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.

I like Dan Uggla
A rule 5 draftee slugging over .600 at 2B. You gotta love that.

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.

bleah
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?
by Eric Simon on Jul 14, 2008 9:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I could probably play it faster with more players
on “The Show”.

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

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.

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?

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.

He’ll probably still be in 1st place.

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.

Jeter gets to compare himself to the greatest of all time
He compares unfavorably.
