I gotta admit that I am now fully defending The Miz's selection, only because of how much I enjoy seeing the Phillies whine about it.

Mt. Rushmore.

Many familiar names in this year's MLB draft which starts tonight. In addition to another son of Matt Holliday, we have the kids of Mark McGwire, AJ Pierzynski, CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez, Sean Casey, Jeff Kent, and Craig Counsell.

In addition to Holliday's kid, Eli Willits, the son of Reggie, is likely a top 5 pick. Some buzz for him to go first overall, with Washington looking to cut a deal.

There could not be a worse time for the Boston Red Sox nor Milwaukee Brewers to take four days off.

Does McGwire's kid come pre-roided up?

The mics Fox is using for in-game interviews are messed up. Can't hear anything the respondents are saying.

Aaron Boone destroyed what could've been one of the funnest baseball moments.

Most will say no, but a regular season game tied after 9 going to a HR Derby would be fun as hell.

How many years have I been subjected to the automatic runner on 2nd when that is a viable alternative?!?

I want to see it tied by the time we get to the end of the bench batter and the game depends on  Mario Mendoza cranking a home run

Outside of HR Derby, that was a fun baseball game. Great late inning heroics. The challenge system was fast and fantastic.

I am one who would emphatically say no.  We complain about how strikeouts are dominating the game and MLB is doing everything in it's power to limit the amount of innings pitchers pitch to ensure the high strikeouts continue (ghost runner, 26 man roster, etc). 

Baseball has to do something to minimize the amount of innings that pitchers can just go max effort.  I really dislike three true outcomes baseball and an f'in home run derby to win tie games would be the icing on the cake.  I remember making a comment in one of the soccer threads how a penalty-kick shoot out is a bad way to decide a winner and then joked about how stupid it would be if tie baseball games were decided by a HR derby and yet here we are.

HR derby is an awesome tiebreaker for an All Star game.

It would be terrible for games that matter.

And shoot out is a terrible way for hockey games to end as well. Maybe its because I have watched more soccer in the last couple of years, but I don't understand what is so bad about a tie - after the 5:00 OT of course.

Some people like kissing their sister. Some don't.

Personal preference, I presume.

So each batter get 3 swings. So how many pitches does the pitcher have to throw? If I was a pitcher every pitch would be out of the strike zone.

Yeah I just don't like that reference. It's just a neutral game outcome.
