[31] Hence clean in quotes. With the steroids issue being what it is, and Pujols’ lack of attention, for lack of a better word, it’s not surprising that MLB wants him to represent the game. He doesn’t present the goofiness of a Manny, the arrogance of a Bonds, or the phoniness of a Rodriguez.

BTW, why this sudden push to make Pujols the front & center face of MLB

Seems pretty obvious to me is that it’s because he’s “clean”

I made it through the first round of the HR Derby. Just wasn’t as exciting this year. The back back back back is old and tired and lame. Berman needs a new call.

BTW, why this sudden push to make Pujols the front & center face of MLB. He’s the best player at the moment, but it just seems forced the way MLB & ESPN are promoting him.

[27] KC Royals are still at it..traded for Betancourt, causing the internet to temporarily shut down due to blogger outrage..

[25] Half of me wants to know, the other half thinks its probably better to just let sleeping dogs lie.

[26] I was never joking. I live in fear that Ponson will be back at any time.

[22] Well things have been quite interesting in your absence, I must admit. But I guess missing the whole Bum Rush brouhaha has its merits, I suppose.

Missed it to, the idea of following HomeRunDerby with Gameday graphics didn’t really zip my zipper..

[21] Billy Cobham! Panama’s second greatest export after Mo the Great!

I missed the contest and Berman’s tired and contrived Schtick. But then again, I wouldn’t say I actually “missed” it.

Instead, I could the Southern League AA All Star Game in B’ham. It was pretty fun despite the 7-0 outcome.

[21] You won’t say that after a week or so. My computer issues are fixed and I should be back regularly again now. You’ll all be sick of me

I think we need Erin Andrews wearing a black leather miniskirt to stroll by Berman in order to get him to shut up.

Back-back-back-back [MUTE]!

[11] I have it on in the background, while I get some work done… but jeez, the first round should not take two hours. I think the Home Run Derby can be fun – Josh Hamilton last year was awesome – but it is not three or four hours’ worth of fun.

Also, I just want to give poor Brandon Inge and his zero home runs a hug.

[14] Art Blakey! A master..

Joe Buck with the ESPN crew..sounds great! Maybe Joe and Steve Phillips can get into why Carlos Beltran is not a winner..

[11] i’m watching!

jeter was interviewed by erin andrews. that was cool.

joe buck was just on with the espn group. that was torturous.

poor brandon inge. didn’t hit one dinger. saw that coming a mile away…

methinks boBBy abreu should do the derby again. i bet it’d knock his power swing back into play!

i saw the cute kid for a second. i think it might be prince fielder’s little boy. always good to start boys with long hair early on! : )

[13] bought the last Art Blakey solo Blue Note cd i needed today! it was cheap. i believe i have ‘em all now! : )
