It'd be great to see Evan win it all

but I’ll be happy if he makes it out of the first round.

Everything they are saying is that this will heavily favor the lefties.

A lot of people are picking Hammy

because he has a 71-year-old as his BP pitcher.

Well that's asinine

But Hammy is talking about hitting the ball out of the park. Not a home run, it’s out of the freakin’ stadium. He’s going to be fun to watch. I’m really, really excited about this, although I’m not excited about listening to Berman. Why can’t Kurkjian and Gammons do it. They are so much better to listen to, and are just as excitable without being annoying.

Per Wiki:
3 Doors Down’s official website reported that Brad was injured on February 3, 2006 in a one car accident (he wasn’t driving) in Mississippi. He suffered severe lacerations and bruises to his face but made a full recovery. 3 Doors Down cancelled two tour dates as a result. It was later revealed Arnold’s injuries as caused by the accident were more severe than initially stated. Arnold needed 40 stitches to his face and his ear had to be reattached. Bassist Todd Harrell said, “If Brad wasn’t wearing his seatbelt, he’d probably be dead now.” Arnold’s wife, who was driving the car when it hydroplaned, was uninjured.

How do you know? Did he just have that rep?

Thomas and Berkman have spoken out loudly over the last decade about the need for more stringent testing standards (Berkman said a couple months ago that players were still using HGH and that MLB needed to start using blood-testing to catch them). So that’s why it’s pretty certain that they’re clean. Either that or they’re the craftiest liars on the planet.

Dukes enters the home run derby

And when he gets to the 9th out, he hits 6 home runs. 80% of the money that was supposed to be donated to the boys and girls club instead goes to his child-support payments.
