Go Adrian Gonzalez?

[RedOctober3829]

Any lineup that can feature Papi and Cano 7th and 8th is quite impressive.

[mascho]

Mute button will be getting a workout tonight, for sure.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

ESPN built their set over second base? Really?

[Rasputin]

Yes, yes it will.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Who dressed Sam Fuld?

[RedOctober3829]

Love me some Jason Aldean music

[ilol@u]

So the AL has this Derby right? I personally don't like the Cano decision but whatever.

[uncannymanny]

MLB At-Bat has had Baitista with 11 in the first round all day today.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Luckily for Cano it's not a walk derby.

[nvalvo]

Who is this godawful band?

Countrified rock with mohawked drummer? WTF.

This assclown in the cowboy hat..... I don't think I've ever reached for the controller any faster.

[nvalvo]

I love the little kid covering his ears. Classic.

[mascho]

Love Rolen's son covering his ears with his hands. Awesome.

Jason Aldean is one of the most popular country music artists. You people don't know good music apparently.

hes also boys with Josh F Beckett according to Casey

[Bigpupp]

and my wife swears that he (Aledean) looks like Beckett....

I assume Arcade Fire weren't available?

And then I unmute my TV only to hear Chris Berman yell out, "ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR SOME LONGBALL!!!"

This is going to be fantastic.

[koufax32]

CHRIS BERMAN ROCKZ!!!1!1

[mascho]

Um, Seal Team Six? The American people need you to eliminate one more target...the rather large man in the hideous yellow, red, brown, black, purple, white, orange and grey striped tie near home plate.

[Foulkey Reese]

Every year I tell myself that I'll never watch this again. Ever year, here I am.

[mascho]

I lost count at eight colors in Berman's tie. At least one player tonight won't hit as many HRs.

[RedOctober3829]

Prisoners on Guantanamo should have been forced to listen to Berman's home run calls and I think bin Laden would have been found way beforehand.

[Hendu's Gait]

I though Varejao was taller than that.

[CoRP]

CHRIS BERMAN ROCKZ!!!1!1

Is it a crime to set fire to Chris Berman?

[cshea]

Every year I tell myself that I'll never watch this again. Ever year, here I am.

I do the same thing, though in fairness, it's a random Monday in July and there isn't anything else to do.

Edit: Nomar is an interesting choice for the broadcast.

It's a crime against humanity not to.

[RedOctober3829]

"And a couple .300 .........batters."

[Beomoose]

It could be a disaster in the end but I'm cautiously optimistic about Kruk and Nomar.

I loled

[Hendu's Gait]

World Cup game winning smile there on Nomah

[Snodgrass'Muff]

I love hearing Prince Fielder explaining to his kid why the audience is booing him.

And who's idea was it to ask the captains questions like it was a prize fight or something? This is already off to an inauspicious start.

[mpx42]

I watch it on the off chance that something entertaining like Hamilton hitting 28 in the first round and then losing will happen.

Popular != good

Silly not to have Justin Upton participating.

If baseball were marijuana, the HR Derby would be the shitty, cheap, Mexican brick weed you would buy dimebags of in high school. It smells bad, it tastes bad, the high kinda sucks.... but it's still weed. Kind of. I mean... there's bats. And a ball. And a guy throwing the ball. And a guy swinging the bat at the ball. Baseball, right?

Fire it up.

[koufax32]

Those kids look severely handicapped with those helmets.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Just like we all predicted 10 years ago, Nomar is still going to All Star games while Jeter and A-Rod are home. Vindication.

[staz]

That kid stole Lowrie's helmet.

[Ahriman]

Wow, forgot how much I hated ESPN.

[scottyno]

Silly not to have Justin Upton participating.

thats what happens when you let captains pick and a guy picks his own teammate

[CaptainLaddie]

I really hope Bautista jacks one, and screams 'You're with ME, leather!'

I wasn't feeling this analogy at all when you started. But it came around nicely. Also, I think this night would be a whole lot more enjoyable if I could toke up before they get started.

[cshea]

Hard to believe that Ripken HR in Safeco was 10 years ago.

[koufax32]

Silly not to have Justin Upton participating.

But we get to watch Matt Holiday!

[scottyno]

they somehow found a way to make the derby go even more overtime than it does every other year by having captains

[canderson]

Switching from MLB TV's preshow coverage to ESPN's was like being bit in the balls by a Rottweiler.

[notfar]

I really wish Wily Mo was in this thing. His skillset is perfect.
