HR Derby

[VOLNBAMA]

I don't if i'm the only one but i'm excited about this year's HR Derby, there are big names in it and should be cool in Yankee Stadium. Maybe we could have a prediction game with it. The competitors are:

Justin Morneau - myrobbins7 - Winner
Grady Sizemore
Evan Longoria - doozer
Josh Hamilton - Business, vols kick balls, Volsguy12
Chase Utley - VolFirebirds
Dan Uggla
Lance Berkman - UTLCA, OrangeEmpire
Ryan Braun - VOLNBAMA


I will go with Braun.

 

[Business]

Hamilton.

 

[myrobbins7]

It should be a good one, i'll take Morneau.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

hopefully it will be better than last year's because it was terrible.

 

[vols kick balls]

Got to go with the Lefty Hamiltion. Hamilton has the sweetest swing in baseball right now. Hamilton is the best batting practice hitter I have ever seen. He really puts on a show.

 

[doozer]

what a week for Evan Longoria.

you go from planning to meet your buddies for the break in Las Vegas to not only being voted into the game but now competing in the HR Derby.

He also has his old North Carolina (Cary) Legion coach pitching to him. My roomate used to play for Cary Legion and said this cat can put the ball on a tee, everytime.
