Weekend Review Quick Notes

~Barry Lamar Bonds hit 755 and the world was un-enthused. Personally I thought Bud Selig's reaction was lame, at least give 2 weak claps, you looked like a fool. But I guess you were too tired from your Herculean Effort to move your arms. It's as if Bud Selig is trying to be a douche to the proportion that people want to give Barry Bonds a break. I almost feel good for the guy.

~Arod went yard and decided that he didn't want to leave the batters box until the ball was in the stands. I'm glad he's there, he certainly is glad its over and now perhaps he can go back on the tear he was on beforehand.

~Tom Glavine won #300, yippy. People are beginning to state that he may be the last 300 game winner ever. Come on, let's not jump to stupid conclusions like that. There will be another 300 game winner, who knows when but there will be one. I'd even put money down on CC if there was a betting line in Vegas for that.

~Manny Ramirez apparently has friends that he wants to wave to in Seattle after home runs. I personally thought this was hilarious and I wish someone would just post up the video on youtube already. Oh and then he went in the dugout and acted like a bull charging a matador.

~And even more entertaining in that game, the Moose Mascot attempted to run over Coco Crisp with his ATV. That was funny. Hooray for found video, at the bottom.

~The Indians and Tigers are really putting effort forth to getting the Yankees into the playoffs.

~Mikey Pizza cleared waivers. I'm kind of surprised an AL team looking for some DH pop didn't claim him. Perhaps the Twinkies? Or Angels make sense?

~The White Sox claimed Miguel Tejada off waivers. Huh? Why? Not like you're going to compete next year, you really want to pay out his salary this season and have him on your squad next year? Um ok. And if you were blocking, why? You're not going to make the playoffs this year.

~Things that aren't a good idea: Talking trash about Tiger Woods. Last year Stephen Ames talked shit and then matched up against Tiger in the match play tourney and almost got shut out. And this year Rory Sabbatini talked trash and got pummeled in the final round yesterday. Rory didn't you know Tiger Woods is Now?

~Danica Patrick was leading the race this weekend and her car had problems so she didn't win yet again, leaving her 0 for, well, 0 for forever. Shades of Kournikova?

~Rookie Contract holdouts are still lame. Revis get your ass in camp already.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
