One of these years, some kid in the outfield is gonna get laid out by a low, hooking line drive.

Seriously, I don't even watch the screen until I hear the announcers making over-hyping noises, because I don't wanna see that poor kid.

i think this proves Kemp shouldn't have participated

Matt Kemp looks like someone who hasn't played baseball in a while.

robsul82		2012-07-09 09:24:14 PM

Kemp finishes with 1. Enjoy the participant ribbon.

kevinatilusa		2012-07-09 09:24:37 PM

A points system? Why not go the whole hog and hire some gymnastics judges for the night?

the sad thing is he has played

RminusQ		2012-07-09 09:24:48 PM

"He gave it a shot and you have to give him credit."
No, you don't.

"There should be a point system."
No there shouldn't. Unless your point system is HR = 1 point, not a HR = 0 points.

I couldn't take it anymore and had to mute the TV. Berman is what they should be playing at Gitmo if they want results.

MugzyBrown		2012-07-09 09:25:54 PM

There's no reason this should take longer than 30 min

He's been rehabing for a while. Can you imagine paying minor league prices to see Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp in a game? Happened a couple times last week. At least he didn't re-hurt himself.

It is kinda BS to see him back for the first time at the AS game.

What_Would_Jimi_Do		2012-07-09 09:30:30 PM

WOW, how classless KC.

thecpt		2012-07-09 09:30:37 PM

Is there something I don't know? Why the hell do they HATE Cano?

stolibro		2012-07-09 09:31:11 PM

I love Royals fans!

/farkcano

robsul82		2012-07-09 09:31:45 PM

Geez, just enjoy your baseball welfare and shut up, KC fans.

Rex_Banner		2012-07-09 09:31:59 PM

They are way more pissed than the D-Backs fans were last year

What_Would_Jimi_Do		2012-07-09 09:33:13 PM

moustakas would have been a better participant than billy butler

SirGeorgeBurkelwitzIII		2012-07-09 09:33:45 PM

Geeze, what do they have against Cano? I like the guy, and it's cool that he has his dad pitch to him.

stolibro		2012-07-09 09:34:26 PM

0-10!!!

Suck it Cano.

RminusQ		2012-07-09 09:34:40 PM

Robinson Can-0.

This is hilarious.

Boooooooooo!

robsul82		2012-07-09 09:35:00 PM

Goose egg for Cano. Laugh it up, enjoy another shiatty season.

SirGeorgeBurkelwitzIII: Geeze, what do they have against Cano? I like the guy, and it's cool that he has his dad pitch to him.

He didn't pick a guy who is currently 16th in the AL in homers and who has never hit more than 21 HR in a season to be in the HR derby

thecpt		2012-07-09 09:35:59 PM

robsul82: Geez, just enjoy your ~~baseball~~ welfare, abortion hating and shut up, KC fans.

made me feel better. My team has to play him 18 times a year and I still like the guy

thecpt: Why the hell do they HATE Cano?

Cause f*ck the Yankees?

TheHopeDiamond		2012-07-09 09:36:35 PM

Oh shut up, announcer guy. Cano probably makes more than every person booing combined. He can suck it up and take it.

/BOOOO!

The only reason anyone ever needs.

The Bestest		2012-07-09 09:37:41 PM

Guy who played 18 hours of baseball over the course of 3 days and until after midnight last night doesn't do well in HR derby. Film at 11.

Hey, you survived the weekend! AND you're talking to me. That's either good or very bad.

I still hate you.

JosephFinn		2012-07-09 09:42:17 PM

Has AJ Pierzynski been allowed to show up and kick Washington in the balls yet?

GW_Diesel		2012-07-09 09:43:36 PM

Cano said he wanted a hometown player (butler) on his team, but when he picked, butler wasn't on the list... rather you agree or not, you know understand why the KC fans boo'd him.

Yanks_RSJ		2012-07-09 09:43:59 PM

robsul82: Goose egg for Cano. Laugh it up, enjoy another shiatty season.

I'd like to congratulate every Royals fan under 27, who just experienced the highlight of their baseball lives.

Dude, youre being trolled by Kansas City. Lighten up, Francis.

george brett has the big poopies in his pants

Zombie Hitler		2012-07-09 09:45:08 PM

God I can't stand Berman.

Zombie Hitler		2012-07-09 09:46:19 PM

He's been waking up at six am "for the past few days". Burn his face on the moon.

OnlineSoldier		2012-07-09 09:46:24 PM

What did Jose Bautista do that drew the ire from the ESPN sportscasters?

Also, Prince hits one 476 and no one blinks an eye. Ridiculous

ami5000		2012-07-09 09:46:45 PM

THAT ONE IS ALMOST TO OMAHA.

Sandor at the Zoo		2012-07-09 09:46:46 PM

George Brett looks like he's trying to make a Very Serious Point.

kruk is eating? color me shocked

he is still pissed about the pine tar bat

stolibro		2012-07-09 09:48:58 PM

Imagine that... Kruk is eating.

Detroit always gets short shrift, no matter what the sport.

LOL John Kruk being a fatass.

Sandor at the Zoo		2012-07-09 09:49:25 PM

Light bulbs underwater?! Well, hell, I'm gonna go piss on an electric fence!

Skid Roe v. Wade Boggs		2012-07-09 09:49:44 PM

George Brett talking about poop?

No waaaaaayyy...

Rex_Banner		2012-07-09 09:50:17 PM

Ya know what would be fun? If they would have one of the greats from the host team call the entire derby from beginning to end. Like this year, it'd be Brett. It'd celebrate the game's history, it'd be a shout out to the local fans, and it'd be 100x better than listening to Berman

What_Would_Jimi_Do		2012-07-09 09:50:52 PM

HAHAHA, george brett on the set and they are talking about splash.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!		2012-07-09 09:51:09 PM

Then why the Fark didn't he pull out and let Country Breakfast hit? Who hit 11 out in BP today, including one out of the stadium in left.

Fark Cano, and Fark you self-righteous Yankee fan douchebags that do 100x worse shiat every game in the Bronx WITH PRIDE.
