The Troll Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Now I guess we'll see if the theory "Ichiro could hit home runs if he wanted to" is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Now I guess we'll see if the theory "Ichiro could hit home runs if he wanted to" is true. Just had this discussion with a friend and said the same exact thing. We always hear that he could go deep if he wanted to (and I think he can) but now we get to see him try to tee off.

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 And why did MLB decide to pull a play out of the NHL (Cough Cough Hack Gulp Cough) playbook with this "World" HR Derby? If it is a double contest there's NO WAY anyone touches Pudge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 They should have done a Roids versus No-Roids home run derby. It could have been Giambi-Bonds-Sheff-Troy Glaus-Pudge and Juan Gonzalez versus Ichiro-Jose Reyes-Scott Posednik-David Eckstein-Joey Cora and Juan Pierre. The rules would be the "Roids" team would have to hit it beyond 450 feet while the non-Roids team would have to bump it out of the infield, or as we like to call it, "hit a Jeter shot."

Jetfanmack Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 USA: Teixeira Netherlands: Andruw Jones ? Dominican Republic: Ortiz Venezuela: Abreu Canada: Bay Puerto Rico: Pudge Panama: Carlos Lee They need one more. They never asked Ichiro to join yet, but since he's the only Japanese player on the all star teams, he'll probably be asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 part of me doesnt like this, i think there should be multiple players from the same country if they wanna be in it imagine if this was 3-4 years ago and we had to choose between McGwire, Bonds and Giambi. all 3 of those mutants would be from the same country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I think Teixeira has a good chance at winning because he is a lefty, and isn't the detroit stadium right field fence closer than the left field fence? EBs notes 1. No way Pudge is winning 2. I didn't know that Bud Selig allowed canadiens to even be on MLB rosters, let alone compete in the summer classic home run derby 3. Bobby Abreu will not win 4. Andruw Jones sweet swing has a great chance 5. Carlos Lee has a great chance 6. Big Foot will not come close to winning, frickin gorilla 7. Where is Griffey?

Jetfanmack Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 that lazy little bastard, why the F#ck did he drop out? He was never in it. From what I read, they were considering asking him because Matsui wasn't in the all star game. Either they never asked him, or Ichiro declined.

vanDoug Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 EBs notes 2. I didn't know that Bud Selig allowed canadiens to even be on MLB rosters, let alone compete in the summer classic home run derby Correct. montreal canadiens are not allowed on any MLB rosters. However, several non-hockey playing Canadians are on MLB rosters. :wink: d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 If the derby was made specifically for the ability to hit doubles, then Pudge would blow the competition away. Only problem is he's not much of a home run hitter, so should be interesting to see how he does. They need to bring in Mickey Tettleton as a surprise participant. My money is on Teixeira this year. Teixeira and Lee in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
