My All Star Ballot

Well the All Star Game reserves are announced tonight sometime during the TNT double header which I'm sure everyone will be tuned into. Here's my choices for the All Star Rosters...

The Suck Conference aka East

PG: Agent Zero,
SG: Dwyane Wade, no brainer.
SF: LBJ, ditto.
PF: Chris Bosh,
Psuedo C: Jermaine O'Neal, leads league in blocks, Pacers would suck w/o him.

Reserve G: Jason Kidd, having a solid season.
Reserve G: Vince Carter, VC moved into the spot with some buzzer beaters.
Reserve G: Joe Johnson, can't ignore the Hawks every year.
Reserve F: Caron Butler, most underrated player in the league.
Reserve F: Luol Deng, flying under the radar.
Reserve C: Eddy Curry, like the humour of a Knick making the all star game.
Reserve C: Dwight Howard, leads East in Rebounds.

Notes: I got no Pistons. Rip doesn't do anything but score, Billups missed some time, Rasheed no dice. Ya no Pistons. The East squad is much worse than the West Squad.

The All Powerful Conference aka West

PG: Steve Nash, ridiculous he's not a starter.
SG: Kobe Bryant, no real need to explain.
SF: Dirk Nowitzki, same as Nash.
PF: Kevin Garnett, ditto to Kobe.
Psuedo C: Tim Duncan, ditto to Kobe/Garnett

Reserve G: T-Mac, carrying Rockets without Yao.
Reserve G: Josh Howard, must reward the 2nd best player on the best team.
Reserve G: Deron Williams, second in the league in assists + 17 points per.
Reserve F:Shawn Marion,
Reserve F: Carmelo Anthony, was thinking about bouncing him, but decided against it.
Reserve F: Zach Randolph, every all star game needs weed.
Reserve Psuedo C: Amare, I can't put Marcus Camby in the all star game.

Notes: Boozer is out for 5/6 weeks so no point in listing him. Ditto Yao. Bounced AI, just didn't feel like the 20 games was enough.

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...
