Barton Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Lets hear what the JN people have to say Contestants are: Andruw Jones Bobby Abreu David Ortiz Carlos Lee Ivan Rodriguez Hee-Seop Choi Jason Bay Mark Teixeira I think Andruw Jones will win. That swing was meant to hit home runs. Teixeira would be my 2nd guess, because he can just flat out rake the ball. Players with no chance to win IMO: Ivan Rodriguez, Bobby Abreu and David Oritz.

stormshadow19 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Pudge will win Ok, this may be the home run derby that the winner has 5. Comerica park is the hardest park to hit homers in. You just don't hit good homers there, unless you get ahold of it. You barely make it out. You make it to the bullpen, and that's it. That being said, if anyone hits the walk way, or hits it up on top of the fountain (neither of which have ever been done, hell, no one has hit the wall in the left field seats before) the place will blow up. The fans will be out of control. It's never been done. It should make for an intresting contest, just to see if they can do it. But, the way they did it is just plain dumb, and who they picked aren't all that great, either. It's just not a star studded line up. A changing of the guard, I suppose. Why did Canada get a rep anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet/BosoxFan Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 am I too late to offer my pick? since TomShane already took "boredom" I am going to go with "who gives a rats ass" which slightly edged out some very tight competiton from "who gives a sh*t" and "who gives a flying f*ck" Nice effort from Jason Bay! Zero homers!!! Has that ever happened before? No Pirates should be allowed anywhere near any kind of all star game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 damn, I didn't think Irod would have had a chance, I know I'm not the only person that felt this way. I shoulda know about Abreu, he has one sweet swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
