The Moras: Fans of Verbal Diarrhea

So a few weeks following his father's mumblings about how Mike Vick is a coach killer now Jim Mora the younger comes out and says he would leave the Falcon's during a playoff run to go coach his alma mater, the University of Washington. What in the world is he thinking, does he want his job, why exactly in midseason is he doing radio shows with his buddies in Seattle anyway. If there's one thing this proves its that the classic verbal blowup is definately in Jimmie's genes.

While Mora is coming out and saying that he was joking about all of the statements, and if you hear the commentary it's pretty ludicrous, but as I always say joking is just an excuse for things you say. Anything the you say in a 'joking' manner has something behind it, and while I doubt he would leave the Falcons during the middle of the season, I would be willing to wager large amounts of cash that if that Washington job does open up at some point, he will slip his name into the hat. On top of that, who uses the words "I'm dead serious" while joking about something, come on Jim how stupid do you think we are. Maybe the Moras should look into a muzzle, and while their at it get one for T.O. please.

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.
