What's a home run derby?
Are you sure Morneau is pronounced with the accent on the 2nd syllable? The announcer for the all-star game is pronouncing it with the accent on the 1st syllable (and doesn't one of the Twins announcers do that too?)
seriously, it's driving me crazy
and he just won the all-star game! (finally!) -- well, he didn't hit the winning ball, but ran across home plate just in time :) -- way to go, justin! :D
when they announced that he won, they called him jason. clearly announcers know nothing. it is mor-NEAU.
the home run derby is an exhibition the day before the all-star game. 8 guys (4 from each league) try to hit as many homeruns as they can (i'm not sure how many chances they get - but whoever hits the most in the 3rd round wins), just for fun.
i am so impressed that you watched the whole game! i gave up at 11 (i would've made it through the whole thing, but that doesn't work when you get up at 5). it was 4hrs 50min. you rock! :)
ok, kim, you have to settle this because you're canadian. is it morNEAU or MORneau? mel & i insist that it's the former, but all the announcers say it the other way.
If he's pronouncing his name in the traditional French way, it would be morNEAU. Otherwise it starts to sound Italian. However, I have no idea how he pronounces it.
not all the announcers do. bert says it correctly, as did one of the guys who commentated last sat. and justin says it mor-NEAU, and i think he would neau best. plus also, like i tell my father, it emphasizes the NEAU to remind me that i should say more 'no's to him than 'yes's. ;)
'neau best' ha ha ha
geek :P
(that was meant to mel, btw, not hobbitsister:)
i figured that, since i'm not a geek :)
yes you are. but i know i deserved that one. :)
