The Home Run Derby is being held in a pitcher's ballpark. Bad news, especially for ESPN. Just because Barry Bonds can hit them into the China Basin doesn't mean any Derby contestants can.

If the All-Star Game counts, why does Baseball still insist on having all teams represented? This can lead to only one thing: A dark rainy day in October when the Mets will be cursing Bud Selig as they lose Game 7 of the World Series in a ballpark other than their own, because John Maine was not selected to the All-Star Team.
The Espys are being taped this week for airing on Sunday. I have only two words about it: Shameless self-promotion.
A hero he certainly was. I was a high school student in 1977, with less than a budding interest in baseball. The day after the consecutive home run feat, I turned to a boy in my speech class who had a copy of the Daily News on his desk. On the cover was a picture of the Yankee scoreboard, which had simply said, "Re-gie, Re-gie, Re-gie...." I looked at the paper, then at my classmate and said, "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie..." and shrugged my shoulders. Without looking up at me the boy smiled, shook his head and said, "Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah!"
Enjoy the break!

*LOVE* your blog! i'm watching the derby as i type and you have been right on the mark thus far!
i'm cheering for justin morneau... i watched him play AA ball and was impressed way back then.
i added you to my blog roll!
Well, the Homerun Derby was not as exciting as it was hyped to be. The only exception was when Morneau was batting. Oh well, I hope the All-Star game has a little drama or something.
