MidWeek MLB Quicknotes

~Wow Curt Schilling is annoying. Does he have to comment on everything known to mankind? Does he seriously have an opinion on anything, even his manager is going on radio shows telling him to shut up. Yes, everyone thinks he tooks steroids, but he certainly never came out and admitted it. Just another case of Curt shooting his mouth off. I don't think I could deal with him in a Yankee uniform. I would much prefer a guy who never talks.

~Felipe Lopez is off his major schnide of not hitting HRs, thankfully, he took my boy Bush's pitch over the fence last night and hit another one today. Too bad the Nats didn't win either game and the Brew crew remain the hottest team in baseball.

~Josh Beckett gets buckets worth of run support every single game. Boo to that.

~Someone in on of my leagues just dropped Paul Konerko, I know he had a terrible first month but seriously? You're going to drop him?

~Barry Bonds is 10 away, can someone please just drill him somewhere, or can he please pull a hammy.

~Carl Pavano is seeing as many doctors as possible to convince the Yanks he needs Tommy John surgery, ha. Cashman is doing the opposite. Tha Yanks should just force him to try to rehab for the whole season before deciding he needs tommy john, atleast sabotage some of his years when he won't be on the yanks.

~Ugh I'm tired...

I heard the giants had been in contact with marty miller in the past few days. They are currently trying to agree on contract incentives and whether or not he has to travel with the team on days he doesn't work.

I think the yanks should donate Carl Pavano to charity and get a tax write off. Make him be the mascot for the games or something. At least he would be doing something good then.

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...
