Erin Andrews is much more tolerable on the 'internet' than she is on ESPN

Such a classy town. Every Philly sports team should be required to watch this short educational film in training camp:

You talking about that split he did in the softball game? I walked into the room just as he did that and figured they were going to have to cart him off the field.

How was the homerun derby last night? I didn't even get to watch it. Probably the first time I missed it in like 20 years.

Better than the past couple years I thought.

3 things would vastly improve the derby now:

1 - the big guys have to be involved more, I don't want to see Corey Hart, Chris Young and Vernon Wells doing this. Pujols, A-rod even someone like Vladdy needs to be in this. If it takes paying them off then do it but this is the big attraction to All-Star week they need to have a little more star power in the event.

if they aren't going to do that then:
2 - less Chris Berman
3 - less clothing and less talking from Erin Andrews. Just have her stand there, much more enjoyable.

I have to admit, I didn't see much of it. That being said, since I watch the Pirates on a regular basis, I see about 100 of them per season.

Hitters who swing at the first pitch after a pitcher has just walked a guy drives me nuts. However, Brian McCann came through with a 3-run double, so he gets an appreciative nod from me. Which NL reliever gets the honor of blowing the game?

A lot of people don't realize his numbers are better than Ubaldo's right now.
