Cooperate, weather. Cooperate!
Annually one of the most fun nights of the year – I don’t care what anyone says – the Home Run Derby starts tonight at 7pm CT on ESPN. Consider this your open thread to watch, enjoy, and all that good stuff.
The Cubs have two players in the field, and they will totally meet in the finale:

The Derby has been overhauled this year, so if you haven’t read up on the new rules, make sure to inform yourself here. And there’s one change tonight, presumably, in response to the inclement weather that could show up at any time:
