Home run deby last night

[Bubbaglide]

Did anyone watch the Derby? Alonso was a beast in the first match. I think he got the other guys pressing thinking he would put up 35 every time. Ohtani was a bit disappointing. The chain someone hung around Alonso after he won was just awful.

 

[Who Cares_Who Cares]

Alonso is a machine. He's like the Joey Chestnut of the home run derby.

I went to bed when shotani lost. Looking forward to seeing him on the bump tonight and being the DH.

JMO he looked really stupid out there doing the head bob thing. Leave that to Acuna and Tatis. He put on a show for sure. That's the last of what I will watch for the ASG stuff due to what they did to the Atlanta area. As much as they cost the hard working folks of our area, only to give all of the to Lilly White Colorado should be getting much more attention than it is getting.

Got to remember Alonso is still a young man. He was enjoying himself. Not sure about your comment on leaving it to Acuna and Tatis. Just doesn't feel right. The ASG bowed to the woke crowd. Many businesses around the game benefit. By moving out, the Atlanta area businesses lost but Denver gained. I thought it curious they moved it to Denver. It is a bastion of liberalism but as you say, they don't have a huge minority population. Detroit t have been a better choice but who wants to go to Detroit

Yeah maybe I didn't word that right. It looked stupid for him to be doing the head bob thing. It didn't look natural. Ofcourse if you have seen much of anything with him, he pretty flaky anyways, so maybe he was having fun. Ex Gator dumba$$ so maybe that clouded my perception. I agree Detroit would have been a better venue.

The Chain

 

[Bubbaglide]

That chain is pretty cheesy to me.

That chain is pretty cheesy to me.

True. But the 1 million $ prize isn’t. It is almost double his current salary. That’s why he’s smiling. I would be too.

Don't they usually donate it?

I think they usually do. Hopefully some deserving group of kids will be helped

I thought I heard them say he donated like 50k of it last time. The announcers were discussed for a while how this was a significant supplement to his yearly salary.

 

[Kpmack]

Last year he donated 50k a piece to the wounded warrior project and tunnel to towers. This year I believe it’s tunnel to towers and the NYPD/NYFD widows fund.

 

[Bubbaglide]

I know many are advised by accountants to donate to charity but kudos to him for his choice of charities

I would, to my bank account.
