Stuck Pissin

I'm all for getting pissed off after you suck, well unless it leads to you burning your equipment postgame that's just plain nutty, but a little slamming of the door or smashing locker I'm all for it. You should be ticked that you just sucked it up and a little rage on an inanimate object doesn't hurt anyway.

Well I guess there's a case where it does. Mobile BayBears relieve Matt Elliot gave up the game tieing run in the 8th to the Montgomery Biscuits and vented a little bit causing the game to be delayed for 8 minutes. What could possibly delay the game? Well Mr. Elliot went to the bathroom and slammed the door shut with such vigor that the door broke and he was stuck in there. After 8 minutes of attempting to get him the BayBears gave up and sent out a different pitcher who gave up the game winning run. Classic.

Meanwhile, Elliot was stuck on the can for a total of 47 minutes just sitting there and waiting while stadium personal pried at the door. Hopefully for his sake that can, didn't smell anything like the last porto potty I went in, where I think 47 minutes would have resulted in death or at minimum minor brain damage and temporary memory loss.

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...
