Nate

is four feet tall!

That was the best moment of the roster introductions, since Billy Wagner ended up not flicking off Yankee Stadium, which he clearly wanted to.

Did/will they pronounce his last name correctly?

I don't know...

how to pronounce it. The “louth” sounded like “loud”. Is that right?

Rollie Fingers

Oh you weren’t expecting the game to start before 9 were you?

On the bright side, this pregame was long on cool moments and short on idiotic talking heads. Expect that ratio to reverse once the postseason starts.

Yeah

the Home Run Derby coverage last night was astoundingly bad. Astounding. Though it was pretty cool when Chase Utley dropped the f-bomb on live tv :D

I did enjoy the moment when someone crushed a pitch, Joe Morgan said “that’s an out” and, and the ball landed in the upper deck in right. It was also dismaying to see Rick Reilly, unreadable jackass in print, on national TV.

The quality of the derby made up for it. This time.

I really don't blame them

Nobody outside of, like, the twelve of us really cares. If this team hadn’t sucked so hard the past 15 years, maybe Joe would have had something interesting to say about Natee.

I'd be okay with it

except they even talked about Volquez, and the fact that the Reds are under .500. THAT’S NOT EVEN A POSITIVE, yet they couldn’t even say ANYTHING about Nate or the Pirates.

.500 or bust...
