OT - Home Run Derby... AKA a waste of time without a drinking game...
This is so dumb. But I'm watching it. And drinking. Drinking game rules?
Kemp hits a HR, because he's going to win.
Oops.
Easy rule/game:
Every time Chris Berman makes you want to hit a puppy, drink. If you're alive before the end of the first round (approximately 3 am, Thursday) you win.
flabbergasted at the fact that Chris Berman was calling the home run derby, seriously wtf. That was terrible.
"State Farm" = 1 drink
Regular Home Run = 1 Drink
475' Plus Home Run = 2 Drink
Gold Ball Home Run = 3 Drink
Sitting at Bastone and the tv is on mute, so I drink when I want
Besides, it seems like every year someone hits an amazing amount of home runs to get to the finals, and then is so tired that he can't do shit in the finals and loses. A player is almost better off doing just enough to move on in the first round.
First obligatory "Gatorade break." Jeez, this thing has gotten terrible.
if Berman says Back, back back back
Better yet, drink for every back he says...
thats how we did it in college
Drink if your TV is on.
Gah. Dumbest sporting event in America? I'd like to hear of one dumber.
he was a great safety. Here's hoping one of our guys can turn out like that (MRob.and Carvin.... I'm looking at you).
That's certainly up there, but at least it is a football game. This is like if we set aside a whole evening just to watch quarterbacks have a "who can throw the ball the furthest?" contest.
NBA All Star Game. The derby is just a tradition, and it makes no attempt to suggest it's significant in any way.
I'd like to see if players can control on where he hit the ball. Basically target hitting. If he hits in a certain area of target, he get certain amount of points depending on the area. Bullseyes are worth more. They get 12-15 swings. The targets are placed all over the outfield.
Just my random thoughts on how to change things up to make it exciting or at least interesting.
put on a hell of a show.
Also, hell of a catch by that kid out in CF.
So are you guys saying I'm lucking out by being forced to watch the Bachelorette instead of the HR derby?
Based on previous editions...
If you're going to get laid later, I'd say you made the right choice. And even if you have to pound one out yourself, you still made the right choice.
As I'm messing around on MGoBlog next to my fiance watching the bachelorette, it gave me great satisfaction showing her your post. Glad to know I'm not missing much.
This is the first episode I've seen in approximately 4 years. I'm still unsure how they can turn each episode into a two hour show. This couldn't drag out any longer.
Its become a joke. The all-star game has ten bizillion players on the roster half don't play at all. The rest that do play 1 inning before going to the bench. Before hand we watch the MLB's out shape players a.k.a. sluggers hit slow pitch while sipping gatorade.
call it. Either home run or out. Non-swings don't count.
If you're wrong you drink. If you're right you're friend does.
then alternate
Secret Life of an American Teenager was on. Anything interesting happen in the Derby? A few home runs perhaps? Some friends become enemies, enemies become friends?
Anyone remember Ken Griffey baseball for the super nintendo? That game was the bomb. The HR derby mode was awesome too.
In season mode, I used to trade for all the best players by just swapping 3 guys for 1, then signing the 2 guys the other team released off the wavier wire and trading them and eventually building your way up to an all star team
That game was great. There was a cheat where Griffey would hit a homer if he made contact. I would always do it and laugh as he bunted a home run

I thought it was up up down down left right left right B A Select Start
you must be over thirty to get this reference... and have played contra.
I got it at 26, and of course played contra
I can beat Contra without the Konami Code. HA!
i shoulda got the reference.
played contra a bunch of times... forgot about that one.
My brother and I are playing it as a prediction game. We each make a guess before each player hits as to how may he will end up with. Drink once for every homer we were short/over. Also, any ball over 500 ft. we chug a beer. Every time that douchey teenager acts like a hero when he makes a catch we do a shot of tequila. Long night ahead.
A few years back, my buddies an I did a shot of beer for every home run. It was also the year Hamilton went yard like 20+ times in a row. I was ready to fist fight my dad.
drink drink drink drink drink wasted!
Baseball is beyond awful. I wish it would just go away. Anyone else want to fight Chris Berman in a cage match?
"BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK....GONE!" So annoying. Why am I watching?
I agree 100% with the hoerun competition and Chris Berman, but I love baseball. This is just a sham though. Don't knock the sport just because of a gimmick that happens once a year.
Drink every time you are bored out of your mind. I would have made it through the first batter (maybe).
Has Inge hit yet?
Did you know that today is the only day all year where there are absolutely ZERO sports games on? No WNBA, MLB, etc.
Hahahaha: the WNBA isn't a SPORT.
You don't like women's athletics. That's fine, but keep that opinion to yourself or risk the wrath of the Board.
