Default HR Derby

Posted By: Bob

Not only did Erin Andrews snub Justin Morneau for Hamilton immediately post-Derby, but during the trophy presentation she clearly pronounces his name as "Mar-neau," Executive Vice President of MLB Rob Manfred goes with something like "Myrrh-neau," and Boys and Girls Club Giant Check Giver Guy just flat out insults him with "Jason." We get it, guys: Morneau didn't do heroin. So he's bo-ring.

Show Justin some love guys I know the 28 home runs was astounding but it wasn't like they changed the rules midway through the contest.
Jon- In 2006 Morneau put the Twins on his back and carried a very average team to the playoffs. He was unstoppable and deserved the MVP award. Was he the best player in the league and better than Jeter? maybe not, but he was the MOST VALUABLE and that's what the award is all about.
And what about Reilly's comment denigrating the contest because there so many "white guys" in it? Lord almighty can you hear the flap if someone had said on national TV that there were "too many Black guys" or "too many Hispanics????" Do we put an asterisk in the record book Rick? Too many of the Caucasian persuasion? That was the stupidest comment I have heard in a long time....
