Home Run Derby 2008

[mross34]

Utley rallies late but finishes with 5. Probably won't advance.

Fuck the Phillies.

Let's go Mets.

 

[mross34]

Berkman just pummeled three balls halfway up the 3rd deck. 4 HRs with 2 outs to go

 

[mross34]

Berkman sends his 8th out to deep, deep center and will almost definitely advance.

 

[Jake]

Longoria finishes with 3. Looked like he was a little over anxious. Pretty typical of a rookie.

Fine with me. He has some work to do for most of my fantasy teams in the second half.

 

[mross34]

Morneau's been hitting ropes. Balls seem to carry an upward trajectory all the way out of the park. Ties Berkman with 8 homeruns and will advance the second round with Berkman.

Wow.... the ball just explodes off of Berkman and Morneau's bats

 

[Jake]

Morneau's been hitting ropes. Balls seem to carry an upward trajectory all the way out of the park. Ties Berkman with 8 homeruns and will advance the second round with Berkman.

Definitely look like the early favorites.

 

[mross34]

Berkman has the 3 longest homeruns of the night, including a 476 shot to center.

 

[mross34]

Braun looks like he made a questionable decision in having his agent throw to him. Has 4 homeruns with 2 outs to go.

 

[mross34]

Spoke too soon. Braun launches the next 2 into the 3rd deck in left field and then takes the next one the opposite way.

 

[mross34]

Braun finishes with 7 and will advance to the next round. The favorite, Hamilton, is the last up and needs to match Braun's 7 to advance.

 

[leroyjenkins]

do just 2 advance?

 

[buck e]

Spoke too soon. Braun launches the next 2 into the 3rd deck in right field and then takes the next one the opposite way.

He's a stud. Of all the players in this contest, he could go on to have the best career... well, he and Hamilton assuming Hamilton stays healthy and keeps it together.

 

[mross34]

4 advance to the next round, scores carry over and whichever two have accumulated the most after ten more swings advance to the finals. HRD is way too long these days.

I'm gonna miss this kid.

Eat em' up Josh!
