Goddamit lol

[Stangstag]

The winner is going to be either Alvarez or Davis. Those guys just have crazy power.

I want Alvarez to win if the NL is winning..... which I hope isn't the case

[flafson]

I want Davis.

[HERPDERP]

This will probably be one of the most low-scoring derbies of all time.

[fatcowxlive]

Are you kidding? More Raw power than last year. Davis, Cano, Cespedes, Fielder, Harper, and Alvarez all have MAD raw-homer power. Cuddyer and Wright not so much. Much better than last year.

[theblujay]

Fatcow, know of any links to this?

[fatcowxlive]

Fatcow, know of any links to this?

 

Not yet, all I know is that ESPN3 is streaming, but to my knowledge, that needs a subscription

[Jays]

i say i want harper to win but i think it's coming down to prince and davis with Prince winning it.

Just because you don't know half of the players this year doesn't mean they will suck.

[fatcowxlive]

It looks like that we'll have to take an 'unofficial' stream instead of one from the MLB tonight. No link in sight except from ESPN3

[G-Snarls]

Here's the scoop on Bautista:

 

@ShiDavidi: Jose Bautista on why he's not in HR derby: “The team requested for me not to participate and I granted their request." #BlueJays

 

@ShiDavidi: More Bautista: "They felt like this was the right move & once they expressed that interest I agreed with them & decided to sit this one out"

[digiblader]

Considering the HR Derby caused his wrist injury last year, it's not surprising the Jays didn't want him doing it.

[Angrioter]

Pedrito Alvarez will win

[Abomination]

I want Prince to win it, or at least be in the final round. Something absolutely awe inspiring about the shots he hits.

[fatcowxlive]

Where's the goddamn link bro?

 

 

Here it is.... I think! The Pregame show is on now! http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?topic_id=50892708&content_id=28775413

[dineke]

Chris Davis vs Harper in the finals.

[fatcowxlive]

Pedrito Alvarez will win

 

I love the 2nd duo. Cespedes and Alvarez, Cuban vs. Dominican lol

[TheHurl]

You should have done a GDT for Sportsnet Magazine's Beauty of Sport show as at least I'm watching it. Romero's woman is hosting so it's got a Bison's angle to it.

Kara Lang...it's alright we can just discuss it here. GDT's take up enough bandwidth

The footballer?? She's f***ing hot! Why does Romero still have control problems?

 

I just came home and tuned into the end.... Why did I have to miss that?

And he's still crying about Rima?

 

I think he has control problems because he is.... 'Self conscious' about something lol

[fatcowxlive]

Romero has serious mental problems

 

You would think Lang would solve his problems... The dude is seriously self conscious

[havok24]

lol this organization has some real personalities alright.

[Dylan]

I'm more excited for this year's HR derby than previous years, even with jays being involved.

[dineke]

I don't think the loss of Miss USA is why Romero's career went into the tank but if so, he's a real pussy.
