Bored 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 If anyone feels that the All-Star Game or, God help us, the Homerun Derby deserves their own thread be my guest but otherwise I think the regular weekly thread will work fine.

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 Miguel Cabrera pulled out of the HR derby. His shoulder is injured. Word is still coming in if an errant trip to the refrigerator was involved, somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 I was mildly pissed after Hanley didn't make the All-Star team, but did you know that he's currently 3rd in the entire MLB (behind A-Rod and Magglio Ordonez only) in VORP at 45.1. I'm hoping that Miggy pulls out of the AS game so that Hanley can rightfully go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted July 10, 2007 I think this'll be the first derby I've missed in a long time, and I'm glad for it. Missing my annual Berman head-ache is a good thing, plus not having to deal with Kenny Mayne. Yay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Worst home run derby in a long time. That's what you get when you're playing in the hardest park to hit home runs in, and Griffey, Bonds, A-Rod and Dunn aren't in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Funny moment with Big Papi. With sunglasses and all gets a phone call and gets a new bat for Guerrero after he got 3 outs. He's hit 4 HRs since. I hope Guerrero makes it far so we get to see Big Papi coach him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
