St. Louis Cardinals All-Star Game Moments: Jim Edmonds And Home Run Derby Angst

I can't be sure about this—it could just be that we're an anxious fanbase in general—but I think we handle the Home Run Derby worse than the average team, and I think it's because we had to watch Jim Edmonds, the baseball-player-equivalent of a European supercar with a transmission made from hand-blown glass and one solid block of sculpted ice, hurt himself participating in one. In 2003 Jim Edmonds came into the All-Star Break hitting .303/.398/.668 with 28 home runs; afterward, .214/.357/.507, with 11 home runs. The difference, for those of us who obsess over this sort of thing, between a he-really-is-a-Hall-of-Famer season and another brilliant, under-the-radar Edmonds peak year.
So instead of a Jose Bautista season, we Hall of Fame-watchers were left with a semi-final performance and eight Derby-homers—admittedly, and for what it's worth, as beautiful as any other Jim Edmonds home runs.
The Cardinals' Home Run Derby past, after the jump:
1985: Jack Clark hits two home runs in the inaugural derby. He finished last among National League contestants, but could take some consolation from the fact that no other member of the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals ever hit two home runs in a season.
1997: Ray Lankford finishes with two home runs, while noted Cardinal Tino Martinez pulls away with 16. Can we talk one more time about how great Lankford was through the first half of 1997? .333/.427/.646, 17 home runs, 15 stolen bases. Only a regular Ray Lankford half-season afterward, though—Curse of the Home Run Derby!
1998-99: Mark McGwire! I miss your home run swing so much! Ken Griffey, Jr., won both of these, shortly before he was replaced by the nearly indistinguishable Anthony Dean Griffey, Jr.
2003: Pujols takes a narrow loss to Garret Anderson, of all people, while Jim Edmonds breaks my heart forever.
2007-09: Pujols participates in the midst of the worst season of his career to date, gets into the semi-finals, and then puts together a second-half 160 points higher, in line with his career averages. Say—it's almost as though this isn't about the Home Run Derby at all, and is more about the derby being a magnet for flukey half-seasons, most of them negative, all of them resolved by the end of the year. But of course not.
2010: Matt Holliday has a basically reasonable Home Run Derby round and reminds everyone that he is actually just a kind of superpowered line drive hitter.

Consider Weeks the least-deserving participant in the NL. Plus, they’re angry that Fielder picked at teammate.
Although I guess I could be wrong about this. I’m a Diamondback fan, and for all I know, we could have a long-standing rivalry with the Brewers that no one’s told me about.

All his doctor could come up with yesterday when he checked in with my wife and I was that Connor is growing. Nothing else wrong at all.

I thought Matt was great last year
Once he settled down he got in a little groove. I think he was on nerve a bit. However, with Yadi pitching tonight, who knows what could happen.
I fully believe the reason Albert didn’t do so great in 2009 was because McKay didn’t pitch to him. When I heard McKay was going to and then backed out on Holliday, I had a sad, but then saw Yadi would pitch and almost lost it.

Bog’s been worth almost 8 fwar in ~1700 PA (granted, whatever change they made at fangraphs boosted that a ton in the last week or so). But he’s clearly not crappy.
Nor was David Eckstein, who was worth almost 20 fWAR in his career.

not sure, I just remember that rumor
Jim Edmonds traded to Yankees for Robinson Cano and Chien-Ming Wang. Sure, it’s a staggering idea at first. Considering defense, Edmonds is still unquestionably the best center fielder in baseball even at age 35. He’s under contract for $12MM in 2006, and the Cards do have a need for a second baseman and a cheap young starter. Before you call me a crazy, evil Rumor Monger (that’s a half-truth), remember that St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz originated the rumor.

actually sensory nerves for temperature can be fooled quite easily
If one hand is placed in warm water and the other is placed in cold water, the temperature receptors will adapt and become less sensitive
After adaptation, if both hands are placed in lukewarm water, the hand originally in warm water will feel cold, and the hand originally in cold water will feel warm

tony la russa promises that, in the event the cardinals win the WS in 2011
He will prevail on bud selig to introduce the “gritty infield single derby” in which select “all-grit all stars” will try to beat out hits against a la russa selected infield (early betting surrounds willie bloomquist, miguel cairo, skip schumaker, aaron miles, and craig counsell).
Anyone hitting the ball out of the infield on the fly will be disqualified.
Players will be evaluated on an elaborate point system, in which reaching base safely plays a significant role, but other factors, such as playing the game the right way, being under 5’10", total dirt on the uniform, style, and sliding headfirst into first base can also win the player points.

Oh wow, had no idea you'd been married before
This is going on a little bit of a tangent, but so many of my friends are approaching marriage so fucking wrong I can’t handle it. They think getting married solves problems, or prevents problems, or something, but it’s stupid. One of my friends was talking about moving in with her boyfriend, and I asked who was more reluctant. She said, “He is… he’s just seen a lot of his friends, who were on track to get married, move in together and ruin their relationship, so he doesn’t want to do that to us”
…THAT’S WHY YOU FUCKING DO THAT BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED. Same thing with sex. If I’m marrying somebody, I want to know as much as possible about them before I go into it. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of marrying somebody, not knowing how we interact when we live togehter, and not knowing what our sex life is like
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!' -- Whittier

yeah, I agree with both parts:
-A lot of people move bad relationships FORWARD in attempts to make it better. To an extent, that’s what happened to me when I was 21.
-And yeah, personally I don’t understand how people can get married without having lived together. Same with sex life. I think current generations have a much healthier idea about these things.

Here's where I sound like a really old school midwestern Bible thumper
My wife and I didn’t live together before we got married. We didn’t have sex either before we got married. We did date for four years and spend a ridiculous amount of time together. We’ve been married 10 years and going strong.
I think that people don’t take the time to really get to know anyone anymore. It’s all about the hook up and on to the next person. I don’t think getting to know someone requires either living together or sex before marriage but I don’t judge people who do it that way.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!' -- Whittier

If you don't know someone well enough after dating for several years
to get married to them then you shouldn’t be getting married in the first place. I think the issue is that lots of people decide to get married after six months or something and they have no clue about the person they are marrying at all.
My wife and I dated for 4 years before we got married. The only thing I “left up to chance” I guess is whether or not we’d have a good sex life. I can’t say that whether or not we’d have a good sex life ever really entered my mind though. Just like anything else in a relationship it’s about caring about your partner and being willing to communicate.
by WizardofOz1982 on Jul 12, 2011 10:58 AM EDT up reply actions
There are different ways to do this successfully, of course.
But in the end, I do think that knowing what it’s like to live with someone before getting married is some really good extra information.
I also don’t think that people don’t take the time to get to know each other anymore. The average age of marriage is going up and up. I think, if anything, people are less likely to marry due to expectations, etc., and more likely to get married on their own terms.

Good for them, and they’re clearly going to make more money than I will, but it just sounds so depressing to work for that big of a firm.

From strauss story
McClellan carries no such caveat. He has, however, voiced a strong preference for his current role.
“Obviously, someone that has done both roles is an asset,” Mozeliak said. “He’s proven to have high value in the bullpen. If were able to land a significant starter, (returning to relief) would be viable option.”
Said pitching coach Dave Duncan: “The only thing that would make you think that way (with McClellan) would be if his performances made you think that way. I certainly wasn’t thinking that way in April and May. But here in July he hasn’t been quite the same pitcher.”
