Prince Fielder - Milwaukee
Vladimir Guerrero - Los Angeles (AL)
Matt Holliday - Colorado
Ryan Howard - Philadelphia
Justin Morneau - Minnesota
Magglio Ordoñez - Detroit
Albert Pujols - St. Louis
Alex Ríos - Toronto

My money is on Fielder. My backups would be Howard or Pujols. Maggs/Rios? Yeah right.

7/9/2007 3:29:14 PM

If Pujols gets to the finals he should beat Fielder or Howard b/c they will tire and fade.

Of course, you never know what the wind is going to be doing at SF and that will be a huge factor.

7/9/2007 3:43:55 PM

This is a stacked HR Derby

but I got Holliday

I've got a feeling he's going to take it from all these other big names

7/9/2007 3:46:44 PM

Round 1: Fielder, Pujols, Howard, Holliday
Round 2: Fielder, Howard
Round 3: Fielder

7/9/2007 4:06:19 PM

When did Holliday announce he was in it? This morning?

I gotta go with Howard or Fielder. They are going to be wearing out McCovey Cove... Holliday isn't a great HR hitter even considering he plays in Coors and only has, what, 16? Vlad could be a factor if the pitching coach throws them below his knees...

I have to be in SF for work at 3 so I'm probably gonna watch it across the street from AT&T at Momo's...

That was true in Candlestick but at AT&T you pretty much know it's going to be blowing slightly in from CF to RF..

Pujols.

7/9/2007 4:11:17 PM

Prince.

7/9/2007 4:12:36 PM

I think Prince Fielder. I saw him take batting practice with Cecil at Yankee stadium in 96 or 97....he was probably a teenager, and he was hitting balls into the upper deck and into the black seats (450+ feet away). I remember thinking "this kid is going to the big leagues." He currently leads the national league with 29

7/9/2007 4:13:37 PM

Miguel Cabrera was injured on 7/7/07; Holliday took his place.

7/9/2007 4:15:43 PM

Morneau.

Dude has serious power...fo a whitey.

7/9/2007 4:24:47 PM

^yeah he hit 3 homers in the 2nd game of a CHI MIN doubleheader the other day

but

"I gotta go with Howard or Fielder"

and hopefully Maglio will find his stroke cause his lack of homers lately has been slightly hampering my fantasy team...quite the change from his multi homer games he was having in May

7/9/2007 4:26:55 PM

Justin Morneau

plain and simple

7/9/2007 4:30:34 PM

Morneau's OPS jumped 40-something points over a period of three days. That's scary.

7/9/2007 4:35:48 PM

griffey

7/9/2007 4:41:49 PM

^i dont think he'll have anything for Mo Vaughn or Dave Winfield

7/9/2007 4:42:31 PM

Matt Holliday will win and Scott Boras will get him a new contract with the Yanks or Sox.
He's been under the radar compared to the other guys, and he has more to prove than anyone else in this contest.

7/9/2007 4:47:38 PM

I like how when Bonds was asked why he didn't want to enter the derby, he said "I have nothing to prove"

Well maybe you don't have to prove that you can hit big homeruns...but you DO have something to prove...that you aren't a fucking roidhead!

7/9/2007 4:54:21 PM

bonds is such a fucking pussy. waaaaah, its cold, i'm old..........maybe the roids shrank his balls, but this is beyond faggotry. is his goal to have his own fans hating him?

7/9/2007 6:43:35 PM

Fielder

7/9/2007 6:49:49 PM

is it still funny to call him poo-holes?

7/9/2007 6:52:21 PM

Prince Fielder's fat ass gets tired running to 1st

7/9/2007 7:45:28 PM

StingrayRush sure has a hard-on for Bonds, you talk shit about him in all of the baseball threads...not saying its undeserved, just making an observtion

and I wanna cast my vote for Howard to win the derby

7/9/2007 7:45:57 PM

for real though that is fucked up that bonds isn't playing in front of his own fucking fans. You should play the game for the fans in addition to the shit tons of $$$ you are making.

7/9/2007 7:50:49 PM

matt holliday's dad coaches at nc state ?

where have i been

7/9/2007 8:06:50 PM

kenny mayne has the coolest job in the world

7/9/2007 8:15:03 PM

Barry Bonds continues to prove that he is an asshole. First off he has TWW like voting swing to be a starter for the National League (He was down over 100,000 to Soriano and came back and beat him by 150,000 in one day). The All-Star Game is in your city to the fans that support you more than anywhere else and you can't participate in an event that is a fan favorite and you are about to break the all-time record.


My pick is Prince Fielder

7/9/2007 8:15:19 PM

did i just see carlos mencia

7/9/2007 8:17:10 PM

i dont know why everybody is complaining about bonds not participating in the derby... i would've much rather seen griffey rock the backwards hat in search of his 4th derby title

7/9/2007 8:19:04 PM

that guy was the dad in my brother and me

the commercial about the hank aaron HR

7/9/2007 8:25:10 PM

^^ you know this shit would be much more exciting if Bonds was in it though.. it's just too bad he's such a fucking asshole

7/9/2007 8:28:51 PM

MLB fan voting is a joke in general, but once again people get pissed at Bonds for something everyone else is doing...

7/9/2007 8:29:35 PM

^ what other San Francisco Giant do you know was asked to participate in the HRD who was about to break the all time HR record and says, naw I'm not doing homerun derby.

7/9/2007 8:37:50 PM

i wanna get one of those National league hats


hell yea

7/9/2007 8:39:21 PM

I think its funny how everyone hates on Bonds

and also like the fact that he couldnt give two shits about what everyone else thinks

7/9/2007 8:42:32 PM

barry bonds is to david ortiz as penis is to vagina

i could have replaced "david ortiz" with "any other asshole"

7/9/2007 8:44:53 PM

fucking chris berman. 30 seconds into it and I'm already hitting the mute button.

7/9/2007 8:46:52 PM

just as I suspected, Prince Fielder is a fat fuck

are you serious? if by hard on you mean hating his guts, then yeah, i guess i do....along with about 95% of baseball fans on this board

7/9/2007 9:43:49 PM

do you think they had any intention of starting The Bronx Is Burning on time? the thing was supposed to start an hour ago

7/9/2007 10:45:14 PM

well they took a long ass commercial between hitters, then did pointless interviews between hitters, plus had a swing off. piss poor planning all around

7/9/2007 11:06:11 PM

^ I could've told you that was going to happen. All-star events always run over by huge margins because the pace is so leisurely. I added 90 minutes to the record time of my DVR before I went to work and got everything.

7/10/2007 1:47:02 PM

gg Gammons for asking the tough questions lol.

Seriously though, let's wait til Cabrera steps into the batters box and then we'll START the interview with Bonds. WTF was up with that?

Before this past season Coach Avent stole him away from Texas somehow. He is our Associate Head Coach now.

Ha ha maybe this post was a joke. That isn't Fielder, it's the other fat black 1B representing the NL in the HR Derby.

7/10/2007 6:07:36 PM

Madman was just STELLAR on his picks. Way to nail it, buddy.
