2009 Home Run Derby Open Forum

I've opened up the forum, which I'll be updating throughout the contest. I promise to speak the truth. The first truth to tell is that David Cook officially sucks balls.

2. Wow, that "Call Your Shot" contestant has some white legs.

3. Ozzie Smith is officially awesome.

4. Erin Andrews' chin looks like it's healed nicely.

5. Nelson Cruz to the field: "Game on."

6. So I take it that when Albert Pujols is up to bat, Prince Fielder will do some nonstop talking?

7. That Mohawk kid in the outfield is the first to every ball.

8. Prince Fielder politely requests that his 497-foot home run be left embedded in the concrete where it landed.

9. Tough luck, Inge. I highly doubt his shit is usually that weak. Better luck next time.

10. Josh Hamilton just shared Jesus Christ with me.

11. The yellow/green colored ball tracker needs to go. Puck Track, anyone?

12. Joe Mauer must have hit that last one through a rift in the space/time continuum.

13. Three-man bat-off.

14. I love how after Pena finished, Joe Morgan finally realized that it was five swings, not five outs.

15. Round 2: Cruz, Prince, Howard, Pujols.

16. Where can I get a Spink jersey?

17. Finals: Fielder v. Cruz. This is going to be fun.

18. I want to grow plants in Maui as a volunteer with Curtis Granderson.
