If I were drafting a winner...

Howard

Fielder

Pujols

Vlad

Morneau

Ordonez

Holliday

Rios

 

[Green94]

I went with Howard last year, I'll go with Prince this year.

 

[Steelnation]

Repeat

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Fielder. He's the youngest of the group I believe and he probably will want to win.

 

[LHUCKS]

two horse race between Fielder and Howard.

 

[Capella]

This thing sort of seems like it was made for a guy like Prince. I may put a few bucks on him actually.

Used to love this event, but it really drags on now and I can't usually keep interest for more than 20 minutes or so. Especially with Berman just killing any inclination I have to watch with his tired shtick.

 

[Spiderman]

Justin Morneau is my guy tonight.

 

[Hov34]

Barry Lamar Bonds

 

[prosopis]

Fielder

 

[tommyGunZ]

Justin Morneau is my guy tonight.

DING DING DING

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Justin Morneau is my guy tonight.

Cool. Because I couldn't decide between him and Prince.Fielder it is.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

When does this stupid thing go anyway?

And is there any chance someone from the field can win (@ 11 - 1)? That's happened before, right?

 

[Capella]

I put a small (and I mean small) bet on Prince at 3-1. This is too stupid of an event to go crazy on.

Put a buck on Fielder as well (+295). Tried to add Vlad in there at a nice price but got shutout.We'll see...

 

[Capella]

I bet being out in that water with some beer would be a lot of fun.

 

[wilked]

Agree, in the kayak is the place to be

 

[ThisGuy]

we all lose as Chris Berman is MCing again

Anyone else see that Morneau HR hit the photographer in the head on the platform? Nearly knocked him into the cove.

 

[Ilov80s]

What a dud of a HR derby. Also, further proof that the balls for the HR Derby @ Comerica were juiced. I love the announcers saying how big Pac Bell is and how its such a different park then Comerica....yeah, Comerica is much, much larger.

 

[HoTnickZ]

The overly rooting for their picks is annoying.. Morgan is almost foaming at the mouth at this point.

 

[Limp Ditka]

So who got more unwarranted air time tonight?

Bonds, who wasn't even in the competition, or Jordan the Barber?

Last time one of my fantasy players won the HR derby, my fantasy team never recovered from it.....

Mother####er, does that suck. He was 8 - 1. What's worse, is I went to call it in as the contest hadn't come close to actually starting, but when I turned my phone on, it shut down (out of batteries). Even went to charge it briefly, but was too late.

Big mistake. I hate that.

AT&T

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Was really pulling for Holliday. I love the guy's swing.

Me too. They were saying he can dunk, no problem, and was a good QB at Iowa State or some place...

How did you get in here? Just admit that a little part of you likes baseball.

 

[Nigel]

Something to remember when wagering on this in the future: fat guys can't win it, you really do have to be in decent shape to win in this format.

 

[shadyridr]

Bonds, who wasn't even in the competition, or Jordan the Barber?

Who was that? Was he... ummm... a bit slow?

 

[Capella]

I honestly don't know how somebody could sit through all 3 hours of that. ####ing painful, I didn't last 15 minutes.

I went to an Independent League game last night (North Shore vs. Sussex.) Free tickets, great food, real nice little park and a great game to watch. Attendance was announced at 1,100 or so. The home pitcher went 9, threw about a million pitches, and got the CG SO. Our Governor even showed up for a few innings.Anyway, I was sitting next to a team sponsor and he said he personally handed out over 180 tickets for the game, yet only about 30 showed. He kept hearing that guys wanted to stay home to watch the derby instead. :wtf:

While I agree that the balls in Detroit were juiced (a Red Sox trainer said he felt they were when he was pitching to Ortiz before the contest)...
Park Factor - Through Monday, July 9, 2007

Rank / Name (Location) / Overall PF / HR PF

#13 Comerica Park (Detroit, Michigan) 1.017 1.137

#19 AT&T Park (San Francisco, California) 0.946 0.644

In fact, AT&T has been the worst park for homeruns in baseball this year by a wide margin, the same as last year.
