A Letter to Ryan Succop from Gator Nation

Dear Ryan,

As you may have noticed, yesterday our beloved Florida Gators were selected to play in the National Championship much to the delight of all over Florida and those folks who despised the thought of an all Big 10 final. First we would like to congratulate you on a terrific season all around for the Gamecocks, missing only 4 kicks throughout the whole season, good job, you are a first rate kicker.

We are writing you to whole heartedly thank you for your efforts in making our national title hopes a reality, without you, Ryan, we quite possibly could be headed to the Outback Bowl or some other meaningless bowl kind of like the Rose Bowl. For your efforts in missing three kicks in the Swamp we would like to name you an Honorary Member of the soon to be National Championship Florida Gators. I know it seems odd to be a member of two teams from the same conference, but you have been as essential to the Title Run as any other player in the country and it would be unfair if you went unrecognized with your great accomplishments.

Thanks for your Help,
Gator Nation

P.S. If you could talk Aaron Pettrey about methods to drive low kicks into the arms Jarvis Moss we might even throw in a Nation Title Ring. Oh and Jarvis says hi, and thanks for making him a house hold name in Gainesville.

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...
