Home Run Derby Live-Thread: Taking a Dip in McCovey Cove

Time for a little dose of the long ball, and we know how chicks dig that. I wouldn't mind taking a dip into McCovey Cove today that's for sure (only a mere 114 today in Vegas).

If there was ever a stadium designed for such an event, ~~PacBel~~ AT & T Park is definitely that. For whatever reason, watching a ball splash into McCovey Cove presents a certain amount of intrigue that just wasn't there in Pittsburgh.

So if you're one of the Home Run Derby loving fans who can tolerate Chris Berman for a night, feel free to saddle up here for the night. As I mentioned earlier, I'm taking Morneau.

The wind blows in, its hard to see and the alleys are way too long. I didn't enjoy seeing 20 HRs today (that is exaggerated) in the first round TOTAL.
