July 10, 200719 yr WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Go my 2nd pick! :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa
July 10, 200719 yr 2nd round was the only one worth watching. Decent Derby. I just don't see how people get into it that much really. To each his own.
July 10, 200719 yr Author 2nd round was great and worth the first and 3rd IMO simply becacuse Vlad, Pujols, and Rios all killed the ball. Plus unlike other competitions the Homerun derby does donations by using the "gold ball" with the 9th out.
July 10, 200719 yr How did Bonds do? Our wait he needed time off, didnt have enough juice left in him to compete.
July 10, 200719 yr The Derby is still fun...the problem is we have guys that are hitting 700+, 600+, 500+ HR's, AND the game's best player maybe ever (A-Rod), not wanting to do it....that makes it loose luster....RIOS? seriously?

July 10, 200719 yr Didn't watch it, just don't care. Not even because some of the other home run hitters that weren't in it. It's almost like the slam dunk competition for me, just very much been there, done that.
July 10, 200719 yr Rios done his part. Sure he did...but it doesn't really add to the lure of this event.
July 10, 200719 yr Sure he did...but it doesn't really add to the lure of this event. AROD is banged up
July 10, 200719 yr Author Sure he did...but it doesn't really add to the lure of this event. But I would rather not have Bonds in it. It's just for marketing to get them in there. Fielder is a great hitter, Pujols best player in the league, Ortiz is always a good homerun hitter, Magglio is a pretty good homerun hitter also, I mean they may not be the most marketable players like Griffey but they do their part and they deserved to be there.
July 10, 200719 yr Guess MLB is going to have to give them an incentive to play like they did with the all star game itself....
