MLB All-Star Weekend - Homerun Derby

Posted on 07/15/2008 7:34:37 AM PDT by frankiep

Did anyone see the Homerun Derby at Yankee Stadium last night? As a Mets fan I usually only watch National League teams, so I had only heard about Josh Hamilton's story and haven't really seen him in action. This guy is a beast though. I have never seen a display of power like the one he put on last night. And just think that he did it, and is in the middle of this incredible season he is having, after missing 3 full years and practically no time in the minors. Unbelieveable. The real life version of The Natural.

I think it might. I think they have both a low and high bandwidth. I know the site in general does.

You just might not get the new bells and whistles. I know they have a version for cell phones. I’ve used it.

WOW! That catch by Ludwig in left! (Just like the one you made in RF last month!)

And Sugarfree Red Bull - now they’re talking my language!

Actually I was talking about the ALCS game 6, Astros v. Mets.

I got the DVD set from A&E (the cable channel) Video a couple of years ago. It has the entire World Series plus the Mets/Astros game 6.

Got it - that NL playoff was damn amazing.

I’ll look for the DVDs, thanks.

I’m sure he’ll pick up that Bob Stanley didn’t cover first in time.

Mookie would have beat him anyway! (But the run might not have scored)

That’s right - it looked to my son as if the runner was out - looked like he was OVER the plate but not on it when he was tagged.

GREAT game.

I’m an NL fan, but this was a well-played ASG on both sides.One of the best I’ve seen.

The MLB blog is a good one - and what a great game!! Good thing Selig didn’t get involved in the outcome.
