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.

lew,

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

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
