Home Run Farce

Jason Kendall could do alot worse than to watch tonights Home Run Derby for inspiration, despite it becoming more of a farce than ever. The All-Star game is often the butt of many jokes or rants due to it being a popularity contest rather than literally being All-Stars of the season, and now the Home Run Derby seems to be heading down the route of a "Joke". This year there will be Representatives of 8 different countries (wouldnt it make more sense to have Andruw Jones representing Europe rather than Holland?) including some players who wouldnt even be in the top 20 choices if it was for the whole of MLB. Either way, it will be something different and I will be rooting on Jones.
