Home Run Derby Thread Part II

Tonight's the home run derby at Yankee Stadium, and Josh "Our Surpreme Overlord" Hamilton will be participating. I expect him to hit eleventy billion homers, and then cure cancer on the way out.
I can't say that I'm excited about ESPN broadcasting the event, especially with the awful combination of Chris Berman and Joe Morgan. But it's good publicity for the Rangers.
Bodog has the Derby odds up, and our boy is the favorite:
Josh Hamilton: 3/1
Lance Berkman: 7/2
Chase Utley: 5/1
Justin Morneau: 5/1
Dan Uggla: 6/1
Ryan Braun: 6/1
Grady Sizemore: 13/2
Evan Longoria: 7/1I'm not going to be posting tonight, because I'll be playing the Home Run Derby drinking game instead.
So, for all of Ham's dingers tonight, I offer this:

Hamilton...
Should go up there and pound 30 more homers in the 2nd round, then for good measure hit 40 in the finals. Then go to sleep and hit another 70.

Best Ranger moment ever
didn’t have time to read all the comments in thread 1
Did anyone else say that might have been the greatest moment in Texas Ranger history.
I know there have been others – but is there one that received this much attention
who knows – maybe the Rangers might make an appearance on ESPN Baseball tongiht or Sportscenter some time later this season – of course that would only be if Josh hits a homer

that got a ton of publicity too and is a pretty enduring memory.

those are great moments to Rangers fans,
