This Home Run Derby is full of bums

[milwaukee mike]

have we ever had a lineup this crappy in the hr derby


that said i went with the hometown bum corey hart 5-1, let's go for back-back brewers

[Doc JS]

If you don't like the line-up, don't watch! Problem solved. Glad to be of service!

Doc

[Brock Landers]

Bums?

Lets see you hit ONE homer in that park pal.

[mikemca]

I'll take Vernon Wells at 15/2.He is on something this year.

[Fishhead]

The sooner soccer becomes popular in the USA the better..........MLB is rotting away.

[Deuce]

Miggy Cabrera

[milwaukee mike]

this event has turned into the slam dunk contest
i want to see lebron/kobe/wade in the slam dunk contest, just like i want to see pujols/fielder/ryan howard/vlad guerrero in the hr derby

can't believe you guys are defending this lineup
you would really rather see chris young and nick swisher than pujols and fielder?

[juuso]

Hanley Ramirez best value here IMO. Putting small bet on him.

not the best HR derby lineup, should replace ortiz wells and ramirez. I'm also on Hart to win at 7.5-1

[thebertshow]

hometown bum corey hart looks good to me

[milwaukee mike]

nice odds jram where did you get that if you don't mind my asking?

[landers781]

Yea i was just talking about this to a buddy of mine. I think the derby might mess peoples swings up or something. Remember when Abreau won a few years back, after that he wasnt the same for 3-4 years

[JEK]

Who really cares, the HR derby is a joke anyways.

[swaindexter]

Not a great card for the HR derby, but why would some of these stars want to do it anyway? The HR Derby takes alot out of a guy and it is not as easy as it seems. I think this is a NO PLAY today.

[milwaukee mike]

i disagree jek, i think it's one of the great sporting events of the year
love to watch these guys smack a bunch of homers, especially if i'm winning money on it!

[konck]

Is Carlos Quentin in the derby he has been on fire right at the break I wouldnt mind dropping some money on him

[Betting Guru]

The Homerun Derby is starting to be like watching the NBA Dunk Contest. Nobody cares because the big name players are not involved.

Yea, A lot of guys decline to take part in the home run derby in fear of messing up their swings.

[lunchbawks]

I'll take Vernon Wells at 15/2.He is on something this year.

im playing small on vernon too

[wtt0315]

i like the fat guys. last year prince this year ortiz

[SlickFazzer]

wells and swisher.....lets see what happens.

[Fischnasty]

im thinking about swisher myself. probably i will go with him and corey hart.

[capper123]

yeah the card dont have any stand out names.

[Doc JS]

The sooner soccer becomes popular in the USA the better..........MLB is rotting away.

Fish, "popular" is a relative term. If by "popular", you mean a certain segment of the sporting obsessed population will get jazzed up every for years for a month for the World Cup, then I think U R already there. If by "popular", you mean overtake one of the big 3 (or four, if you want to include hockey), I don't think that will happen in your life-time...

[soxwin]

no one likes miggy here? at 11/4

[AL1322]

if those guys r bums i would hate to see who u consider stars... but anyway going with hometown corey hart as well gl all

[soxwin]

the flop festival that featured 1 goal in 119 minutes did nothing to win new fans over. I was at a sports bar where many people were watching soccer obviously for the 1st time. At the beginning of the match, there were 15 out of the 30 tv's were on the match. By the 2nd half there were 5 tv's on it. That is all you need to know right there.

[tyloxx420]

Not thrilled about the names this year. Gl with ur bets though.

[Junkyard Dog]

taking a stab with holliday

[landers781]

For homeruns? AL Cabrera is fine but what about Guerero and Hamilton and league leading Bautista or Youk? NL Votto, Dunn Pujols...I guess since its a homerun derby the top 4 in homers should be in

[milwaukee mike]

al i already posted who i considered more marketable/more fun to watch

pujols
fielder
ryan howard
vladimir guerrero

anyone thinking this field is anything close to watching juiced up bonds/mcgwire/sosa/giambi, griffey jr, etc go at it is crazy
kind of like having to watch nate robinson and dwight howard in the slam dunk contest when we should get kobe/lebron/wade - good old days had jordan/dr j/dominique

[Chi_archie]

Not sure if i'm even gonna bet on anyone this year

[Unicorn7]

at the rate this is going, they may as well cancel this event. Bunch of average players taking batting practice

[SouthBayGame]

Tough call, Hart would be my choice if I had to wager.

I like the derby better than non USA world cup games
