Home Run Derby? Missed it. By choice.
Already planning to miss Derby 2010, too.
Based on past experience, watching sluggers bash baseballs a long way is mildly entertaining for a few minutes. When one takes ESPN's absurdly serious treatment of the event into the account, well, unwatchable and gag-inducing are the adjectives that leap to mind.
I mean, why not just have Boomer Berman do straight play-by-play of putt-putt golf?
"Oh no! Here comes the windmill blade now!"
i agree this whole "the season is half over" thing is boring and wrong...i quit watching any of it in 1984...so i am 25 years of dumb baseball free..
ReplyDeletecut the season in half and make the all star game matter and i would be happy...i just started looking at the stats...i may watch a whole game this weekend...maybe
I just said this very thing to hubby last night. It was fun watching the Derby the first few years but now it's ho hum same ole same ole. They need a new formula, a new announcer.....hell, somethin' different! Or, put it to bed. ~Belle
