Chris Berman doing play-by-play. Mute button ON.

Coulda sworn I heard Chase Utley say, "Boo? Fuck you..." as he was introduced. Someone tell him them microphones is hot.

metirish Jul 14 2008 06:13 PM

Steve Phillips has a tan like George Hamilton.

Elster88 Jul 14 2008 06:15 PM

Why do I hate Steve Phillips so much?

Grady Sizemore has a nice, smooth swing. Pretty. And I like Jeff Datz slinging 'em kinda sidearm for him. He's throwing harder than Mike Gallego was for Uggla also.

Did a CPFer just catch that one?

Zvon Jul 14 2008 06:35 PM

They might as well call this the ESPN CHAT DERBY. Someone tell the camera people that they should try showing what the batters doing.

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:00 PM

Not exactly McGwire circa 1999 , a tepid Derby to say the least so far.

OlerudOwned Jul 14 2008 07:06 PM

Berman, Morgan, and Phillips together. It's like it was specially designed to test my patience.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 14 2008 07:07 PM

Just getting here. Hey, did you guys know the All-Star Game was in Yankee Stadium? They said it was the last year or something? Who knew?

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:18 PM

They say it was built by some chick named Ruth. You'd think a female architect would never have gotten the bid for something this big.

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:18 PM

Brauns agent is pitching to him. Now I've seen everything.

^Ha! Ain't technology wunnerful?

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:27 PM

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:33 PM

That was classic form Utley.

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:33 PM

I thought round one was over.^ Looks like I should have waited for Josh, who's puttin on a show.

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:35 PM

Someone is going to fall from the upper deck the way the fans are acting.

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:38 PM

Holy CRAP, Josh Hamilton. And to think... just about any team in baseball could probably have had this guy.

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:39 PM

I'm expecting Jimmy Roberts to come on and tell Hamilton's story , jeez.

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:40 PM

Do NOT eff with the NYPD, fellas.

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:42 PM

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:42 PM

He hit that off his shoes!! Unreal.

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:43 PM

Jam job, pop fly to right -- lands in the upper deck. Dang.

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:45 PM

This is what it's all about, brilliant.

attgig Jul 14 2008 07:46 PM

dang unreal...

metirish Jul 14 2008 07:47 PM

I think his pitcher is tiring.

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 07:47 PM

I'll say this -- I actually like the All-Star jerseys this year with the facade and the little red star.

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:48 PM

He's gonna wear out his 71 year old pitcher. lol 28!

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:53 PM

Zvon Jul 14 2008 07:55 PM

That was fun to watch. Amazing display of kaboomisness.

seawolf17 Jul 14 2008 08:00 PM

I thought he was going to break Yankee Stadium. I don't like Lance Berkman without the goatee - he doesn't look as much like me. Bring it back, Lance, so I can live the life of a major leaguer vicariously through you.

attgig Jul 14 2008 08:00 PM

it was. now i'm worried that he's tired out, and he's not going to be able to pump out as many home runs in the final round when it counts...

metirish Jul 14 2008 08:01 PM

Now they just about ignore Berkman...

attgig Jul 14 2008 08:05 PM

and they ignore morneau more..

attgig Jul 14 2008 08:15 PM

lol @ the commentator... "it's a rough night to be an atheist" re: Hamilton 'finding religion'

Well that was a let down for Hamilton, still he put on a great show.

OlerudOwned Jul 14 2008 08:54 PM

Hamilton is a choker, no gold balls and only 3 in the finals. Trade his ass.

Zvon Jul 14 2008 08:56 PM

Rockin' Doc Jul 14 2008 09:09 PM

The Mets should offer the Rangers Castillo for Hamilton. Of course, the Mets would likely have to throw in a sack of gold balls.
