I don't know why but I'm pulling for Chris Young. I think he'll do well in the derby and could possibly be the dark horse winner. Probably way off though and I probably jinxed him with only 2 HR's in the first round.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought they used to get the whole week off

Figures. He has a good swing for the derby. I'm guessing the nerves got to him.

I'd like to give Chris Berman a back-back-back-back-back-backhand right across his face.

I mean I like Berman and all but when it comes to the Homerun Derby I gotta mute him after 5 homeruns.

HAHA! I totally agree.

Is it unAmerican of me to think that the HR Derby is boring? And the whole All-Star festivities in general?
