Justin Wins, nobody cares

Last night Chris and Angela came over to watch the Home Run Derby, my favorite part of the All-Star Break. We were all pretty tired as we just came back the day before from Kansas City for yet another baseball game. So of course as usual ESPN's announcers just over look the guys from Minnesota, never mind that this guy was MVP two years ago, but whatever. Nobody picked Justin to win.
During the 1st round we all know about the Cinderella story of Josh Hamilton and how he came back from a drug addiction and now broke this record of home runs in the 1st round. It actually got boring having him hit all the home runs. I think Justin Morneau made the derby exciting. And I was getting pretty excited when Justin was in the final round. So after Josh Hamilton lost! ESPN interviews him, and tells Morneau to wait. Then they only talked about stupid Hamilton, not the winner of the event. What is with ESPN, be sports broadcasters and not butt lickers. I'm serious. That really made me mad, what does Minnesota have to do to get recognized? Obviously winning the Home Run Derby is only cool if you used to do drugs. So here is my salute to Justin Morneau, 1st baseman for the Minnesota Twins, Canadian, and sober! Go out and celebrate with some Jimmy John's Justin!
