    Anyone gonna watch tonight? If so, who you picking to win it?

    Lineup:

    NL
    Pujols
    Holliday
    Howard
    Fielder

    AL
    Rios
    Vlad
    Morneau
    Ordonez

    I'm gonna pick Morneau. Gotta take a lefty in that park, and Fielder and Howard seem too obvious.

    i think lefties will have problems, because they will be over swinging, trying to hit in into the cove.

    wiht that being said, i got Vlad Guerrero to win it.

    I know it's not fun for all of us to take the same guy, but I'm going w/ Vlad Guerrero.

    I love the fact that homeboy doesn't wear gloves or sweat bands or anything. He puts on his dirty ass batters helmet with his long, nasty goatie and just goes to work. He looks and acts like a blue collar worker but he has tens of millions in the bank.

    ....and he's on my fantasy team this year. Geaux Vlad.

    what definitely concerns me about vlad is whether or not he can hit a ball down the middle. :)

    he normal is at his best when the pitch is 10 inches off the plate lol

    Lefties have won the last 10 of 14 but they are in a right handed park. I will go with Fielder anyways.

    PHUCK!!!!

    I just drew Magglio in the office pool. I'm not exactly thrilled with this pick.

    right field porch is barely over 300 ft. like 305 or something.

    fielder is too fat and will be worn out by the last round. i picked howard last year so ill guess ill ride the lightning. his swing is effortless anywho.

    i would like to see the impaler win though like the others said. the non-glove thing and workman attitude is refreshing. plus he hates the spotlight. this would be a good time to get a few words out of him. base-uh-bowl has bean vetty vetty gewd to me.
