Maybe He Should Lead off

Bobby Abreu set a Home Run Derby "record" with 24 dingers in the first round tonight as the derby leadoff hitter. Aside from the atrocious uni that they made him wear:

Oopha!?!

Of course, the Philly fan collective groaned that he never hit one with men on base and that he didn't run any of them out selfish player that he is. Oh, and he never played any of the other contestants balls off the right field wall. They should trade the slacker.

No, but Wade will probably throw in Ryan Howard, all for a few middle relievers.

Its coming - the idiot onslaught from Philadelphia media: "great when it doesn't mean anything," "great when its all about him" - blah, blah, blah.

He ain't perfect but he's a rare talent and one of the great offensive players in the game. Its only fitting that the only place where they don't realize that is in Eskinville. Ridiculous.

...and the Abreu for Quantrill deal is just around the corner.

That Abreu, what a selfish player--always swinging for the fences to pad his personal stats. He should have gone up there and bunted a couple of times.
