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.

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.

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?

No doubt about Berman. He does need to retire or give it to someone else to do this thing. His shick is getting old quickly.

He signed a multi-year extension in 2012. Not sure what his salary is; I've heard it's anywhere from 1 mil to 15 mil a year. However much it is, he basically has a free pass to steal money from ESPN at this point, even if he did build it from the ground up.

I agree that he was as responsible as anyone for the popularity of ESPN. His schtick was orginal back in the day. But the schtick that was was original in 1985 grinds on the ears in 2014.

I'll never understand why they keep giving him "play by play" gigs? He's not a "play by play" guy. He's a studio guy. Stick to the studio Berman.

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

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

The league that has won the All-Star game has won the World Series 8 of 11 times since they changed the format.
Since 2008 5 out of 5.

Stanton is a likable guy; I hope he doesn't end up on the Yankees.

It's going to be one of the teams with the $2 BILLION cable TV contracts.
