Braun leads the NL in HR's (22)

Kemp yesterday picked himself (12), Giancarlo Stanton (19), Carlos Beltran(20) and Carlos Gonzalez (17) to represent the NL in the HR contest.

Salty over MVP much?

I really don't think it is that big of a deal, Braun has been in it enough. The Carlos Gonzalez one may be the ony questionable pick.

Kemp and Braun are friends, Braun made it sound like it wasn't a big deal. I doubt he wanted to be under that spotlight after everything that happened last winter anyway.

It's not a big deal.

Prince is going to win it anyway.

Prince is the only reason I will watch. I'm excited to see his kids again, they are so cute

Maybe the Brewers will draft one of them in about 10 or 12 years. That would be awesome.

Braun in the past said he wouldn't do it again.

Giancarlo Stanton will be another reason to watch. He hits some absolute monster bombs.

No, he didn't.

He said it wouldn't bother him if he was not chose to participate because it's "more fun to watch".

I don't care if you're average fan dan or informed fan stan, Braun being in the derby is cool to all fans. Informed fan will sit back and say "ahh it's just a dog and pony show yadda yadda...." but they will still be watching and even informed fan #1 who spends their days alone, pooping on average fan dan, will jump up and mark out if Braun were to win the HR derby.

It's a legit snub. Spin it as nothing all you want.

No it's not.

You know, it's little things like this that clearly show players in baseball really hate Braun. You have to wonder if that will affect his performance as the season goes along. The off-season is really catching up to him now, guys.

Is it ironic that Braun is replacing Kemp in the AS game?

Wouldn't it be funny if Braun would win the MVP again...on a non-contending Brewer team?

Or too many fans try to make something out of nothing. He'll be playing in the mid-summer classic, that'll be cool, he won't hit in the batting practice derby, oh well. Kemp didn't pick him.

BRAUN IS ONLY NOT IN THE HOMERUN DERBY CAUSE HE ISNT ON HIS STEROIDS ANYMORE SO HE CANT HIT HOMERUNS LOL CHEATER YEA

jk

He has 23 HR. Leads the league
Cant hit HR?????

CRAIGRICK is not what you'd call, the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He is not a fan of punctuation.

you're a smart one aren't you?
