    There calling for some nasty wheather for the Burg tonite. It's getting very dark.

    Hope it holds off

    I think Ortiz is the obvious favorite, but it seems like someone unexpected always wins these lately... I'll go with Glaus.

    Congrats to Ryan Howard, all of us who picked him.

    Also read he hit the 'hit it here' sign, which gave a fan 500 free round trip air fare tickets.

    glaus has warning-track power image

    that was entertaining, but i didn't wright would hit nearly that many.

    congrats to howard and those that picked him. has anyone seen the 1st half vs 2nd half hr stats of derby winners? a drop in numbers makes sense since a hot hitter will get less at-bats due to walks, but some of these drops are huge!
