Bonds, Adam Dunn and Ichiro aren’t participating, so I’m not interested.
Also, Evan Longoria? Really?
I’m actually sort of excited to see him in this, but I agree, he really shouldn’t be there in the first place.

Hey guys I heard that Josh Hamilton did drugs before is this true?
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
John Kruk was all: “He’s so thankful to put on a uniform each day because HE COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW”
People's lives are ruined daily , this guy survived - and thrives.
I have this running battle with Jim McClennan , the “Grant” of AZ Snakepit over whether to give Hamilton kudos – he’s just down on him and I prop him up.
Read the SI article on Hamilton – while SI articles are usually pretty kissass – and this is no exception – there’s grim reality to deal with. Addiction is for life , and we’re ALL going to know if Hamilton fails. I , for one , hope he never does.

Good for him
there are plenty of other people going through exactly the same thing, they just can’t hit baseballs 500 feet, so somehow their plight is less important.
Srlsy, fuck off, Hamilton. I hope the dude stays off the smack, but I’m sick of having it shoved down my throat.
I'm in a mood tonight

Tim Kurkjian
incredibly douchey

I like Kurkjian, kinda. I love that clip of him talking about the Rangers last year when they scored 30 runs, he’s voice got all squeaky because he was so excited.
30 RUNS!
He has this way of saying things that really irritates me. I can’t explain it. They’ll be showing a clip of a game on BBTN and he’ll say something about one of the players and it’ll just make me want to reach into the television and punch him in the face. AND HE ALWAYS DOES IT.
It’ll be like, so-and-so hits a double and he’ll say, in this really weird condescending voice, “Not many people are noticing, but so-and-so is having a really great year”. If you watch BBTN and listen to what Kurkjian says during the highlights you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Also, he’s obsessed with stupid split stats and random trivia.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Stop watching BBTN, I did!
I just like Kurkjian because he seems like he’s just a dorky fan of the game, not that he ever gives out great information.
this
Kurkjian’s geeky enthusiasm is the absolute best thing about BBTN.
It does not, however, make the show watchable. Thank you John Kruk.

ESPN really sucks now, between TITLE TOWN USA and WHO’S MORE KNOWN and all the silly shit they try to do with brackets, I can’t watch it anymore.
I’ll occasionally throw on Sunday Night Baseball or Monday Night Football, but they’re not really good.
I’m not much of a young person, am I? No real ESPN, no MTV, no VH1, no trashy reality shows. Man, something must be wrong with me.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
No,
something is wrong with TV. I’m a young person, and I watch nothing but live sports, the office, and Top Gear. TV effing sucks now.
Also: ESPN single-handedly ruined the best weekly NFL broadcast the second they took over MNF. SNF w/ Micheals is the new MNF.
Wow, a lot of ESPN hate from me tonight. All that Hamilton sack sucking really wore on me at the gym.
You may not have noticed but this is the last year at Yankee Stadium now here is footage of every game ever played there.

That is pretty neat...

I like how its a combination of different photos from different times
no SS or 3B in the picture
Beckett is throwing a pitch while no one around home plate is ready
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
If they don’t include Bonds’ HR in their “best Yankee Stadium HRs” list, ESPN should blow up. More than usual, I mean.
I get the feeling that ESPN should blow up more than usual
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
I'm at work right now and I wouldn't be watching this even if I could
Despite that, I assume I’m missing a wide variety of people being annoying and fawning over Yankee Stadium.

Oh.
I guess only Yankees have hit home runs in Yankee Stadium. Silly me.
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
Typical Chulk
I’m going to groove a 1st pitch fast ball to Lance Berkman, he won’t swing and hit it 450 feet… This on top of Erstad having a flashback to 2002 and take Walker deep for a 3 run homer. I was there, hot and not happy
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
Fuck Berkman's HR in SF off Chulk
that one makes me want to vomit and they just showed it on ESPN
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
That was actually kind of neat the fireworks at the Rangers walkoff
I wish they would install fireworks around the clock and out of the Coke bottle for walk-off wins or no-hitters or rare celebrations.
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
That would require the Giants winning a game with a walk-off HR, that’s like the two most rare events of this year.
Believe it or not...
It’s been known to happen.
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.

Yes. And he’s also an awful writer who hates Barry Bonds because he wouldn’t grant him an interview request for SI like 12 years ago.
Well he’s a fuckass anyway. The only time I’ve ever seen him on television is when he was yammering about the horses at the Preakness coverage or whatever. He sucked then, as he has always sucked.

He was in 2005, when they did the country format. They did that to generate interest for the upcoming WBC.
He was the only Korean position player in MLB at the time. So he was picked.

I find Grady Sizemore attractive, and I’m a male. I have no problems admitting he’s a good looking dude. I can see why you ladies swoon over him. Not only is he a 5 tool talent, but he has good looks to boot.

lol looks like Hamilton hasn’t tired himself out too much
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Also I very much like Josh Hamilton’s ink.

I know he doesn’t like it, but it looks pretty good.

I googled it and now I feel like a jerk for saying something complimentary about it. :/

Ah well, still a great show. And there’s no person left in the free world who doesn’t believe in this guy now.

Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
They should change it to one round or something, because the second and last rounds ALWAYS suck and are ALWAYS anti-climactic.
And it seems stupid that someone can have the second highest total ever and lose.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Morneau officially gets it, but Hamilton stole the show tonight. That was somehtin else!

Just wanna give a nice big
“FUCK YOU” to ESPN. Morneau wins the damn thing, then they spend the entire post game talking about Josh Hamilton. Wow- 28 HRs in one round. That’s great. That’s also why he lost the fucking derby. But hey- he did drugs! He’s so cool!
BTW, I’m from Minnesota. But not a Twins fan in any way- it just pisses me off how shitty ESPN is all the time now.
Dude, Hamilton was the story of the home run derby.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Sorry
I know that he hit a bunch of HRs a long way, and that he used to do drubadkdakdadkldkandkndkbn, but, IMHO, they should have spent more than 10 seconds on the guy who actually WON the competition.
But whatev, it’s a stupid thing to get angry at. I just don’t like ESPN very much.
ESPN is bullshit, it’s the truth.

Yeah he had the most HOME RUNS
but lost the HOME RUN Derby.
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
True, that's weird,
but dem’s the rules. You don’t waste all your energy on the first round (though I suppose he didn’t know how many he would need).
