LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 And the HR derby won't kill pull hitters like Howard. It's guys who use the whole field who get killed.Howard has only been a pull hitter for the first half of this season. He hit half his home runs last year to the opposite field.It sucks that he's more of a pull hitter this year. His power numbers are still there, but he's a worse hitter this year.

I was born on the day Berkowitz was finally caught.Was listening at lunch to Rome today (or...whoever that was who is in for him) and they didn't have many good things to say about it.ESPN sure did have a big push on though last night.

CCC8190 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 i was iffy about "the bronx is burning", but i stuck it out; awesome pilot. like you guys already said, the casting is phenomenal, steinbrenner cracks me up; whether it's in seinfeld or in this show he always is talking the same way. as for the derby, oh god... i had friends over and we just went outside and hung out by 10:00. horrendous.

mack 44 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I wouldn't go so far as to say he's their best, but I'd have him in the 2-hole and let Barry leadoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Maybe I'm biased since I'm a Phils fan, but have you seen his stats? Right now, I'd have to think that it's Utley, Reyes, and Fielder in a race for the MVP. No? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Oh no, that's not a biased opinion because I think he's up there for it just like Howard was last year. I think the fact he plays 2B hurts those stats, which is completely illogical to me. For the MVP race though I can't see him being up there for long since they're in 3rd, whether or not they finish ahead of the Braves. It's a competitive albeit weak MVP race in the NL.

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I actually thought he deserved it last year, except his stats dipped a little towards the end of the season and Howard was hot at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan HowardThat's why I qualified the statement with the word "typically." In all honesty, I just said that because I'm a Braves fan and am thus relatively frustrated.
