Random Thoughts

~Robinson Cano cost me exactly 33 dollars last night and he is on my fantasy team. I kept Cabrera on my roster hoping he'd get me some much neeed strikeouts and low and behold he's in the 9th with a no-hitter with one out and facing another player on my fantasy team in Robby. Now a no hitter gets me 3 bucks from each player in the league, and would thus pay for the non-stop activate dl activate dl kerry wood spree i went on earlier this year. But no Robby's got to line one into right.

~Peetey is done for the year and the Mets are screwed. I'm sorry but you aren't winning the world series with a rotation of ancient pitchers and John Maine who couldnt even crack to Oreos rotation last year. You might be able to get there, I'm doubting that now even, but you're gonna get pounded if you do.

~I think the TO day was the single most depressing day I've ever listened to the radio at work. 8 hours of people calling up telling the radio host why they thought about committing suicide, or doctors analyzing why he might want to commit suicide, basically suicide this suicide that. Man was I down on life when I left work on wednesday.

~If the Cardinals finalize their collapse this weekend I think it would be the single most hilarious sporting story of this year. I mean basically all they had to do was beat the Astros once in Houston and this is done and dead.

~The Phillies are king chokers, they lost again last night to the Nationals who have nothing to play for and whose manager reportedly will not be asked back next year. Philadelphia is basically Loserville, USA. So congrats to the Dodgers for being in a race with the Phils, you can't lose.

~Mike Tyson said he was useless to the world and that him going on his world tour is because he has no money. No shit. I can't believe people still will pay money to watch him.

~It's amazing that Chad, king trash-talker, is a model citizen for the Bengals and everyone else is getting arrested, shows you that some of these guys aren't really assholes off the field their just a show. Although, I do think Chad is hilarious and probably a cool guy to chill with.

~Why did Hockey start already? Wasn't it still summer last week? That season is too long for no reason.

~Bonzi Wells signed with the Rockets, not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing didn't see the contract length/value. He'll help them score but they still really need a point guard.

~Tiger is unstoppable he's already opened a 5 stroke lead after two days, he can't lose anymore.

~If the Jets win sunday I'm going streaking. They certainly aren't getting any love from Vegas, 9 1/2 point dogs at home, damn.

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...

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...
