Examining the Home Run Derby Curse
2007-07-10 19:56:00 Is the ?Home Run Derby Curse? real? In the past two years, both David Wright and Bobby Abreu experienced major second half power outages after impressive performances in the Home Run Derby (Abreu won the event while Wright finished second to Ryan Howard). The post All-Star break home run struggles of Wright and Abreu led many to question whether success in the Derby has an adverse effect on a player?s power stroke once he returns to regular game action, as he would be trying too hard to hit homers rather than relying on his natural swing. On Monday?s 411, Mike and Cory briefly discussed this subject. Here?s a closer look. Below you?ll find pre and post All Star break stats for both the Home Run Derby winners and runner ups over the past five years. Keep in mind that the break is slightly more than halfway into the season, so first half HR and RBI numbers will often be greater regardless of any ?curse.? 2006 Ryan Howard Pre ASB: .278 AV...

Home Run Derby: Much Hype About Nothing
2007-07-10 19:11:00 The Home Run Derby last night was missing something. The wow factor was missing since nobody really got untracked that much and if they did they did it for one round. Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder fizzled out fast in the competition. Alex Rios made a name for himself in the second round but

Home Run Derby/Late Night Open Thread
2007-07-10 02:43:00 Gah. Chris Berman, Dusty Baker, Joe Morgan, and Kenny Mayne in a kayak. Why don't they just bring out Gene Keady and Dick Cheney and make my evening complete? I'm cheering for Ryan Howard (even though I really don't care about the stupid HR Derby, but it's pouring outside and there's nothing better on), because, through the magic of his Subway commercials, I discovered that he was adorable. I just want to add that Barry Bonds has the most hilarious, highest voice I've ever heard on someone on roids. Hahahahahahahaha. It's Monday night. . . and this is your open thread.
Home Run Derby Live Blog
2007-07-10 01:40:00 4:32 PM. Hi, folks, this is your sunburned correspondent coming to you again from AT&T Park. We have one unfortunate constraint to work against tonight, which is that the auxiliary press box in left field features an obstructed view of everything from to the left of the 421 sign in right-center … so I’m going to be watcing a lot of the action from the TV monitor, just like you are. Prince Fielder looked the loosest in BP today. He’s going to win this thing. In an unrelated note, I’m pretty sure that the Washington Nationals mascot was designed to scare little children. 5:06 PM. We were just “treated” to a performance by the Counting Crows. I thought this was a small price to pay for being able to watch the derby without having to listen to Chris Berman. But alas, Boomer is booming out at 120 decibels over the PA system. 5:20 PM. As you watch Justin Morneau, keep in mind that for all the “Splash Hit” type, lefties are at roughly a...

Re: Barry Bonds NOT in Home Run Derby
2007-07-09 22:15:00 Personally, I think Bonds doesn't want to participate because a) if he performs poorly it will distract from his record quest and b) if the event truly wears his old body out then he may be hurting his chances of reaching the record, or at least doing ...

Linkage
2007-07-09 21:46:00 The best of Monday sports blogs around the internet, along with this picture of Christina Aguilera, which is one of my all-time favorites. I post this because she just announced she is pregnant, and will soon be a mom with a kid, which means she loses some of her hotness - until she gets old enough to be crowned a MILF. Anyway, enjoy...- Hilarious video/audio of a woman freaking out when her kid gets into a fight at a hockey game. Language is NSFW, so be warned. (100% Injury Rate)- The Homerun Derby is lame this year. Apparently, Alex Rios doesn't inspire confidence. (Winning the Turnover Battle)- Will LSU head coach Les Miles be the next coach at Michigan? (The Wizard of Odds)- The Dodgers sent PMS to the All-Star Game, literally. (Bugs and Cranks)- Broadcasters who have been in trouble with the law. Kirk Herbstreit really should have stayed away from that truck filled with button down shirts. (The Sports Hernia)- Eric Byrnes has a misshaped head, and he dives too much, but his on...
