Home Run Derby

Took Ramirez @ 10 elsewhere, 11.5 here.

Ramirez for me 2

Same here.

looks like we'll all be laughing or crying circa 3.oo am then

cabrera for me

BIG BET

gl

Crazy having a big bet on something like this, but it's your money

Decided to go for quite a bit on Cabrera

Small bet on Nick Swisher

I really know nothing , ive simply gone for the fave and another pick at random

Let me guess Swisher is the worst one in it ?

I've backed Hart & Swisher. Tried to put a bit of reasoning into it, all rubbish probably but -

Hart quite high ranked up in HR out of those competing with lots of RBI's, decent price and Milwaukee parcipitants normally make last 4.

Swisher - New York only ever had 3 entrants before - 2 have won, huge price.

Can't be having Cabrera that short, Ramierz seems to big to be true so probably is, Ortiz is competing is like his 3rd/4th? so why should this year be any different, Wells is another outsider but Hart had better stats, Holliday i also fancied but seemed pretty short so Hart got the pick over him.

No it is a process of elimination (I think)

unless they've changed the rules they carry forward to the 2nd round and are reset in the final

Does this commentator always do this annoying back , back , back , back , back , back , goneeee ?

I stand corrected Dale

yeah he does but i dont find it that bad

ffs holiday 4 with 1 out left! argh!

hello SB hank hill here, how you doing?

Is that Cubs fan on the ESPN 30/30 advert the one who caught THAT ball

hey hank, yeah im good, long time no speak, you keeping ok?

not the best of times for me sb tbh, my dad is ill and my son who is due in 4 weeks we have found out will require heart surgery - if you got any good luck to pass over I'll take it lol

imo only a left hander can win this - i know hart has hit 13 but he is still not in final (fancy ortiz and cabrera)

sorry to hear mate, i hope things turn for you.

Dale i dont know you but youve got my luck

Best wishes to you and your family

so my pick is ortiz

Best wishes Hank, keep your chin up

cheers everyone, how did the WC treat you sb?

not bad, had a good mlb season so far

good stuff- how mental are the heat games going to be this season! should be fun IR lol

lol yep can't wait

ortiz bringing the heat!

wow papi on fire here

Big Poppy all over them

got to remember hamilton burning people though when he kept slugging

Some moneys been done on Carbrera - oops

bit of late pressure for hart

clutch!

Great show by Hanley when he looked out of it

What happens between Ortiz and Ramirez now?

depends wheteher hart can overtake them

hart was sat down too long - shame for him

o hr and 8 outs ouch

You were right Dale (with the Hamilton reference)

my book is 520 ortiz, ramierez 292, not sure whether to put some green on hamley, ortiz looked great last at bats.

nice book sb - 190 ramirez 70 ortiz for me

I spoke too soon, bloody hell.

I was all in on Ramirez SB greened out now for some beer money

WD guys

Only had small stakes on Ramirez so no point backing Ortiz now.

gl all

nice call nbk

the opposite of the forum curse then it seems

great start

i'd prob go for Ortiz, ramirez gets too excited when he hits 3 in a row

ortiz you beast LOL

big papi wow

Was fun while it lasted [;)]

thanks SB and u. I remember about a week ago on the main thread I said Ramirez was on fire so I kinda went with that

holy F 8 hrs and just the 2 outs

11 gonna be tough

Just needs to stay cool imo

There's been more money matched on this than most league games LOL

dunno if you did last year, but there was some nutter offering about 1k at 10s on a player that was almost thru to rd 2 lol, but yeah ok money tonight

No missed it, i seemed to pick the All star week and the league play offs to go on holiday

well done papi!!

GN all. All star game here we come  WD winners

turned my book around nicely - night all

ffs i thought this was tomorrow. it said tuesday on the betting, for some reason my brain thought ahh maybe thats monday night but i got distracted and forgot. i was going to lay cabrera at the price.
