A Few Weird and Moronic Occurences

1. At the University of Northern Colorodo the backup punter was arrested on second-degree assault charges. Why because he stabbed the first string punter in the leg. Now I've heard of motivation to start, and bitterness of losing a starting position battle but to take it that far, and a punter out of all people a punter. Was he upset with his social standing, did he think that he was going to get all of the glorious hairy mountain beasts called ladies in Northern Colorodo. Or was his affair with the first string punter ruined by his jealousy and in a raged hissy fit he took out a knife and stabbed his former lovers most important appendage. Oh the mystery.

2. Roy Williams, the lions receiver, might be the best mathmetician on the planet. Not only did he come out and guarantee he was going to beat the Bears, a much better team, but he comes out and says that the Lions offense is unstoppable, and to top it all off he says they were stupid close to scoring 40 points against the Seahawks this weekend. They scored 6. Thats apparently within his range, anything within 34 is stupid close, so I was stupid close to hitting 35 varsity home runs in high school, Carl Pavano is stupid close to being a 20 game winner, I think if you ask Roy he can verify all those things.

3. Jerry Porter has certainly had an interesting few months at the Raiders facilities first he goes off about how he wants more money at the start of camp, then week 1 he's inactive and seen on the sideline laughin on a play when Aaron Brooks got sacked (meaning he was laughing at some point when the raiders had the ball, cause brooks got sacked on every play), then he denies cheering for that play, his excuse "I wasn't paying attention to the game." Talk about a guy that needs to be kicked out of town. First off Jerry, you're not very good, second off, do you think before you speak, did you ever think maybe there was a better excuse than dude i wasn't even watching.

4. To further the glomy mood that permenantly permeates the Kansas City Royals clubhouse, after the an inning ending strike by pitcher Runelvys Hernandez, Hernandez and catcher John Buck got into a heated exchange in the dugout and even threw punches at each other. Quite Humurous. The two actually both stayed in the game after the incident and somehow they won yet again on Tuesday Night. Where they've won 4 friggin weeks in a row and spoiled a pick 4 weeks in a row. So now, bet on the Royals on Tusday Nights its the Royale w/Cheese night of the week, and if you ever see a pitcher and catcher get into a fist fight mid game, they're going to win, I can say this because I've done a massive study where I was stupid close to seeing this happen 35 times.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
