Cruz hits 11 in the 1st round hell of a show by Cruz putting one into the 4th deck.

Poor Inge with a big ol 0 in the first round, didnt expect much anyways.

The Prince absolutely crushes 6 to make his total a leading 17. a 503ft jack on one of em by the way abolutely destroyed that ball.

 

FINAL ROUND

Cruz squeezes out 5 in the final round. is it enough?

Fielder punches 6 of em WAY out to win it.

[TedWilliams101]

So much for the Inge predictions, the first 0-fer tonight.

[BoSox21]

I really thought Gonzo would do better, f***ing guy didn't take hardly any pitches

[The_Destroyah]

I really thought Gonzo would do better' date=' f***ing guy didn't take hardly any pitches[/quote']

 

I thought he would do a lot better too, im kinda dissapointed.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Looks like my 2 picks are going to the 2nd round unless Pujols absolutely shits the bed right here.

[Cocos Disciples]

Noooo Pena won't move on unless Pujols hits less than 5.

[The_Destroyah]

Noooo Pena won't move on unless Pujols hits less than 5.

 

that screws me over too...but fielder still looks good.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Pujols needs to go on a run here or he's done.

 

He can redeem himself if he hits that $1 mill sign.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Pena and Mauer still alive!

[TedWilliams101]

Look for Pujols to take over.
