Yeah but was that not the most boring thing ever last night?First off, if you're chosen (and I'm not quite sure how these dudes are chosen or by whom) you gotta at least hit one homerun. I mean they're lobbing them over the plate and you can't hit one out? C'mon Brandon Inge. Good job buddy, here's a gatorade. I'm embarassed.
But baseball has it all wrong. They need to look to the NBA and how entertaining their All-Star festivities can be. Dunk contests blow homerun derbies out of the water. How bout someone up there blindfolded trying to hit homers? Or maybe instead of little kids out on the field you got every mascots in the MLB, and you try and pick them off. Extra points for the Philly Phanatic. Let's get two guys up there trying to hit one pitch. I dunno I'm brainstorming.
Anyway you look at it last night was a drag. From hometown hero Pujols barely making it into the second round to the complete anti-climax of Prince Fielder walking away with the "title" what a snore. And the most interesting thing they could say about Fielder winning is "Ooh he used Ryan Braun's bat". So what!? What about the real reason that Prince was so stoked to win? Because in reality he was sticking it to his father, who he hates so much, and competed in the derby back in the day but never won. Last night was a big ol' jab is his estranged fathers eyeball. Too bad he wasn't there. I would've stayed to watch that.Now let's see if the National League can actually win this year.
