Home Run Derby IGT

[MFS62]

I'd rather watch your other suggestion:

Maybe if the losing team wives/GF's then had to walk around the outfield topless.

The Home Derb is a silly frivolity whose primary audience is nine year olds.

It'd be tough to think of something lower on the list of things I give a shit about than the home run derby.

Watched Pete. Then turned it off. Agree it's kinda boring.

I think there's ways you can make it fun though. For HR derby, you can switch it up year to year between an individual competition and AL vs. NL. Five guys, 20 swings each or something like that. You can have a skills competition. Bunting. Fielding. You can set up a course where you field a ball then fire it at target. Make it fun.

I don't know that it would be enough to get Fman to watch. Maybe if the losing team wives/GF's then had to walk around the outfield topless.

Ceetar, ABNS & I talked about this a bit last night in our most recent "Mets On Tap" podcast episode. I also advocated for the skills competition. I'd watch even a titty-less version of that I think.

I did watch amy of the ASG last night, did Pete get in the game ? Did he do anything?

[Edgy MD]

Got in the game and made a modestly deft put out at first.

Struck out in the ninth against a powered-up Emmanuel Clase.

Thanks ,I posted in the wrong thread, no wonder I didn't see anything about Pete in the game

[Frayed Knot]

IIRC, Barry Larkin injured himself in an ASG-related skills competition (something to do with throwing) and it never resurfaced after that.

[Edgy MD]

Well, not the strongest version of the anthem.

The young lady is sadly checking into rehab after acknowledging she was drunk during the performance.

[MFS62]

Francis Scott Key is still spinning in his grave like a Costco rotisserie chicken.
She insulted American worse than an Ayatollah on crack.
Rehab?
What about extradition?
That was awful.

Strongly worded message to follow.

She certainly embarrassed herself, but I have a hard time seeing how she "insulted America".

[metirish]

Harsh , I feel for the girl,and hopefully she comes through it all

Among the comments I saw:
- The Star Strangled Banner
- Listening to that makes me wish we had lost to the British

She certainly embarrassed herself, but I have a hard time seeing how she "insulted America".

When they announce the Anthem at events, I've heard the PA announcer say, "Please stand to honor America".
That was no "honor".
It was offensive, and I feel strongly about that.
