Great. Just put them on a Sports Illustrated cover now, why don'tcha?

The Home Run derby is bad luck?

Each year, fans look forward to the Home Run Derby even if managers of the competing players often cringe. While the derby usually lights up the night, statistics show it is the catalyst for a second-half power outage.

...In looking at the 40 finalists and semi-finalists over the past 10 years, statistics show 60 percent of players saw a decrease in slugging percentage. Of those 24 players, nine suffered what can be considered a major loss of power (-0.100 in slugging percentage). In comparison only two players gained that much in slugging percentage.

They have charts. Great.

Two Brewers starters - Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks - are in the home run derby this year, which...isn't that about to start?
