Mik 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 After he broke the record, Cabrera and Mora mobbed him. I thought that was pretty funny. Just unreal. When Pudge brought him a drink, Abreu said..."Thank you. You're so gentle." All the HRs and a sense of humor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 This is one of the downsides of the derby. Usually one or two guys who can't get a homer. Can't help but feel bad for them. It's all fun, but it can't feel to great to go up there on a grand stage and not hit a single ball out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Winfield is the only player I've ever shook hands with at a game (Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays in 1992). My Grandparents and I were sitting behind the visitors dugout and it was a bit before the game and he was out in front of the dugout... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 I can't believe how much Cabrera looks like a 12 year old. I swear at one point it looked like Ortiz was going to pat his head and give him a cookie. IMO, they need to go to a pitching machine next year. It is insane to have stretches where someone will go 5 or 6 pitches without swinging. Everyone can have the machine set to where they want and they can take one pitch per swing to get into their timing. Either that or they have to cut a round. I was just begging for it to get over by the end. And I can't believe during Abreu's 2nd round, after he put up a 24 spot, that they use that time to devote to Selig, steroids, and Rogers. "Well we don't want the Rogers stuff to ruin the festivities, but let's spend 20 minutes on it instead of talking about the man who made history 45 minutes ago." Fuck you ESPN. Well, I feel better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 I know. Selig just droned on and on and on and ON. The guy needs LESS facetime on TV, not more. Put a spokesman out there instead that can actually keep people interested in what he's saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fartsauce 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 This is a few days after the derby but it seems to me the reason this got boring so fast is because Detroit doesn't have anything exciting in the seats. What I mean is...they don't have any major 2nd, 3rd, or higher decks that a player could hit a ball into and go "WOW". The derby is much more interesting at parks with stuff to hit in the outfield, or multiple decks to hit the ball into. Just my theory though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
