Weekly Waste of Oxygen

It's certainly been an interesting week for people that suck, from the horrible finals to admitting to herpes to screwing a 15 year old girl and getting caught here's the rundown of people who have the chance to come home with the week's biggest waste of oxygen award:

1. David Chase - With the Soprano's coming to an end, who let down on this planet more than David Chase with a relatively uninspired, boring and uneventful series ender, which concluded with everyone thinking that their cable boxes malfunctioned at the worst possible moment.

2. David Stern - Congrats to David Stern for having a horrendous NBA Playoffs, NBA Finals and for all around just having a miserable few months of basketball. This just goes out for the combined efforts of David Stern to make the playoffs so unwatchable, all of his scheduling efforts to eliminate interest on the East Coast along with the delay between games in addition to his suspension of Diaw and Amare.

3. Justine Henin - So ever wonder what kind of person would give an interview post match or game and say that they were more worried about their Herpes flare up than their actual opponent? Well that kind of person is Justine Henin. Who apparently was quoted as saying that she had a horrible night because her Herpes came out again. Woo. I bet the guy who used to be the Hardenne in Henin-Hardenne is proud to let the world know that he may or may not have gotten Herpes from his former wife.

4. Naoya Kikuchi - Things not to do when you sleep with a 15 year old and you are a professional athlete: Leave your wallet in the basket of her bicycle. I think when the girl you're are screwing has a basket on her bicycle period you should rethink what you are about to do.


Who will you choose to follow in the footsteps of Gary Sheffield, our inaugural winner of the Weekly Waste of Oxygen?

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...
