If you look up in the left hand corner you will notice that the picture of the Keg Logo (which I need to get back up there) is gone and that I have send me hate mail, and if you browse even further down the left column you will notice there's an addition to Contributors. What someone other than Simon writing? Well not quite yet.

As sometimes you can tell by what can be poor grammar or miss-spellings or other stuff, I am completely averse to proof reading. I write the shit, I look at it while I'm writing it and that's it and occasionally I'll get yelled at for poor grammar, that guy was a loser.

Well after much protesting and begging and mentioning that he's getting hives occasionally; Millsy aka Papa Bear will serve as the token proof reader guy. Granted he'll probably proof read and edit after each post is already up, but he really wants to do it. I have no idea why, proofreading is equivalent to cricket to me, but who am I to argue. Perhaps if he earns his dues I'll even let him post his own views on something. Perhaps.

So I suggest that you send Millsy tons of hate mail daily at Millsy52@gmail.com

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...
