1) What did Utley say under his breath?

 

"Boo? (expletive deleted) you."

Nice performance by Berkman. Braun's going to need at least 6.

[thablingster]

I was afraid Braun was going to put up a bagel like Jason Bay after he got off to the poor start, but he made it to the second round.

[owbc]

Braun = clutch performer

[pitchleague]

or a swing and a miss like Bret Boone in Chicago a couple of years ago.

 

Very nice showing by Ryan after a very slow start.

[MillerParkSouth]

wow Hamilton is just crushing these.

[olsonnet]

I don't think I can take another hour of "The Josh Hamilton Story". OK, ESPN, we get it. If Braun wasn't still in I'd flip the channel.

[AJAY]

Hamilton is amazing.

 

WOW !!!

[1Badgerfan]

Wow, that is all there is to say about that. This thing is over.

[Loopee]

I highly recommend just muting the TV and watching Hamilton hit. The guy is amazing.

[SeriesFinale]

Wow, that is all there is to say about that. This thing is over.

Slate's wiped clean in the final round I thought

 

[MillerParkSouth]

haha, all that and he makes $0 for charity!

[pitchleague]

well, for those that wondered what it would be like if Branyan was in the Home Run Derby, you now know the answer. That was fun to watch. Brought a tear to my eye.

[silversurferr]

Glad we don't have Hamilton in the division for the next ten years! As good as Volquez is, his career will probably be alot shorter....

[hammytime]

I said the same thing to my husband, and e-mailed it to my sister, just moments ago. Some serious power in that kid.

[brewtank34]

Please shut up Berman! Hamilton, all props big boy!

I see Ryan Braun breaking Hamilton's all time single round record in the second round.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

 

[brettac1]

That was just amazing... gotta think that he's going to be beat after sitting around and getting cooled off, though. I think Braun has a really good shot to win it.

Inspiring performance

[ecjimg]

Yehhh, Edison Volquez looks like the kind of guy that would find Carlos Zambrano as a role model. Go away, both of you.

[ELCABALLO45]

Unbelivable

[PeaveyFury]

Having the theme from The Natural playing in the background near the end there is strangely appropriate in that situation....

[Schlitz001]

I'm rooting for Braun, but it seems unfair for anyone besides Hamilton to win it at this point.

[Ranier]

Anyone else see Hamilton's HR that landed in center and when a few fans came running for the ball, a cop grabbed one of the fans around the neck?

[razzzorsharp]

I think there was a skirmish of sorts.

[BrewCrewForever]

Josh Hamilton IS the natural. My God, I know its just like BP but still that many HR and where he hit them. Oh and he has 95 RBI at the break, that is sick.
