This event is on par with the dunk contest. Get rid of it.

A few things.

Listening to Berman is excrutiating as usual.

Was that guy "Big Papi" there? I didn't see him or hear about him.

If anyone altered their swing, I'd say it was David Wright. Lo Duca was throwing him a softball-arc, and Wrights swing thus looked like a looping, all-arms softball swing.

I'm not saying Wright will go into the tank like Abreu because that was a one-time thing after years and years of HR derby, so I think it was an anomaly, but if I had to pick, I'd say he (Wright) altered his swing the most.

Never invite Glaus again.

I just hope Ryan Howard doesn't go into the tank like Abreu did last year. Meh, on second thought what does it matter. As long as Charlie Manuel is still manager they can't win a game anyway.

Lou Piniella=next year Phil's manager. take it to the bank.

lou is gillick's man from seattle.
then maybe this team will have some attitude.

and Manuel will go back to growing corn
