That was awesome! I dont know what was better, Pujols sucking on his own turf. Prince beating Pujols on his own turf or Prince winning when the announcers kept talking shit about Prince and how his swing was too erratic and he would get too tired. He looked to be the least tired out of them all and was dropping bombs. So fuck off to who ever the announcer was not giving Prince any respect. They almost seemed disappointed when he won. Hence another reason why I hate Sports Center.
Nice work Prince that was great to see.

Prince is a fun dude to watch. He should make a great DH for the Yankees in 2011.
By the way, is any sports production more unwatchable than the Home Run Derby? It's worse than the Emmies, for fuck's sake. Shut up and move this thing forward, d-bags!
The HR derby is about the dumbest thing in the world. The fact that Steve Philips and Joe Morgan announce it makes me want to stab myself in the ear drum.
Joe- "I dont know if he can take 10 more swings, he really looks tired"
Steve- "When I was GM I really looked for guys that could generate power from the lower body"
Berman- "Back, Back, Back, Gone!!!!"
Literally this is all it is for like four hours. I will admit Hamilton's display last year was cool, but give me a fucking break do they really need ten competitors and make this thing last for 5 hours. Plus do they need 8 million kids running around on the field? TK I am glad I am not the only one that turned this shit off after about 10 minutes.
I missed it, but when someone told me Prince won, my response was, "so what'd he do? Eat the other players?"
My favorite part is when Josh Howard takes about 9 pitches without swinging, then takes one swing, then takes another 8 pitches, then takes another swing, then takes another 9 pitches.
It actually moves a lot slower than a full baseball game.
Anonymous, awesome comment. I see what you're doing there. Prince is kind of fat, so you're mocking that. Tremendously clever. I anxiously await what you will come up with in second grade.
When I said that was awesome obviously I was speaking to Prince and his masterful skills at hitting things long distances. Definetley not the broadcast that was painful to watch. I would like someone to explain to me why C. Berman was announcing the HRD. Wait better yet why does he still have a job at all. He is or should I say was as pointless to a broadcast and maybe even more blubberingly annoying than John Madden.
My second question, to make it fair why dont they just have a pitching machine and give them like 35 cuts. That is it tie goes to the total number of feet you hit the ball. That is why they take so many pitches, waiting for a decent one, than they swing at the next one. Hoping it is the same pitch. In my opinion the Hitter with the most consistent pitcher is probably going to win.
Any way yeah the Derby needs to be re-formatted to like an hour and a half. And they need to let the Sklar Bros. host it next year. I would listen to those guys go on for hours.
Oh and yeah anonymous when you totally took the left turn on that joke (joke of a comment) I almost shot milk through my nose. I thought you were going to say "so what he do sit on all the players?" But you totally took it in a way funnier direction. I dont blame you for posting that anonymous. Probably going to save you from a bunch of third graders breaking down your email wanting you to write jokes for them.
Wow maybe his name should be Prince Hitter! Third grade enough for you.
Definitely, you've upped the intelligence level to solid third grade - easily. His name is Fielder, but he's better known for hitting than fielding. I see what you did there. Well done. Unfortunately, as clever as it is, it's not funny. The gains in cleverness are off-set by a loss of humor. Don't give up. I'm seeing real progress.
