Unless you live under a rock, you know tonight is the home run derby. I'd like to say my favorite part about this year's event, regardless of who wins, is that 7 of the 8 participants are from the United States. (USA! USA!) Hopefully, Justin Morneau can make Canada proud of him and put up a better showing that the previous 2 Canadian participants (Morneau, 2007, and Jason Bay, 2005, for a total of 4 HR. And Morneau had 4 of them.) But it doesn't matter since Ryan Braun is going to win.
What focus, what determination. And he can get hitting tips from C.C., who is averaging 1 HR/4 AB. He has obviously mastered the art of putting his weight into his swing. That's obviously why Grady has nearly matched his previous career best (23 vs. 28) at the break. Either that or he figures the steroid investigation is over and started juicing.Homeruns and Brewers got me thinking: what happens if the Brewers host an All Star Game and the home run derby is at Miller Park? Would Bernie slide for every home run, providing a Brewer was participating and hitting them? Could he get back up to the top fast enough if two home runs are hit back-to-back? Can he do that during a regular Brewers game? Which hot dog could hit the most home runs? Who would win in a hot dog eating contest if they got vegetarian hot dogs: Prince or C.C.? Will Bill Hall ever receive the respect he deserves from the general public? Does Corey Hart hate that song about sunglasses from the '80s? Do people actually buy and drink Miller Chill? Is it Friday yet?
Oh, and f*** watching the All Star Game. Here's what will be on my TV.

the all-star games was in Milwaukee in 2002, i think. And Bernie hung himself from the slide because the game ended in a tie.
