Let's go Jones.

Chris Berman looks like he goes to Celcius Tannery.

Dudes dead within 10 years. Maybe 5.

at least it is not snow

That's going to be there awhile...

Back Back Back

The Expendables III looks like a trainwreck........but you know you will watch.

Has the Home Run Derby ever been rained out?

Just when you were this >< close to forgetting all about Berman....

Why on earth is he still calling this? Does anyone think he is good?

HR Derby drinking game. You take a drink everytime Berman says "back, back, back back, back....."

You enjoy getting your stomach pumped?

I say Puig wins...he looks jacked as ****

Does Jeter belong in the All Star Game? Other than a farewell ovation?

Yes...he is Derek Jeter in his last game....gotta be there

@bobfescoe: The only thing worse than Berman calling home run derby is Berman doing rain delay coverage for HR Derby

Its time for espn to follow in the footsteps of Fox Sports and Pam Oliver, demote the mother****er lol.

Understood. Seems fair.

Still raining

Nice AB Frazier.

:rolleyes:

These guys are showing some Royals power so far

they must have told Berman not to say Back Back Back Gone

Yea. I should be drunk by now.

thats great, now he's not annoying in the least. lol I was thinking i may have to mute this.

[looks for knife to stab self in ear holes]

Nope, there it was

Berman said going to Minnetonka.

Not in left field.

North Minneapolis.

The camera guy sucks

BACK BACK BACK GONE!

Turning it. Would rather watch soccer.

Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage is on Palladia if anyone is interested

Puig executes the first ever bunt in HR derby history

Puig tries to hit one out of the stadium but it was foul. Shut out.

Lol

Puig. LMAO

Puig, who the hell check swings in a HR derby? That was sad performance.

Stanton dropping bombs.

Stanton would sure look good in Royal Blue.

What a ****ing shot!

God DAMN

Just about tried to hit one out of the stadium. Projected distance 510. That was a bomb.

That homer by Stanton still hasn't landed.

That was McGwire or Galarraga-esque. You don't see too many of those anymore.

About 5 rows from out of the stadium.

Would you trade Zimmer for Stanton?

Twice

Four times

Every day of the week and 10 times on Sunday.

Everyday.

Was that a serious question?

What about Zimmer and Duffy for Stanton

I would

I remember "The Big Cat" hit one in the upper deck in Miami after a rain delay. Nobody was there to get it.

And I really like duff
Posted via Mobile Device

It would take a lot more.

Everyday for eternity. As a matter of fact, take any two or three players in the entire Royals organization(Salvy and Gordon only exceptions)and trade then for Stanton

I would trade either of them for him

Me to. But not both

Has it been said that Chris Berman is the worst? Seriously. Just terrible.

Try zimmer, Duffy, sal Perez to start the talk.

I came to CP to look for this thread to post this exact thing.

Would anyone even notice if they didnt have the home run derby or the all star game?

Hell for that matter would anyone notice if mlb just disappeared? Who watches that shit fest?

Nix the derby. Move the All Star Game to post season. Start NFL training camps during All Star break.

Is this some payback for posters trolling your soccer thread?

Heh, not many would miss the HR derby. All Star game probably, although the ratings keep diving lower and lower and there is nearly zero buzz about it anymore.

Quality post.

Todd Frazier, giant killer.

No. I didn't create the soccer thread or any other thread about soccer. They were not my threads. Asking in general. I can't think of any reason why any human would watch mlb.

The HR derby IMHO has lost it's luster because of the way it's scheduled and the placing of AL v. NL brackets and what not.

Doesn't help when the announcers are annoying as hell.

When someone asked the same question about soccer what was your response?

What's the likelihood of Berman saying "Down goes Frazier" when Cespedes wins.

1 ****ing home run should never get you in the finals.

It's also because of "big names" like Puig, who only has 12 homeruns, whereas Anthony Rizzo should be there instead of Puig, since Rizzo has 20.

Heh, your acting like this shit actually means something.

Is Jeter in this thing? I'll be mildly surprised if he isn't.

Berman needs to "retire". Let Al Michaels or Jack Buck say something about the swings. Or just shut the hell up.

A 356 ft home run is a 2nd decker? WTF kind of ball do they play in the twin cities?

I'm trolling dude. Lighten up. No one cares about the HR derby. Now the All-Star game thats different because of home field advantage.

I think that my Cardinals had a way better chance last year in the world series if we would had won the All-Star game and had home field advantage.
