2011 Home Run Derby
Am I wrong or were they really booing Prince Fielder? 
Matt Holliday appeared to get a mixed reception.

He got booed because he didn't pick one of the Diamondbacks to participate in the derby.

Not a very classy reaction.

Phoenicians are the worst fans in the country, Web. Their knowledge of sports is inversely proportional to their indignation.

Re: 2011 Home Run Derby
I am taping this thing. I always sucks. I will need to be able to watch it in 15 minutes in order not to committ harm to myself. Is Chris Berman still doing that thing he does. Yes or no will be fine. We all know what it is.

Re: 2011 Home Run Derby
I watched it at x300 normal speed and was reminded how right I was. It sucks. I watched Holliday fuck up his second half so I have that going for me.

What you worry about is the physical toll on a guy who takes 60 or 70 swings trying to hit the ball out of the park. BP is probably 20-25 swings, and you're not trying to put the ball over the fence. It's not a 14-hour shift in a coal mine, but if you come up with a sore back or sore legs, it might take you a few days to recover, then you put up a couple of oh-fers, and then the mental part starts to take over.

No idea, but it's so obvious. Even Berkman looks a lot better swinging from the left side than he does from the right.

Because they've already been punished enough simply by being left-handed. (grin) (grin) (grin)

Your pathetic taunts are wasted in this instance, as I bat right-handed, which kind of makes me the Rickey Henderson of the Marblehead Co-Ed Adult Softball League.
And I've already trademarked the phrase "Artie Being Artie," so don't bother.

You guys are sort of entertaining this morning. Too bad last night's HR Derby was not as entertaining! I turned it off before I saw who won.

Did anyone see this clip last night? This guy is my new hero--makes the catch, lands in a pool full of women and saves his beer. This has to end up on a commericial, doesn't it?

You have to over-emphasize when talking to the lefties, otherwise they don't understand.
