Josh Hamilton steals the show at HRD

Josh Hamilton went from the number one overall pick in the baseball draft, to millionaire, to suspended form baseball, and out of the game for nearly four years because of a drug addiction he could not kick.  Well Josh has come full circle and is in his first All Star game this year.  He participated in the Home Run Derby tonight at Yankee Stadium and stole the show even though he failed to take home the crown.  Josh’s tape measure shots in the first found totaled nearly three full miles in d read

Josh Hamilton - Home Run dream comes true

Months after successfully overcoming drug and alcohol addiction and just before being reinstated by Major League Baseball, Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton had a vivid dream involving Yankee Stadium. “I had a dream before I got back into baseball. … I was at a Home Run Derby and it happened to be at Yankee Stadium,” said Hamilton, who stepped foot into the House That Ruth Built for the first time Monday as the Rangers began a three-game set against the Yankees. “It was kind of weird - H read

Josh Hamilton Breaks HRD Record…Still Loses in End.

I like his story. But I’m happy he didn’t win. I love it when the guy ESPN keeps telling us will win, loses. Congratulations to Justin Morneau! Good God Peter Gammons just said that this Derby will make everyone forget the Mitchell Report.  Please tell me he wasn’t serious? And, honestly, if Rick Reilly loses his ability to speak any time soon…I’ll be thrilled. read

Okay We Realize His Agent Is Pitching To Him

If Chris Berman made one more comment about Ryan Braun’s agent pitching to him in the First Round of the Home Run Derby, I might have injected myself with severe painkillers.  If you read MLB.com, you already knew going into this derby of home runs that Braun’s agent, Nez Balelo of CAA, would be tossing strikes to the young Milwaukee Brewers Jewish power hitter.  P.S. - Josh Hamilton is a beast. Enjoy the video below. read

What this year’s home run derby has taught me (thus far).

(Mind you, the damn thing isn’t over yet as I begin writing this. I might be able to add more by the end of the night.) 1. If the league stocks up on ex-drug addicts the world will be a better place. 2. Only the best players play for the New York Yankees. Apparently, all of the other players in the league suck. 3. A “Bronx Cheer” is a GOOD thing. (WTF Chris Berman?) 4. Ryan Howard should have been invited to participate because he’s black. 5. It’s totally reasonable to compare home runs hi read

The Times take on The New Yorker cover

The New Yorker cover that normally brings only admiring glances has this week been subject to a huge amount of debate - most of it critical. The cover pictures the Obamas in the Oval Office dressed as their worst enemies would imagine them. The Obama campaign has declared itself offended. Are they right? We've done a Comment Central ring round. Daniel Finkelstein: I see what the cartoonist was trying to do. I realise it was satire. But I quite understand why the Obama camp was not amused read

Judging a magazine by its cover

In a new issue that will hit newsstands today, the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza has an interesting piece on the political identity Barack Obama forged in Chicago. It’s 15,000 words long, and adds details and insights I haven’t seen anywhere else. But before anyone gets to the article, there’s the issue of the magazine’s cover to deal with. As he flies around the country, Senator Barack Obama has a fondness for magazines. The New Yorker is often among the titles at the front of his campaign plane. read

More on the New Yorker Cover By Jeff Fecke | July 14, 2008 Ampersand thinks that I’m being overly concerned about what other people think, asking, “do you really think that all liberals should base what we say on whether or not the stupidest people in the world could misunderstand?” Well…that depends. It depends on where the discussion is taking place, and in what context. In the context of an election in which Barack and Michelle Obama have been the targets of a rash of vile smears, I do read
