As I write this, David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez are slugging it out in the 2010 Home Run Derby. Man, Ortiz looks good. He's been ripping home runs into right field all night. Four in the final round before his first out. He's the oldest guy in this year's group, and his experience is showing. What a performance in the final round. 11 home runs. Wow.
Now Hanley Ramirez, Bobby Valentine's man-crush. By the way, would you rather have anyone else calling home runs in this contest other than Chris Berman? I wouldn't. Back to Hanley. First ball falls just short. As another quick side note, what a shame about Corey Hart, huh? Great first round performance, and then no dingers in the second round. Is there really something to be said about long waiting periods between at-bats? Meanwhile, Hanley is in trouble. Three outs and only one home run. Big Papi's looking good right now. And what a season he's had after a horrid April. He's even giving Hanley some love mid-at-bat. Three outs left, and Hanley needs seven. Not looking good for him. And....it's over, and Big Papi has won it. Good for him. Look for my reaction to the All-Star Game tomorrow.
