Go Barry

Quick Notes On last Nights Games

1) Yanks, um how did they score 14 runs with that trash lineup they put together last night. I played cards last night with the cousin so I didnt watch the game just kept on walking into the room and seeing the game was getting closer by the second. Guess I missed a good one. Too bad the walk off homer was against one of my closers. Oh well go Yanks.

2) When I got back from playing cards it was around 12:45 and the Suns third quarter was just ending. Ya that's right the 3rd quarter. Apparently it was a really really good game.

3) All 3 NJ Net fans are upset today. Poor guys.

4) How pissed off would you be if you became the fastest human being ever and then a day later someone told you "Whoops I wasnt supposed to round that way." Now he's only one of the fastest humans ever.

5) Is there anything cooler than plays at the plate in baseball? I really don't think so. Whether it be Jorge getting barrelled over or Patty Burrell barehanding a ball in the outfield and gunning out JJ Hardy (who sprained his ankle on the slide) at the plate. I love it.

7) I am making it official, I am rooting for Barry Bonds. The sooner he passes Ruth the better, I'm sick of Sportscenter tailoring every episode to Bonds.

8) Well that or a season ending injury would also be fabulous.

After Bonds passes Ruth, I wonder how much of SportsCenter will be about if Pujols can break Bonds single season record.

You ever go to www.baseball-reference.com It's a great baseball reference sight. When I interned at Cooperstown we used it all the time.

Last comment, I like your site. Keep up the goodwork.

Ya I go there all the time. I went there two days ago actually to see what possible record I could forsee Pujols breaking because someone on the radio dropped Hack Wilson's 191 RBIs out there. No way on that record. I think he'll end up in the top 5 in Extra Base Hits in a season, somewhere are around 106. And he'll be up there on the list of Total Bases in a season. Both of these assume they don't give him the Bonds treatment.

How did you intern at Cooperstown? That must have been SICK.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
