their natural hand. Switch hitters get to throw for the fences from second. I mean, David Wright just hit more than a dozen. This clearly isn't a measure of anything.

 

the people of swickley (sp?) and mckeesport love boomer.

 

you know, the city thing is like the band that inserts the name of the city they're playing into the song. Yeah, it's pandering, and yeah, it shows a lack of conviction or guts or anything, but I don't have too much of a problem with it. It's a chance for Pennsylvanians watching at home to get to hear the name of their town. My problem is that Berman trots them out on EVERY HOME RUN. Wright's last went about three rows into the stands, and Berman pulled out McKeesport. Come on, dude. Tired isn't even the word for him anymore.

 

nice job by bonnie b, though. great uni from the looks of things.

 

She does look very good. Think she got a facial?























Because, you know, she has really clear skin. Very toned.

 

Does Big & Rich have compromising photos of Berman? Why in God's name are they at every ESPN event? I kept hoping they'd light on fire with the pyrotechnics, but no such luck.

 

AJ Pierzynski, in an obvious attempt to prove he's not the asshole everyone thinks he is, pulls a page out of Jason Kidd's book and brings his infant child to an interview...and therey confirms everything you've ever heard about him. Oh well at least his daughter has a smaller head than T.J. Kidd.

David Wright cursed!! Oh no!!! But he's so dreamy and perfect!

Yeah! I always liked it when Huey Lewis put HARTFORD into "The Heart of Rock-n-Roll!"  

 

Also, my favorite Joe Morgan moment thus far: When he says Jose Reyes needed time to adapt to New York.

Yes. He also had to cure whatever ailed his hamstrings before he could hit his stride (so to speak).

Joe, you are a clueless asshole.

 

Is it really a thrill of some kind for people to hear the name of their towns?
