The Home Run Derby

I wonder if anyone here would be intrigued by a pitchers home run derby. Take any pitcher who hit a home run
last year and this year and they are automatically in the derby. I think it would be cool.
Also, what's up with AROD not doing the HR derby in front of his own fans ? Is this just another sign of his lack of
confidence when it matters the most ? I know he's already known as Mr. Choketober, but he's too afraid to lose in the
HR Derby ? Give me a break. Is this guy for real ? Just go out there and take a few swings for the hometown fans.

Berk can swing, dang. Also impressed with Braun who I have never seen play.
Arod didn't want to go Abreu and never hit HR's again...even though I think Abreu just had to give up drugs and that is why he sucks now.

Who else thinks they use "Hot" baseballs for this??

BTW Arod had plans at Madonna's place tonight so he couldn't make it. Anyway he couldn't handle the pressure of the Home Run Derby - He would be "like a virgin batting for the very first time"

I'd rather drive a screwdriver into my ears than listen to Joe Morgan
Joe does need to go

<< <i>Are you kiddin' me?!?!? Josh Hamilton is amazing, I've never seen anything like that. Wow. About half way through I was just like...I don't know, I can't even say. How unreal. This guy is the real deal, no hype. >>
Really??? That's all it takes is hammering some 71 year old's batting practice balls out? Good for him getting his life back on track and starting out the season on fire, but I think the hype is getting overboard.

That's the way I felt too until last night: hype. I thought the "human" aspect of his story was perhaps clouding sportswriters minds when they wrote about this guy. But now I see. He smashed some of the longest HRs I've ever seen hit at The Stadium. Granted, it was BP w/ a 71 pitcher but still...anyone can see this guy is the real deal.
Hamilton is a great player no doubt, but this HR hitting contest has really got to go. I think I fell asleep twice during.
