I'll be cheering for Jason Bay, Korean fans will be cheering for Choi, the Dutch will be crowding around their TV sets cheering Andruw Jones etc. This is a great way to promote this internationally popular Olympic ....wait a sec

Nice one Mookie ;-D

. No one else seemed to catch it though. ;-)

As to the derby, it's all Selig's fault yet again I'm sure. New format is horrible. They definitely could have ended up with better power hitters than what wound up on the field. :-/

Hmmm we don't have the best power hitters in baseball, but the most homers in a derby ever.....not even that good of a park to hit in...

3 1/2 hours... that's absurd. They used to bang these things out in the early to mid-90's in like an hour and a half. Chop the later rounds back down to 5 outs. Jeez. :-*

It got boring pretty quick I think because it was stretched out for 3+ hours and the guys I rooted for just sucked. The softball game is fun to watch though. :-D

You know the softball game sucks when John Secada is the biggest celebrity.

WEAK :-t

The Spanish broadcast made the HR derby sound a lot more exciting (except for Jason Bay - even they couldn't make a ground out in a HR derby sound exciting).

I heard some of it on the radio this morning, good stuff. ;-D

Anyone else who heard it picture the Simpsons episode with the soccer team and the hispanic commentators going nuts over nothing? :-D
