July 4, 200422 yr Does anyone know whose going to be in the Homerun Derby? Are they going to announce it on the selection show? 440446[/snapback] usually we know the weekend before.
July 5, 200422 yr For the HR Derby, the contestants are usually the top 3-5 in HR at break in AL and NL. Sometimes the players opt not to do it regardless of their rank, like Bonds and Sosa last year I think. Would like to see Giambi, but if that's how they choose, by the ranking at break, then I can forget about Giambino this year.
July 5, 200422 yr i say in the NL Pujols Cabs Griffey(maybe) Sosa Bonds(if he wants) 440484[/snapback] The fact that you don't have the major league leader in homeruns is beyond me.
July 5, 200422 yr I would like to see: Sosa Thome Cabs Blalock Guerrero Ramirez - Bond tried a year or two ago and sucked ass. - I think Griffey and Pujols feel that they are too good to compete on the Derby

July 5, 200422 yr Okay, Thanks 440450[/snapback] i doubt cabs will be on the all-star team period. so he wont be there
July 5, 200422 yr Okay, Thanks 440450[/snapback] i doubt cabs will be on the all-star team period. so he wont be there 440716[/snapback] You haven't been paying attention, have you? He's on the team.
July 5, 200422 yr Okay, Thanks 440450[/snapback] i doubt cabs will be on the all-star team period. so he wont be there 440716[/snapback] He is genius. :banghead
July 5, 200422 yr Okay, Thanks 440450[/snapback] i doubt cabs will be on the all-star team period. so he wont be there 440716[/snapback] dude look at the pic in my sig
July 5, 200422 yr Dude, i dont want Cabs screwing up his swing just for this...I'd rather him not join it.
July 5, 200422 yr Cabrera is a rising star I really would like to see him get in on the action Cabrera IS the next Pujols, A-Rod, whatever you want to call him
July 5, 200422 yr Cabrera is a rising star I really would like to see him get in on the action Cabrera IS the next Pujols, A-Rod, whatever you want to call him 440789[/snapback] I have a problem when people say that he is the next Pujols or ARod. Who has the rings? He is Cabrera, and he is what is next.
July 5, 200422 yr Dude, i dont want Cabs screwing up his swing just for this...I'd rather him not join it. 440787[/snapback] let the kid has fun. who knows, if he puts a good show that may motivate him to keep it going on the second half.
July 5, 200422 yr wow, i totally missed that. that came out of no-where. sorry, ive been out of civilization scince early yesterday :confused
July 5, 200422 yr I'll take Pujols as of now since he will obviously be in there, although if Adam Dunn ends up taking Casey's spot on the NL Roster and gets himself into the Home Run Derby, I'll take Dunn. That man just kills the ball...
July 5, 200422 yr I would like to see: Sosa Thome Cabs Blalock Guerrero Ramirez - Bond tried a year or two ago and sucked ass. - I think Griffey and Pujols feel that they are too good to compete on the Derby 440641[/snapback] Pujols and Griffey think they are too good for the contest? I wouldn't be surprised if they are the first two to say yes. Now Barry the Princess on the other hand.....
July 5, 200422 yr Last night during the Sox-Cubs game they showed the sluggers who had already agreed to participate. I don't remember the full list, but Bonds, Griffey, Sosa and Manny were on it.
July 5, 200422 yr I heard Sosa, Palmeiro, Griffey, Thome, Giambi and Vlady as 6 of the 8.... Maybe Manny and Barry were the other too. Who knows
