Hamilton's problem is ....

God.

Wtf is this religious shit. No wonder he choked.

After the 15th HR, he looked golden.

Then after the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 25th, 26th, etc you just start to wonder will fatigue be a factor. It definitely was for his 71yo pitcher who was not riding the same adrenaline high he was.

And ultimately, it was that high which let him down, poetic justice almost for a guy with his background?

So many more important things in this world than winning a HR derby ... too bad you can't see that.

He and his pitcher seemed to be gassed. Think he finished with only 2 or 3 homers in the finals.

That sucks. Where did Uggla finish?

1st round exit.

The 4 that made it to semis were Braun, Morneau, Berkman, and Hamilton. Although Hamilton had clinched finals and didn't do anything in semis other than take a few practice swings.

Now let's see if he goes Abreu in the 2nd half of the season as well. Hope he enjoyed the spotlight, could F his season.

Oh yes. Abreu dropped off big time after that Derby outburst.

[Stacocakes]

Ya its a very conveniant way for a player to explain his slump if he just blames it on the all star game

[jjgold]

I think he just tired
