Running Home Run Derby Thread

The one camera shot I would have liked to see is the ball Papi hit that drilled the ESPN tent ... you'd think the cameras would be on and a shot of Morgan pissing himself would be readily available.

 

Can Gatorade pimp itself out any more?

 

I'm waiting for some kayak fights.

 

haha same here. I've noticed them cut away fairly quickly a couple times. I bet there's some pushign and shoving and drowning going on.

Line of the night from Berman: "Those balls are like Gaylord Perry liked 'em...nice and wet."

 

Hopefully, you wrote a column ripping the right fielder.

 

The Astros were the only ones televising that day, and they missed it going in.

 

Mark, I understand the greed deal (and I'm usually one of the suckers who buys in - literally - to that sort of BS.) But why not have the uniforms be, y'know, uniform, for the game?

And Overrated, I'm betting those kids are given a strict "no robbing or you're outta here" talk before they go out there.

 

Well, you know, I thought about it until someone said it was the police chief's son.

 

Team jersey, of course. Fuckabuncha MLB All-Star greed.

 

I am glad we've hit a little plateau with the wackiness of the all-star jerseys. I mean, I loved when the game came to boston, but those vests were horrrrrrendous.

 

I'm sure you're right Tex. But I wish those kids knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime deal. I'd be Torii Huntering cats all night...at least 'til they escorted me off.

 

Yup.
