SimonOnSports News

Basically it was inevitable that someone was going to inhale my excellence and ask me to do posts for another site. And that day has begun today. I was asked to be a contributor to Epic Carnival which is pretty much a group of a lot of bloggers that post about whatever they feel like. Anyway I was asked to do a minimum of 2 posts a week, and I figured that wasn't much and perhaps it will drive more people to good ole here.

Pretty much I wanted to spread my hate to the masses. I busted my first post out today which I figured could be on the subject of one of my favorites to hate on, Brian Scalabrine.

Anyway, I'll post a link on my sideboard to where my posts will be located at Epic Carnival. And most likely unless I'm very lazy I'll include a link into a Quick Notes page every time I post something up there.

Thoughts? Hart? Perras? Frank the Tank? PapaBear?

I dig it Simon, moving up in the world huh? I also dig the subject matter, as I hate Scalabrine with the fire of a thousand suns as well. Unfortunately, I might hate Pollard just as much, if that's even possible.

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...
