Bring Back the Juice

How pitiful is tonight's line-up for the State Farm Home Run Derby from Yankee Stadium? The lead-off hitter from the last place team in the AL Central is competing. True, Grady Sizemore is leading the Junior Circuit in four-baggers but come on. If you're going to rid the game of steroids then get rid of the home run derby. Instead, have a sacrifice bunt derby, or a work-the-count-and-draw-a-walk derby. The days of Big Mac and Slammin' Sammy crushing balls out of the stadium are long gone. Major League Baseball should bring back all those suspected steroid users and put them on display.


Official Prediction: Dan Uggla defeats Lance Berkman in the final round, winning a home in Miami for one lucky individual who will then negotiate relocating said home to somewhere where he can draw better.
