Tonight is the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium and I'll be live-glogging it here at Walkoff Walk while I keep ESPN on mute. Heck, they'll have 20 consarn cameras and some of that super slow-motion replay nonsense, so why do I need to listen to Chris Berman, Steve Phillips, and Joe Morgan blathering on incessantly? So cancel your dinner plans, put the kids in their cages, and set the DVR ...

A Few Notes an Hour Into the HR Derby

And if I am leading with that, you can imagine I find the first 4 hitters rather unremarkable.
However, it does appear that Laverne swallowed Shirley...
And Ariel was not impressed with Joe Morgan's choice of duds.

Maybe you're an NL fan that wants to see Evan Longoria and J osh Hamilton in action, or an AL fan that's curious if Dan ...

A Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory
So Josh Hamilton hits 35 home runs, way more than anyone else. If you're gonna have a home run derby, give it to the person who hits the most home runs.

Hamilton was down to his last out, and his old guy pitcher threw a white ball by mistake. ...

Hi I'm Rick Reilly. I work for ESPN now and they put me on television instead of just leaving me in print. You might notice me from my appearance helping Berman and Joe Morgan announce the home run derby. Yes, I was attempting to make a lot of jokes and be Mr. Funny Guy. Yes, I acted like a complete ass and my joke about Mark McGwire was more played out than Omar Vizquel. Additionally, how ...
