MLB 2010 - The Second - B. Wood struck out swinging

[U2DMfan]

He's not a Hall of Famer to me, brother. Not even...

Chipper? Yes.

 

[the tourist]

I don't think he's a first ballot unless he claws to 500.

 

[Hewson]

There's no way he gets in.

400 HR is not regarded the same as it was a generation ago.

His career BA is .256, including the last 4 seasons being .222, .158, .214 and .210. He hit over .300 for a season only once.

A couple of monster seasons during the height of the steroids era does not a hall of fame career make.

 

[phanan]

I don't think he gets in even if he sticks around long enough to hit 500 homers. Too many bad years.

The Cubs must have thought they were in the playoffs, getting swept by the Dodgers again like that.

Home Run Derby about to begin in "the house that Dick Wood built."

Hey now! 3/4 does not a sweep, make.

 

[Imperor]

Kill yourself, Chris Berman.

 

[No spoken words]

Kill yourself, Chris Berman.

You will likely think that I'm exaggerating, but he is 100% of the reason why I have not watched the Derby since 1998.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

There's literally nothing else on TV, which is most of the percent of the reason I'm watching. The commentary is atrocious. But I wanted to see the Swish knock a few out. And was curious how Hanley and Cabrera would do. Hanley looks to be killing it so far. No surprise.

 

[Got Philk?]

Last year was awful...the way he kept listing all kinds of Michigan cities every time someone hit a home run. Really annoying.

He hit that one all the way to Kalamazoo!!!

 

[Imperor]

It's bad enough that the Derby is reaching WNBA levels of boredom inducement, but Berman's shtick just makes it insulting. The Legends/Celebs softball game is more fun to watch at this point.

One of my very favorite athletes growing up. Nice to see him...alive.

Not a lot of fun to lose Bob Sheppard and then the Boss this close to one another.

I hope there is a nice All Star game tribute for both. Too bad.

 

[gump]

RIP, Boss.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The Boss is a dude from New Jersey with a Telecaster who sings about the workingman and travels with a giant black saxophonist.

The man who died today is THE BIG STEIN!

I'm sure there will be something.
