Thursday Quicknotes

~Can we all just come to the reasonable conclusion that Mike Vick had a significant hand in the dog fighting ring. Friends are apparently saying that he did know about the dog fighting. How could you own a piece of property that's been breading 70 pit bulls without having the slightest idea of what is going on. You're not that dumb Ron Mexico.
~Do not live in Tennessee, I repeat do not live in Tennessee. It's a dixie state so I crossed it off the list long ago, but I'm sure Air McNair is very not pleased with receiving a DUI by being in the passenger seat and letting his brother-in-law drive him home from the bar. That blows.

~So I hate NASCAR, I think it's the most boring television you could ever watch, but occasionally I find NASCAR humorous, like today for instance when Dale Earnhardt Jr. is leaving Dale Earnhardt Incorporated leaving DEI with zero Dale Earnhardt's in the fold. Perhaps its just me but I think the mother needs to get a life, her son is the only one that can carry on his father's legacy, he deserves the majority ownership of the company, not you not anybody else, you just made a mockery of yourself and your late husband. It's pathetic, but it is very funny and amusing.

~The whole Derek Fisher deal last night where he came back from his daughter's surgery and just went in the game right away in the 3rd quarter without warming up at all was cool.

~Federer is scuffling approaching the French, he was just bounced by a no name in straight sets on clay. Might as well chalk another one down for Nadal in Paris.

~Why would a baseball team ever offer giving away a rectal exam for two tickets like the Brewers are doing (or did) I just don't get that.

The best part -

It's not Dale Jr.'s mother. It's Dale Sr.'s THIRD wife. So you can imagine how pissed off Jr. is.

The lesson as always: pre-nups and be very clear in your will.

No Shit, shows how much I know about NASCAR. Wow that makes it even more scummy, why in the world should she have the majority stake in the race car company. It would be apropos.

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...
