I think it’s time for some less than shocking news. Yes sir, Bobby Abreu came through again with flying colors. The king of meaningless hits has now come through with the most meaningless hits in baseball ever by winning the Home Run Derby. Phils down by 10 in the 9th with 2 outs? Bobby Abreu hits a home run… Phils up by 12 in the 8th? Bobby Abreu hits another homer… Home Run Derby where winning is purely for the ego? Bobby Abreu hits 41 home runs to eliminate the competition… Phils down by 1 in the 9th? Bobby Abreu strikes out. ::womp, womp, womp:: Bobby Abreu of course should, and will probably always, dominate an event like this, and for those of us who have come to know Bobby, it is far from shocking. He is purely a fantasy stud who obviously plays for only himself, and the All Star festivities are simply the perfect stage for him to showcase his meaningless, “won’t win ball games but will light up the box score” talent. Man it’s so great that he did this, because he just refreshed his supply of “get out of meaningful hit free” cards with the media. I guess he thought they were catching on to him or something. Well you’ll never pull the wool over my eyes Bobby. I’m on to you. Maybe right now is the time to start an internet petition to trade Bobby Abreu. I will call it “Bobby Abreu… Trade him now because we all saw what Patrick Ewing accomplished didn’t we?” Hmm, I think I have a task for when I get home. I’m still nauseas they didn’t trade him for Vlad when they had the chance. Friggin Wade.
