Someone.
Please.
Kill Berman.
Only on the first batter and I'm about to vomit. He's calling 350 ft homers down the line as if they're World Series game-winners.

Cano the class of the field through the first three batters. He crushed a few.

And he's a prick to work with as well.
Typical Brown graduate.

Are you serious? Chris Berman aside, this might have been the best derby ever....

I made it up to Fielder in Round 1 before I turned the channel due to lack of interest and Berman avoidance.

I'm as big a baseball fan as it gets & I turned the finals off - couldn't watch it anymore.

Didn't watch HRD, and won't watch the All-Star game either. Only the 1970 game, where Pete Rose effectively ended Ray Fosse's career, ranks in the Ivytalk Pantheon of Great BB Games.

As this game will dictate rather the Phillies will sweep the Yankees at home or away, I have a stake in it and will therefore watch it.

Yankees wont play any significant role in the playoffs regardless of the outcome of tonights game.
