Thursday Morning Quick Notes

~Michael Strahan is a chump. He's all whiny and threatening retirement because he wants more money. Good for the Giants telling him to go screw himself. You may be the active leader in sacks, but guess what you're old and you missed half the season last year and Dwight Freeney and other people that banked in the offseason have none of those problems. Stop being a bitch.

~Speaking of holdouts, is there anything more annoying than the rookie holdout? From Brady Quinn I'm a QB and I think I'm a top 5 pick so I deserve more money than a normal 22 pick to the Jets 1st round draft pick Darrelle Revis fighting over having one less year on his contract, all are lame. The NFL really should structure their draft salaries like the NBA does. You are drafted here, here is the max money you can make. We will sign you at that. Good? Good. Signed.

~What's with journalists attempting to make Dog Fighting seem worse than Rape? First some guy in Pittsburgh says it sad that in this country Vick would have been better off raping a woman. Than a CNN reporter starts comparing the charges that faced Kobe and that Vick is in a worse situation. Probably cause Kobe was completely innocent meanwhile Vick is...

~Culpepper to the Raiders makes a ton of sense. He's the exact model of a QB Russell can look at and learn from. In addition it makes his holdout and contract talks not nearly as urgent. And for Culpepper he gets a chance to start and prove he's not completely washed up.

~A-Rod is just showing how mental he is right now. He's journeying on his career long hitless streak because he is psyching himself out and can't do crap while thinking about #500. As soon as he stumbles into the homer I bet he goes back on his tear but who knows how long it will take for him to hit the dinger.

~The YES Network is currently on sale for 3 Billion dollars so get your buddies together and get your funds straight, let's buy the shit.

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...
