The 2011 MLB Home Run Derby is tonight at 8pm EST in Phoenix, Arizona. Besides the individual competition, this year the AL will compete against the NL for a charity of their choice. A captain from each league was selected who then picked 3 players for his team. The top 4 totals from the 1st round will advance to the 2nd round. The 2 players with the highest cumulative totals after the first 2 rounds will advance to the finals. 1st and 2nd round totals do not carry over to the finals. Now that the rules are clear here are my picks with the drinking game below:
1st Round:
American League
David Ortiz (Red Sox)
Jose Bautista (Blue Jays)
Robinson Cano (Yankees)
Adrian Gonzalez (Red Sox)
National League
Prince Fielder (Brewers)
Matt Holliday (Cardinals)
Matt Kemp (Dodgers)
Rickie Weeks (Brewers)
Advance to 2nd round:
David Ortiz (Red Sox)
Jose Bautista (Blue Jays)
Prince Fielder (Brewers)
Matt Kemp (Dodgers)
Advance to finals:
Jose Bautista (Blue Jays)
Prince Fielder (Brewers)
Winner:
Jose Bautista (Blue Jays) & the American League
Drink Whenever:
A home run is hit
A kid in the OF drops or catches a fly ball
There's a foul ball
You want to punch Boomer in the face
An All-Star is shown filming
Boomer says "back"
Chug Whenever:
A player swings and misses
Pedro Gomez is shown because seeing him makes chugging necessary
A homer is over 500-feet
Here's to being Patrick Schwasted by the end of the 1st round!
