Remember, Josh Suchon will be at Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica, from 5-8 pm, during the Home Run Derby, signing copies of Miracle Men.

Wow, damn near full house at Citi Field tonight. I'm not a big HR Derby fan. I'll be watching the whole thing and having strong opinions, nonetheless.

MR.F said...

Twitter tells me that a Chris Berman-free HR derby is availalble on ESPN Deportes.

Dusty Baker said...

Dan Plesac, how is Pedro Alvarez a dark horse to win it? Most people, like, know who he is and what he can do and some have picked him to win.

Dusty Baker said...

At Mr F

Is there a Pit Bull free option?

Steve Sax said...

NYT had a big article Sunday on how the Mets exploited their season ticket base to get the opportunity to attend the all-star festivities. If it's a packed house, know that it's packed with very spendy people.

Dusty Baker said...

Full of Mutts, indeed.

Dusty Baker said...

Two HR calls and I'm already done w Berman.

Dusty Baker said...

Princess takes 5 out of the Yard, including a couple of massive ones.

Steve Sax said...

Has Yasiel Puig won yet?

Dusty Baker said...

@Sax

Kershaw bats next.

Dusty Baker said...

Cuddyer puts up a a 7 spot.

Dusty Baker said...

Cespedes - jesus christ he's hit some bombs.

Dusty Baker said...

Two third decks so far from Cespedes.

Dusty Baker said...

Watching HR Derby feels like watching Brandon League pitch in relief.

Dusty Baker said...

Ceapedes leaves 4 in the top shelf. 17 for him.

MR.F said...

So when Puig comes up to bat, League will be pitching to him, right?

Dusty Baker said...

P Alvarez in w 6.

BJ Killeen said...

This just in: all HR hitters will be tested for PHDs after the contest.

In other news. Puig would have kicked their butts.

Still in other news, I'm protesting and not watching.

MR.F said...

PHD's? So Cespedes didn't defect, but is actually on a student visa?

Dusty Baker said...

Update:

Out getting hammered and watching without WiFi.

Cespedes - if Puig is Cuban Jesus, Cespedes is Cuban Father or Holy Ghost.

Cespedes on Puig and home run derby: "Not to be disrespectful but .. this is not the type of competition he would be able to excel at."

Dusty Baker said...

Say whaaat, Cespedes? What?

QuadSevens said...

I turned this on when Piazza was there with Berman. Those two were just talking about the good old days and couldn't care less about the bombs being hit in front of them.

Dusty Baker said...

187 on Cespedes. I'm calling it.

QuadSevens said...

Possibly Chris Davis too. Had a ripped callus on his palm.
