Chump O' da Day: Gary Sheffield

Ah, Gary and his wonderful mouth. The Yankees are apparently picking up his option with the idea of trading him, for who knows what. However, the great man that Gary is he's starting to go off and say his typical things that make no sense. Last year he reported that the Yankees were picking up his option, which was immediately followed by Brian Cashman coming out and saying that he said no such thing, and Gary whining like a little baby.

Well now that the Yankees have picked up his option he is back at his normal whining, apparently saying that he does not want to play one year in the Bronx and that he does not want to play first. And if he gets traded he's not going to be happy.

Shut Up Gary. You negotiated your contract, you put on the option year. Just because you are in the last year of a contract does not mean the team has to give you an extension. That's not how it works you signed a contract for so many years and you have to abide by it. Not only are you bitching over nothing, but you are decreasing your trade value with each breath and at the same time increasing the likelihood that the Yanks want to get rid of you.

Here we go Gary, you've made millions upon millions of dollars. You're coming off a season where you only played 2 months. You just got a 13 million dollar option picked up. And you're going to be 38 at the start of the 07 season. Did you ever remotely think that maybe just maybe you don't deserve an extension. Probably not because you are in fact Gary Sheffield.

Gary Sheffield is a whiny piece of shit and all the frontrunner bullshit Yankee fans deserve his pathetic act.

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...
