Celebrate, Mets fans: Chase Utley to compete in HR Derby

It's music to my ears: Chase Utley will be one of players participating in the 2008 Home Run Derby.

Pardon me while I take a few minutes for some diabolical laughing.

OK, I'm back. We all saw what happened to David Wright after his stint in the HR Derby, and as Mets fans, we can only hope the same sort of funk sets in with Utley for the rest of the 2008 season.

Dan Uggla will be competing as well.

This is great. What more can we ask, as Mets fans? Oh, taking three out of four from the Phillies in Philadelphia, that's right.
