Hahahaha....that's funny.....you are being funny right?


the on air orgy for St. Louis has started and there will be no let up.....and really Chris Berman is the perfect person to dish out the on air BJ's

[nymr83]

I'm a degenerate gambler so I've got money on this with a friend... we agreed that nobody gets Pujols who we saw as the overwhelming favorite.

i let him go first, he took Fielder, i took Howard, he took Pena, i took Gonzalez, he took Mauer, and i took Cruz, Inge was the odd man out.

that was TERRIBLE the way he sucked dick, but i think it was being piped live into the stadium the way the crowd reacted so i guess it was for their benefit

He took Mauer over Cruz and Inge? He's aware that in-the-ballpark home runs don't count, right?

[nymr83]

dont ask me, i was just glad i didnt get stuck with Mauer, this isnt a batting average contest

[metirish]

ESPN stole Fox Sports old Ice Hockey flame tracker that they are trying to tell us is new technology , a yellow streak will go with the flight of the ball and turn green when it's going out......how annoying.

[metirish]

Nelson Cruz's ninth home run was a legit monster bomb......upper tank above the Big Mac area.....

Jee-Sus and they wonder why I don't watch this shit. Well, they probably don't really, but you know what I mean.

[Guest Kong76]

David Cook wasn't listed at baseball-reference dot com.

I had to ask who David Cook was and was reminded he's the guy that my
friend's two teen-age daughters have been gah gah over for like the last
two years and then it clicked. Oh, him.

[nymr83]

Brandon Inge hits ZERO in the first round. I guess he's wishing he'd declined the invitation right about now.

an ESPN.com poll says the nation prefers the Home Run Derby to the Slam Dunk Contest 53-47, with only CA, KY, NC, OR, UT, and WY favoring basketball's show
the international results may have prevented a big blowout, the 4,000 international voters went 57-43 for basketball. idiots.

[nymr83]

its a good thing the all-star game isn't being held at Citi Field, with a mandatory home team player in the homerun derby the Mets would embarass themselves with their 2 best sluggers on the DL and Wright having lost the HR stroke, the Mets would send out steroid-reject Sheffield to represent the team

[nymr83]

what happens if one of those kids in the outfield tries to rob someone of a homerun?

[metirish]

Hilarity ensues witk a visit from home town hero Joe Buck, cue much sucking from Berman as Philips and Morgan hold Buck spread- eagled.

Morgan then asks Buck " hey Joe have you ever heard a home player get booed?", of course he is expecting a big ole golly gosh no, except Buck reminds us all how the best fans in the world booed Izzy. I expected Morgan to make an excuse for them.

Funny shit

These kids in LF look like Muffy

[Guest themetfairy]

The camera angles of this broadcast are horrendous.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Oh man, What a bad night for our cable company to have issues -- and take the net with it!

OK, I've never heard of David Cook, but since learned he's an American Idol guy, and I confessed I've never watched it.

Berman + Joe Morgan + Steve Phillips = Where's the mute button!

[Guest themetfairy]

I only know who David Cook is because I watch VH1 while I run on the treadmill. I'm not into Idol.

Chris Berman makes my ears bleed.

[Guest Edgy DC]

David Cook is the reason David Wright's timing is off.

One of these years, one of those kids is not going to be paying attention and get drilled by a line drive. Which will be sad.

But when this happens, Joe Morgan will respond by saying, "Well, you know, I played the game. And when I played with Pete Rose his son Petey would run around the field. Now, if Derek Jeter had a kid and his kid was out there like that, he'd make those plays because he just brings something special to the game."

And Berman would say, "Back, back, back..Oh! Splat, splat, splat."

And Steve Phillips would say, "We'll when I traded for Mike Piazza..."

[Guest themetfairy]

Nelson Cruz and Prince Fielder in the finals.

Not the darlings of the ESPN script - they wanted Pujols and Howard, big time.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Berman just went nuts on a ball that didn't even clear the fence. Oops.

[Guest themetfairy]

And Fielder wins it.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Well, here's hoping Howard, Puljos, Fielder have a power drought in the second half like Wright in 2006.

When Citi Field gets the ASG, they'll have to have an inside-the-park home run derby.

that would actually be more entertaining

[Guest Triple Dee]

And I actually may bother to watch it.

[MFS62]

I'm a National League purist. I'd rather watch pitchers bunt.
