Quick Notes: Drugs Drugs and More Drugs

Professional Wrestling an Steroids, who knew? Apparently there are 11 professional wrestlers now attached to the HGH scandal in Florida. I certainly am enjoying how all of these people are coming out and saying that they did not take it blah blah blah. Or John Rocker saying he had a prescription because he was coming back from a shoulder injury and needed to down some HGH to heal. Gary Matthews denied it because his owner told him to. Holyfield had hormonal defiiciency. It's all just so laughable to me.

On another front Ritalin is the prime drug for students around the country. Luckily for myself I just didn't care enough to attempt to pull all nighters in college. Once midnight struck my books went down regardless of how much was finished, and personally I think thats the way it should be. If you can't budget your time enough to finish stuff you shouldn't down red bulls and ritalin to do your work. And if you do, why do you care that much? You realize overachieving in college doesn't mean all that much when your 26 27, all they will care about is what you've done in the working world. Stop caring so much and start drinking.

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...
