Whoa...Prince is on fire right now.

...and George Brett is great. And Berman is a douche.

**mtutiger** · 07-09-2012, 09:48 PM

God, watching Kruk eat ribs makes me wish MLB Network had this thing.

**hail2mich** · 07-09-2012, 09:48 PM

I sure as hell didn't tune in to watch John Kruk eat chicken.

oh my god... it has NOTHING to do with "NY", but nice bringing that in - that smacks of an inferiority complex, if you ask me.

That is royally messed up, booing Cano.

I never cared one way or another about KC, but from now on, I want MY team to pound their asses every time they play them.

They SUCK.

As usual I COMPLETELY disagree with this.

**monkeynuts** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

Prince doesn't even watch the ball leave the field.

**DaYooperASBDT** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

Prince with a lousy 458 footer into the RF fountains.

**smr-nj** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

I hope Prince wins this tonight.

**dalemotown** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

Who the **** wants the hear George Brett babble, when Fielder's tearing it up???....

**JayVee** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

How the heck did Fielder get that last one over the fence!?! It almost bounced!

**PuNk42AE** · 07-09-2012, 09:49 PM

Fielder After 2 Rounds, 16 HR

**monkeynuts** · 07-09-2012, 09:50 PM

I'm pretty confident that as a six year old I could field better than those 12 year olds out there.

**JayVee** · 07-09-2012, 09:50 PM

I thought it was hilarious, btw...

(KC/Cano)

ESPN continues to be a joke.

**hail2mich** · 07-09-2012, 09:51 PM

Better round from Prince. I would love to see a Bautista/Prince final, but he'll need some luck.

**Shinma** · 07-09-2012, 09:51 PM

Prince has the top 7 homers by distance at this point...

**PuNk42AE** · 07-09-2012, 09:51 PM

Every time I see ESPN show the HR trajectory, I think I'm playing Missile Command

So glad you were entertained by that.
From my point of view, that was beyond mean, for no good reason.
How do you think his father felt, being part of that?

Waaa waa waaa. Give me a break. How did it feel for his "poor father"....I bet he didnt really give a crap.

George Brett is a cool dude that is pretty interesting. I've enjoyed him.

There's too many of them out there. I'm surprised they don't get hurt trampling each other for a fly ball.

**dalemotown** · 07-09-2012, 09:52 PM

That person that gave Prince a handshake and chest-bump: was that that girl, from the movie "Friday"?...

I like the kid wearing the Yellow shoes. His Parents were smart. "You see little Johnny last night in the OF?" "No? Why would I?" "He was the one with the YELLOW SHOES!"

Agreed. Not just that, but they wrestle for the ball from time to time. It's a little weird.

Rather like him giving Berman an education on Midwest geography. I took an extra drink for that.

Is anybody else besides Kruk eating ribs? Seriously, dude, we don't wanna see it.

Lol. Ok

As pretty of a stadium as Kauffman is, and as nice of a good young team they have, that club can just suck it. If those fans want to boo something they should maybe think about booing the skinflint ownership and the fact that the Royals have been the laughing stock of the American League since 1986.

Chill out.

Cano was laughing, and yeah it sucks he got shut out, but who cares? He won the thing last year. This year he didn't.

**PuNk42AE** · 07-09-2012, 09:54 PM

Did Adam Jones just do a Rib-bomb to ESPN?

Every kid in the world, whether told "don't do that" or not, would try to rob a HR if given the chance... I think they go find the ones they wouldn't have to worry about

Funny... I thought the same thing.

**monkeynuts** · 07-09-2012, 09:55 PM

Very vulgar, but still one of my favorite YouTube videos ever...with George Brett...

The George Brett Story - YouTube

Christ, are Dan and Jim on the Radio so I can mute this crap

Lisa just called him a pig. Her quote was "that guy in the blue jacket is a pig. He can't stop eating those ribs."

Another great observation!

Nice call!

Who cares about the winning?
The bragging rights last about 24 hours, and then it's back to "who gives a rip".

It's supposed to be a fun night for the players and their families, and the fans.

**hail2mich** · 07-09-2012, 09:57 PM

Beltran with 12 total. He's done

**PuNk42AE** · 07-09-2012, 09:58 PM

Beltran after 2 Rounds, 12 HR
Eliminated

**DaYooperASBDT** · 07-09-2012, 09:58 PM

I love Brett, but this incessant mindless, skull melting babblement by grown men alleged to be sportscasters, all whilst nearly completely ignoring Prince's baseball destruction clinic, mixed in with Krukie sucking down ribs - only ESPN could make this derby so unwatchable. They jumped the shark years ago, along with the porpoise, the great white, the humpbacked whale, and an ill-tempered sea bass to boot. Lordy how I hate this so-called "production".
