My favorite part are the kids in the outfield. These kids get a chance to field non homeruns and be on the field during an all star game. I'm sure its a great thrill.So Why am I starting to be reminded of the Natinals?It is interesting to watch 5 kids all misjudge the same flyball, and it drop in between them all. http://redwhiteandbluepresident.blogspot.com/2009/07/home-run-derby-outfielders.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Chris Ford)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846530822366371444.post-3078154730420407916Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:37:00 +00002009-06-23T10:04:32.721-07:00Ballhype is a web site that tracks sports blogs and ranks blogs based on certain criteria that is not important right now. What is important is that it is the place to go to find all the blogs about a certain team, how many posts they have per week, and their rankings.After checking out the Nationals blogs, I was surprised to see so many. Tons that I never even visited or heard of.

The camera cuts to a crowd shot where a Nats fan proceds to fake a high five and turn it into a middle finger to his bro. I'm not that good at depth perception, but I think that old woman is not in the same row, but seems to be getting a good view of the bird being flipped.Yes, that is my TV.

Now all they have to do is drive directly to the nearest bank and rob it in order to pay this guy."This kind of player only comes around every 20 years"--Ben McDonald on MLB TV, Drafted exactly 20 years ago--The next Ben McDonald is expected to ask for around 50 Mil, and the debate will be http://redwhiteandbluepresident.blogspot.com/2009/06/step-1-draft-stephen-strasburg-check.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Chris Ford)0
