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: 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...
