Home Run Derby, 7:00PM CST, ESPN

Figured some people are probobly going to watch it. Prince Fielder is going to be in should it should be mildly interesting.

Prince's second bomb was epic. Cuddy did better than I expected. Cespedes putting on an absolute demonstration currently. Hoping for something like this at some point...

I dont remember the rules for the derby but I doubt Fielder wins it now.

Chris Berman makes it hard to watch. He's really obnoxious.

I sort of envision Bryce Harper coming down on his dad for just throwing him cut fastballs all night.

 

"Jeez, dad, I coulda won this thing if you'd throw me some meatballs."

 

"Son, you took 500 swings every day for five days a week every week for years for a reason. You don't get better hittin' meatballs."

 

"Dad, I'm IN the majors now. Give me a break."

 

 

 

(this whole scene would be like the Seinfeld episode when George is hitting home run after home run at Yankee Stadium during BP and Jeter and others are trying to tell George to relax:

 

"C'mon, George, lay off us. We just won the World Series."

 

George, sarcastically, " . . . in six games . . . .")

 

 

 

 

Obviously, nothing like this probably happened between Bryce and his dad but these are the things that I think of at 12:30 at night.

Bryce Harper's brother's mustache was kinda creepy-looking.
