huh?

I just flipped on the TV only to see some cheesy band I’m unfamiliar with playing. C’mon, either hit HRs, or find a better band!

I'm so glad A-Rod isn't there

I don’t have to root against anyone (no, I really don’t hate Utley. I save my hatred for Burrell, Rollins, and Myers).

Reggie in the hall as a Yankee is a disgrace

He played more games with Oakland, he won more rings with Oakland, and he had 3 of his 5 best seasons with Oakland.

So let's just shit all over Grady Sizemore's HR Derby

To let David Ortiz speak.

Sweet.

EAMUS METROPOLI!

Sizemore doesn't play with Boston or the Yankees

So he doesn’t count.

Go Rays.

Shut up about this old dump!

Also, way to spit on Max Schmeling’s grave. He was not “Hitler’s”. Schmeling was an opponent of Nazism.

You know, the crack of the bat and the ooohs and aaahs of the crowd is more than enough of a soundtrack. No need for backbackbackbackback!!!!!!

Jeez

The homerun derby could be wrapped up in a half-hour and ESPN drags it out to what, three hours?

God helped Josh Hamilton make it to the homerun derby? We’re screwed.

but not Ryan Braun

He doesn’t believe in Jeebus.

He'll just be struck by lightening.

And a light will ascend from the heavens and bring Josh Hamilton to the promise land.

......if you believe in that kind of thing.

What if instead of that old guy

Hamilton had Jeezy Creezy pitch to him?

I wish the ticker said:

“FAVRE: Killed himself early today because he realized he wasn’t a little kid like every single person in the media says he is.”

I'm thankful for Favre's actions

He actually managed to out-obnoxious the absurd spectacle that is the all-star game at Yankee Stadium.

Who is this comedian they have talking?

The “He’d look like the number ten” guy?

EAMUS METROPOLI!

by pingel on Jul 14, 2008 9:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah, speaking of landmarks

Times Square and Yankee Stadium have a lot in common: they’re both absurdly overrated, obnoxious and should be burned to the ground.

good GOD. this is on another level from the sosa/mcgwire derbies.

and no steroids

Nope, just cocaine and whiskey.

And now I’m going to hell for that comment, since it’s obvious that God indeed favors Josh Hamilton.

i doubt even hamilton knows everything that he's put into his body

sadly, i’m only half joking. it sucks that he’s only now starting his career because of all that.
