I did want to watch the Home Run Derby
But I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it. I only wanted to see Ryan Howard and that’s it. I know that there were a couple of people that would have been pretty cool to see too. I do know that I was one of the few people out there that was rooting against Albert Pujols. Especially since the Derby took place in Saint Louis.
I know that crowd would have been obnoxiously in his corner. I just don’t like him because of 2005. That was the year that the Cards won the World Series but Ryan Howard won the MVP. Well crybaby Albert declared that since his team won the World Series that he shouldn’t have come up #2 in MVP votes, he should have won. Now I’m a Howard Homer so that just rubbed me the wrong way. Especially when everybody screams how great of a guy he is and then he starts whining. Once he saw that he was getting backlash, he backed off of his statement but it was already done in my mind. He’ll always be a jerk to me.
I did see today that Prince Fielder won. As long as it wasn’t El Jerko, I’m happy.
