PrintJust like Chris Berman does, sit back, crack open a fifth of bourbon, and turn on the pun machine. (First one to make a gondeee drinking joke gets banned.)
The order will be:
- Lance Berkman
- Ryan Braun
- Josh Hamilton
- Evan Longoria
- Justin Morneau
- Grady Sizemore
- Dan Uggla
- Chase Utley
I'm rooting for one of the little guys at the end to win.
Baseball Tonight at 7pm, Derby at 8pm.

Drink of choice
Coincidence that gondeee and appletini somewhat rhyme?
I guess I hope Braun or Uggla win it. I’m a NL guy but I loathe the Phillies and Berkman looks too much like a fag for me to root for.
CHRIS BERMAN IS YELLING AT ME ALREADY AND I’M PISSED.
my pick is berkman, i’m cheering for EVAN~!!! though
FUCK CHRIS BERMAN
Does he think people actually like him? Jesus Christ. I wish he would go the hell away.
- Oh, Bobby. -
I think they should add an extra element of excitement to the Derby and put CB Bucknor behind the plate.
Hell yeah he is....
... bitching about having no Hispanics or Dominicans in the derby. What a fuckhead.
- Oh, Bobby. -
It's not his kid
He said All-star weekend was “Grown-ups only”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Chipper's
Probably taking his BP at Shea with Brian McCann.

Christ...
You think Wayne Krivsky would have taken Jeff Francoeur for Josh Hamilton this past offseason? I think he would have. What a fucking amazing baseball player.
- Oh, Bobby. -
Wow
I guess it’s over now, huh?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I love now
That how Hamilton is done, this is just live commentary, with some BP going on in the background.

"We win today, that's two in a row... if we win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before..."
Chicks dig the long ball woth Maddux and Glavine btw

Always curious
That was Heather Locklear, wasn’t it?

Alright Braun
Represent the NL for us, Pujols damn it.

I like how they talk about Hamilton's bye
When it’s really relieved that they can shave some time off this dreaded long event.

Imagine
if Nomar was in one of these… he’d have to adjust his gloves and sweat bands after EVERY pitch.
No kidding
I guess they have a time slot until 11 pm.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
time slot goes from 8-10
"We win today, that's two in a row... if we win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before..."

"We win today, that's two in a row... if we win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before..."
ya but its always on again after the derby, and thats my tradition to watch it then

Guy with a sign that says "josh hamilton is a hero"
I really can’t stand the overuse of the word hero. Why he is a hero? Because he was a druggy and then found Jesus? Because he hits homeruns? Josh Hamilton may be an inspirational story to some, but he’s not a hero. Jeez. Sorry to get off topic, that shit just sticks in my craw.
I kind of agree
It was his own stupidity that put him into the situation he dealt with. I would love to see a stat wizard make a theoretic trail of what his stats could be based on minor league stats, natural progression, and all that stuff, and compare him to what he’s at now. I bet you anything had he been playing all those years he was sticking all sorts of needles and straws into him, he’d be an A-Rod/Pujols-type stat monster.
I dislike it when people try to rebut with “but the addiction!”, because he could avoided the torture by just saying no in the first place.

It was his own stupidity, and I’m not saying that he should be called a “hero” in the true sense of the word. I do give him all the credit in the world for coming back from where he was, to where he is now. Very few people could pull that off – not just coming back to baseball, but back to being a contributing member of society at all.
I just hope it keeps up – I don’t want him to relapse, because if he does, everything goes down the drain. That would be a bigger waste than the first time around.
There’s a great article out there, written by Hamilton himself, from the middle of last year some time. It was on espn.com. If I can find it I’ll post a link. I very rarely print things off the internets for posterity, but this one gives me chills every time I read it. I was getting chills last night too – I mean, how must it have felt for him when the fans were chanting his name during round one, and every single swing was resulting in a 450-foot-plus bomb? Wow.
What Hamilton did last night was amazing. What Hamilton has done to have gotten to last night is also commendable. But considering the circumstances that put him in the situation he needed to overcome to get to last night, I’ll never see him as a hero in the sense of that I’d want my future Pujoliños to look up to. A sports hero, maybe. But nothing else. I seriously have to start watching ESPN events with the mute button engaged from now on.

so hot…
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

You realize
That this is eventually going to escalate into a Jamie vs. Erin debate
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I don’t know if I can decide. I eagerly await your upcoming photoshop…

Hmmm, I could possibly reason giving up a kidney...
or my appendix, or part of my large intestine to look like that. Would say left arm, but then I couldn’t switch hit anymore. Hey, wait, I don’t play very often…..and I could still throw a frisbee…
...and I don’t type that fast anyway.......
Just to make the boys cry ;P
