I don't watch the Home Run Derby because it makes as much sense to me as having quarterbacks throw long bombs with no defense, but if they're going to have it at least select the participants in a way that makes sense.

David Wright selects Michael fucking Cuddyer to be in it? Why? Because he's his friend. Hell, let's put his gardener in it, too. Meanwhile, Dominic Brown, Pedro Alvarez and Paul Goldschmidt are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the NL in homers. But I'm sure the fans can't wait to see Michael Cuddyer take his licks.

Those who choose to watch this 3 hour snooze fest can enjoy listening to Chris Berman say "back-back-back-back" repeatedly. I'll find something else better to do, again.

I've always wanted to see the HR derby have guys like Nick Punto in it....where 3 or 4 HRs might win the thing, instead of watching big lugs just get tired of swinging the bat.

Then in turn, have a stolen base contest for guys like David Ortiz, Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera....etc

Add a Jeff Brantley/Joe Morgan/Mitch Williams led brain game and you'd have a pretty good ASG.

Skydiver kicks shortstop in the face

ST. LOUIS -- It was a most unusual error on a baseball field.

A skydiver parachuting in before a summer league game accidentally kicked shortstop Mattingly Romanin in the face, knocking him to the ground and, as it turns out, ending his season.

The 20-year-old Romanin said Wednesday he had a concussion and was trying to take the bizarre mishap in stride.

"Obviously I was a little upset and kind of frustrated about how the whole situation developed," he said. "It was a freak accident. It happens. There's nothing really I can do. I've just got to move on and make sure I'm healthy and ready to play."

Cont'd ...

Video at link.

And LOL at the "it happens." No, Romanin, it doesn't. When you're out on the field for pregame, you should not have to worry about getting a boot in the teeth by a wayward skydiver.

Also, when the skydivers arrive, you should have your head on a swivel.
