It would be fun if they used aluminum bats for this.

the HRD effect on the swing
I hope CP spends all Wednesday and Thursday swinging for oppo shots. I’m pretty worried about him staying too pull conscious and continue slumping.
Then again, maybe the ability to consistently drive the ball there will give him some confidence and start a hot streak. Either way, I’m setting the o/u of timeouts at 4 and praying he doesn’t strike out.
by jwgator on Jul 13, 2009 7:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Nevermind about pull conscious. Glad to see he took the oppo approach. Joe Magrane probably is as well.

It's supposed to be Erin Andrew's ass his taking pics of.

loud shitty music
as he loses his voice tomorrow for good
Congrats to Longoria, Bartlett, Zobrist, and Crawford. Vote for Pena!
Berman's intro was exactly why Mauer shouldn't be in this contest
he is a for average hitter, not a power guy.
I'm sure someone that isn't on the all-star team that hits for power would love to do it.
I haven’t looked at the stats but I’m sure there is a better option that would be perfectly willing to do it if it means being apart of the festivities. Kinda like the NBA Dunk contest
he would be a good choice, reward him for his season
I wouldn’t mind seeing Miguel Cabrera or Adam Lind either.
Yeah, but they're from the All-Star team
that’s the only problem
by Transplanted on Jul 13, 2009 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions
rules change all the time for all-star games
why not change it so that you don’t have to be in the all-star game to be in the HR Derby.
Well until they change it, we're stuck with this version
The old school version would be good return

a) Morgan
b) Phillips

One of my favorites was in Pittsburgh...
A ball was hit into the Allegheny river and Reynolds said they should name it the Alligator river…..I don’t even know what that means.
