Home Run!

I love the homerun derby at the all-star game. Last night's was pretty good. Josh Hamilton had an amazaing 28 in the first round, that's nuts! When it came down to the final round he was unfortunately all worn out and our very own Minnesota Twin, Justin Morneau won the trophy! GO TWINS!! Did anyone watch the 3rd round? how sad / awkward was it that after Hamilton LOST, he was the first to be interviewed while the crowd & excitement were still in the building? If you saw the interview immediately following his at bat, you can see Morneau in the background standing there looking very uncomfortable. No one came to congratulate him, as the loser, hamilton was being interviewed. Sure, Hamilton blew everyone out of the water in the first round, but that doesn't matter. Morneau won the derby & should have been given a little more credit for doing so. it just brings to light once again that the Minnesota Twins are a small market team & nobody really cares about them.
At least we have Joe Mauer starting in tonight's game! GO AMERICAN LEAGUE!
