12:05 stupid red team. Im gonna go to bed, i have to be up at 6 for work. ttyl ppl.
11:27 Celebrity Softball is the shit! Nely is an absolute BEAST and unfortunately a Backstreet Boy is a redsox fan. Joe and I have 5 bucks on the game. He has Red and i have Blue
11:02 Fielder Wins! I win $15 and 2 bowlpacks. I offered Joe double or nothing on celeb softball. We will have to look at teams before we decide. For now, its time for more sour.
10:35 Fielder Swings and Misses! Hehehe. But he hits enough to KO Howard including a 503 foot JACK! That eliminates the competition between my friends and I. I won the most HR in First Round, Longest HR, Most combined HR by team, and Winner of Derby. I lost the least HR in First Round bet. Its good for a cool $15 and 2 bowlpacks. Lets take a break smoke up and wait for celebrity softball!
10:29 Cruz hits 5 HRs and guarantees himself a spot in the finals. If Fielder can come through and advance than its over.
10:19 Howard manages 8 Hr for 15 total. Fielder and Cruz need to get 4 to force a Bat Off and 5 to advance. 3 of Howards HRs came on the charity ball. its gonna be interesting now.
10:10 Howard hits one after 2 misses. he needs to nail 4 + whatever Fielder/Cruz hit.
10:07 Pujols puts up a respectable 6 but it probably wont be enough to advance.
10:00 Not only does Pujols have to hit first after just hitting which will probably lower his second round score due to fatigue but the two top scorers have to wait upwards of 2 hours too hit for the second time which will lower their totals due to stiffness/long wait. Why are we hitting based on HR totals and not Rd 1 order? I get that Fielder/Cruz deserve to see how many they need to hit, thats their advantage for winning RD 1 but i think everyone involved would rather just hit in the same order and everyones scores would rise.
9:55 Round 1 Summary
Cruz 11
Fielder 11
Howard 7
Pujols 5 (2)
Pena 5 (1)
Mauer 5 (0)
Gonzalez 2
Inge 0
The two hitters after round 2 with the highest COMBINED HR total will advance to the RD 3 slugfest. Hopefully Howard wont be able to overcome his 4 HR deficit and i will be freerolling the Final Round.
9:51 Theyre predicting another Bat off! IDK, i think Pujols is gonna be able to get 2 outa here. His first round was just a warm up job. Misses on a liner to the outfield. 4 swings left. GET OUT! Boom! Pujols jacked one with 3 swings left. And theres another one. He nails 2 and the bat offs over! Pujols adances to round 2 and i have drafted 3 of final 4.
9:50 WTF Bat off = 5 swings, not 5 outs! Even Fooled the announcers. I cant say i hate that rule. Will definitely make the bat off be short and sweet to save time for commercials. Mauer's up now and needs to hit 1 HR to possibly advance. Hes o/3 with 2 more chances. He misses a reallllly close one and now doesnt have the chance to get hot and take the lead with only one swing left. He doesnt push it out and eliminates himself with 0 HRs.
9:46 Pena Bat off time. hes taking a ton of pitches while McNulty fails at pitching as much as he fails at planting evidence and creating crimes that dont exist. He might get frustrated and just hit one into the ground here. Muscles out a close one. He ends with only that one HR and the announcers mention that he might have been frustrated and just trying to swing the bat. Hehe, I called that one :)
9:42 Pujols hits 2 in the 10th out to force a 3 way tie for 4th place. We will have a batoff with only one of the competitiors on my team. This is big. If pujols can take it here and movee on I will have 3 of the final 4. If Pena or Mauer can get hot i will have only 2 of the 4 and be missing my #1 pick
9:39 Pujols is having a real slow rd 1 with only 3 HRs, one of which needed some help from the fans. Lets see some charity magic!
9:28 Mauer hits 5 HRs and likely will not advance to the next round. here comes Pujols and hopefully will hit 6 or more HRs. In other news congrats to Dr. Pauly who came in 13th in a Dream Team poker tourny while his team nabbed first prize for a sweet 33k. Gogo having a life while covering the WSOP! Furthermore, gogo Phil Ivey who afaik is stillll in the Main Event!
9:19 Howard has a really big second half and knocks out 7 to eke out pena. Im looking pretty good in my bets. Sorry im posting less and less. Just wanna sit back and wath. so stoned.
9:07 Pena hits 5 and im officially high.
8:58 Pena is up and the announcers are actually commenting. "His stance is up in the box, a conventional approach" Thank you all for doing your jobs and sorry i spazzed at Joe Buck. Im sorry.
8:50 GTFO Joe Buck. No one likes you. Go fuck yourself. See? You come on the HR Derby and talk to the announcers and what do we talk about? Your dad. Cuz we hate you. Plz leave. And Gonzalez pushes one over on his 7th swing. Gonzalez sits down with 2. He doesnt even get a mention from the announcers as he finishes his turn becuase theyre too distracketed with Joe Buck. Thanks for doing your job and talk about the people hitting instead of Joe, im a POS, Buck. Thought i had a chance to push the least bet.
In other news, sour diesel is a wonderful thing.
8:48 Inge cant manage to muscle one out of the park. Woulda been nice to see him at least get a jack or two out of the charity-ball but it veers foul. :( Looks like joe has got the "least HRs" category locked up and i can only hope for a chop. I guess id rather root to get a ton of HRs to freeroll the team combined category and try to get more hitters into rd 2 and 3.
8:36 Fielder starts off great w/ 4 jacks before his second out and then slows down for a lil. He asks his pitcher to throw it lower and promptly crushes the ball hitting it 497ft to right center. Hits his first gold ball and....a second....and cant get a third to end at 11. the black guy picked prince to win it! Hes the guy who i was absolutely hoping to fall to 4th in both of my drafts. Howard is the obvious second pick and i was just hoping to get fielder to fall. Lets hope he can keep it up in later rounds. As we go to commercial, would you readers rather have Pujols/x or Fielder/Howard on you team? x = Pena/Gonzalez.
8:26pm Cruz smashes 11 including one at 475 feet. He hit one into the upper upper deck and at least one into the upper deck. Decent start. IDK, but i would assume that the distance meter measures how far a HR travels til it stops in the stands. I know that with the upper deck shots these balls would def continue flying if there were no seats there. I guess this is a mutual disadvantage.
8:19pm Nelson Cruz is my boy! idk if i want him to hit a bunch of HRs or try to lock up the lowest number in rd 1 category....Scratch that, he just hit 3. this could get interesting. His longest to date is 449 feet. That wont stand.
8:16pm Albert takes about 5 pitches and hits a popup. Takes another 5 pitches and hits another popup. ugh. This could be a long night for my #1 pick. Hope hes just getting warmed up.
Ozzie smith throws out the "first pitch" at the HR derby....wtf? A. It wasnt the first pitch, Albert just saw about 12. B. WTF. that does not seem like a very good honor to me. Give him the first pitch at the all star game imo.
First we got some call your shots goin on, see if albert cant hit some directed HRs.
