I should have known better after deeming the Home Run Derby one of the more entertaining events, and Alex Rios inclusion a joke. Of course the opposite would happen. That was one long, long, loooooong letdown. McCovey Cove was calm and the bats were quiet. Alex Rios of all people was the only contestant to reach double digits in the event. I guess they should have invited Craig Counsell, maybe he could have won the thing.
If there was one consolation it was not hearing "back-back-back" as often as we're accustomed.
So for our stud and dud in baseball last night it's an easy choice.
