I didn't think he'd have a shot to win it after all the swings he took in round 1, but he proved me wrong.

He's such a good ballplayer. Forget what he did here tonight, think about how he's flirting with going 40/40 this year.

haha yeah pudges son needed to be slapped...im from philly and i love abreu but i didnt think he had a chance to win, let alone set records, since hes not a pure homerun hitter...and what the hell was with mike piazza just hitting cymbals and standin around with alter bridge??

I wanted to hit Pudge's son with a bat, followed by a rampage on some of those annoying losers in the outfield that couldn't even catch. Did you see the one dive for a ball, trap it, and get up acting like he caught it? I'd smash his head in.

Pretty sad the white guy and the Canadian guy could only hit 2 combined.

In all fairness to the kids, its not easy catching the fly balls way out there....some of them did look pretty stupid though.

Wow, Abreu was great. The derby was much better than all the hype saying that it was going to be the worst ever. Abreu has been underrated forever, and it's great to see him show what a solid hitter he is. Also I think it's worth mentioning that Abreu averages most pitches seen per/ at-bat in the majors.

Yeah, that's because good old Bobby is always looking to get walked instead of knocking in baserunners. Without a doubt, he could be the greatest player in the game right now if he was aggressive at the plate and actually put effort into being an outfielder.

Its kinda funny how the world is starting to worship Bobby. He takes so much flack from the Philly media here.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Phillies fan and I was rooting for him last night. But if you watch him every night like I do, you'll see that even with the insnae numbers he puts up, he's still underachieving and that's what pisses everybody off down here.

yeah he does underacheive but especially in the field...hes such a damn slacker even though he has a hose...also i was reading something that said that he has just one homerun in either the 8th or 9th inning in his entire career, he always looks to get walked in big game situations

Yaaaaaa, that was me. Those guys made Comerica look small, It was amazing. You did see the park come into play, however, when they hit it to dead center.
