I am so glad...
that no Cubs are in the HR derby. I don’t want anything to have an affect on the team in the second half. You know, like screw up their swing trying to win a silly contest that really only means more money for Bud Selig.

Actually I wouldn't mind a bit
if any of the other NL guys swings were messed up by swinging for the fences in a silly competition. I want the NL to win, but we won’t have to depend on Berkman, Braun, Uggla or Utley. Plenty of other guys on the team to help win it for the NL.

I disagree...
I have seen the results over the years since Selig brought back this fun, yet meaningless competition. More times than not, batters adjust their swing to hit BP fastballs out of the yard. Once you do something like this, you have to consciously change your swing, then change it back. You can have your opinion, but I’ve seen the results.

great article on espn.com (Olney I believe)
refuting the common misconception that the HR derby screws up its participants swings. Don’t have the link, but look it up. Interesting.
I am pulling for Utley, the lefty and the short porch. Pun intended.

examples?
besides Abreu, who’s not a HR hitter.
Last year’s HR derby champ: Guerrero. Pre-derby – 14 HR, .325 AVG. Post-derby – 13 HR, .323 AVG
2006 HR Derby champ: Howard. Pre-derby – 28 HR, .278 AVG. Post-derby – 30 HR, .355 AVG

Since you have facts to back up your assertion.
You are right, I am wrong. However, it stands to reason, when you are trying to hit home runs, that a batter would change his swing, and try to hit it harder. I stand by my assertion. You stand by your facts, I’ll stand by my opinion. I’m still glad that no Cubs are in it. I don’t want anything to mess with this season.

Here's some more "opinion"
David Wright: pre-Derby: 16 HR’s, .292 AVG. post-Derby: 14 HR’s, .364 AVG.
Alex Riox: pre-Derby: 17 HR’s, .294 AVG. post-Derby: 7 HR’s, .300 AVG.
Matt Holliday: pre-Derby: 15 HR’s, .341 AVG. post-Derby: 21 HR’s, .338 AVG.
Albert Pujols: pre-Derby: 16 HR’s, .310 AVG., post-Derby: 16 HR’s, .349 AVG.
Prince Fielder: pre-Derby: 21 HR’s, .293 AVG., post-Derby: 29 HR’s, .284 AVG.
Justin Morneau: pre-Derby: 24 HR’s, .295 AVG., post-Derby: 7 HR’s, .243 AVG.
The only player with a significant drop is Morneau, everyone stayed on average or got better after the all-star break. Rios dropped in power, but I think his 17 HR’s before the break was more out of line with is norms than his 7 HR’s after.
Sorry to keep at this, but I just hate when someone disagrees with me and says that its my opinions vs. their facts.

I kinda thought he would, but he does seem to have more power RH and will bat that way according to what I read. Maybe he'll change his mind.

Oneri Fleita on Sports Central
Top Prospect in the System: SP Jeff “Alphabet Shark” Samardzija
Second Mention: 3B Josh Vitters
Asked about Donald Veal: “Randy Johnson was one of those guys, left-handed hard-throwers just take longer than others. Veal shows flashes of brilliance at times, and signs that he’s still developing. Time will tell.”
Sean Gallagher: “A lot of us didn’t know where he’d end up. Right out of HS he could pitch in the Midwest League, that’s a good sign. His best days are ahead of him, no telling where he’ll end up. Tough decisions to make, but when you’re trying to win a World Series those are the decisions you have to make. Sometimes they help us, or they help us acquire guys like Rich Harden.”

“Kerry said today he wants the World Series home field advantage to go back to what it used to be, the best record. Well, Kerry, that’s not what it was, it alternated back and forth, irregardless of record!”
Well, Phil, irregardless isn’t a word, you moron.

Kerry's got a point...
.....80% of the players in the ASG won’t make it the WS. Another dumb Selig move.

what is pwn?

by IheartGeo on Jul 14, 2008 8:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
pwn
1. An act of dominating an opponent.2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.
Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled “Own” as “Pwn”. What was originally supose to be “player has been owned.” was “player has been pwned”.
Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.
1. “I pwn these guys on battlenet”2. “This strategy pwns!” or “This game pwn.”

"Evan Longoria, headed home. He hit like EVA Longoria."
Ugh. Hacky, hacky reference, Dave Kaplan. Just terrible.

agreed
everything about it is amazing. even without the drugs and attempted suicedes. Just the fact that he was out of baseball completely for so long and to be able to come back and hit big league pitching is harder than anyone could imagine

i just wanted to chime in real quick...
as much as ESPN is totally playing Hamilton up… I’m so a huge fan of this guy right now and this is one of the best shows I’ve seen since Burrell put like 41 up the other year… he will win this, and I hope he has an incredible season and comes back to the Cubs VERY soon ;-)
