prince only has to hit 1/6 the homeruns as the guy immediately above him in the standings?

“Prince Fielder is batting without a helmet. I know it’s batting practice, but a pitch can still get away and do some damage. Doug Melvin must be upset right now.” – Dave Pinto

I am really getting pissed at the announcers
“the only reason Cruz and Fielder are in this is because they got more rest” … both of them had at least 4 more runs then the other two going into the second round, and surprise surprise they won in the second round. I hate this making excuses for the others.
well...that's clearly because they got batting practice right before the first round
duh:P

Though i’d probably be a little tweaked too if, say, the All Star game were in Milwaukee and Pujols won the HR derby. Or, say, the game ended in a tie.
