Pro's and Con's of tonight's Homerun Derby

The night was filled with some great moments, mostly at the expense of other's, so let's review:

Pro: Joe Morgan alomost getting hit from homerun by Ryan Howard
Con: Almost....

Pro: Boomer using the pop-culture reference "who let the dog's out" when discussing David Ortiz's blast
Con: back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back....

Pro: White Sox great Willie Harris being mentioned
Con: T. Walk not begin mentioned

Pro: Watching guy getting facialized by an oar
Con: Guy not retaliating with his oar

Pro: Bonnie Berstein
Con: No player's bringing Berstein back to the clubhouse for a little extra TLC between at-bats

Pro: Outfielder flashing more leather than the entire Cubs team (except T. Walk)
Con: That same jagoff robbing David Wright's homerun...+ pocketing ball = loud, obnoxious booing by Pittsburgh fans

Pro: David Wright getting censored by ESPN 5 times for dropping the F-bomb
Con: ESPN not censoring the pre-game country music....country music in Pittsburgh....what the fuck!?!?!?!

Pro: former Brewer Mark Loretta interviewed by Bonnie
Con: Where's former Brewer Greg Vaughn?

Pro: Red Sox rook Papelbon admitting to dropping 100,000 on Ortiz winning the Derby on national TV
Con: Lost 100,000 and this gives Selig a way to divert public attention from the steroid scandal...

Pro: Ortiz spitting on his hands
Con: Should have used Moises Alou's extra- grip sticum

Pro: Boomer talking about Gaylord Perry and "wet balls"
Con: Boomer talking about wet balls

Overall, the Derby was a blast...about time there was some excitment in the world of sports and this was all a pre-cursor to tomorrow's festivities, including the celebrity all-star softball game...watch for Nick Lacey as my pick to click.
