Gotta love it. Tonight's the Home Run Derby, starting at 7:00 PM Central. Ryan Braun from the Milwaukee Brewers is competing for the National League, along with Lance Berkman from Houston, Florida's Dan Uggla and Philadelphia's Chase Utley. The American League contestants are Tampa Bay rookie Evan Longoria, Texas' Josh Hamilton, Cleveland's Grady Sizemore, and Minnesota's Justin Morneau. Unfortunately, the home run derby will be on ESPN again which likely means Joe Morgan and Chris Berman will be the announcers.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee's Ben Sheets has been selected as the National League starting pitcher for tomorrow night. Here are the starting line-ups for tomorrow night's game:
