    Seriously.

    Why can't they just give the little kids a hat?!?!?
  • Laley23
    Give me Matt Kemp tonight. Just a hunch.
  • wildcats20
    I like Weeks. Especially because I heard a Reds pitcher would be throwing to him.
  • wildcats20
    Gotta love Cal.

    The announcing and overall production of this is pretty tough to watch.

    As does McCutcheon
  • Laley23
    Granderson might be the most well spoken athlete (or famous person in general) I have ever heard speak/give opinions/analyze. He is awesome.
  • Midstate01
    This derby blows so far. Prince needs to hit about 10 and then save some for the next round.
  • wildcats20
    Where did that first HR land for Prince?? Holy shit.
