That was the first time I've seen a stadium cheer for someone to lose. I was at the Derby last night and the crowd was dead silent when Tejada started hitting his 15 in round 2. Then when Palmero got up, they cheered on the outs. It was rather interesting.
But boy o boy did the crowd go NUTS when Berkman got up and started jacking them. The electricity behind him was amazing. I had such a blast. Too bad he struggled in the final round, it would have been pretty nice to see the reserve home-town hero win the Derby.
