Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Another fun week in the world where you have to wonder why some people ever talk, why others are ever allowed to talk and why some are just plain jackasses. Here are your weeks candidates:

1. Asashoryu - Think about what Barry Bonds would do in the offseason if he was asked to do some extra exhibition games around the US. He would say oh no sorry guys but I need to rest my injuries. Asashoryu, a Mongolian Yokuza did the exact same thing. The Problem? He played in a charity soccer game right after he said he had a stress fracture in his back. Dumb ass.

2. Pac 10 Presidents - What is one thing that almost every college football fan in America thinks is a good idea and 4 of the 6 conferences are contemplating? Oh the plus one game, everyone loves that idea. Except for the damn Pac 10 presidents who say they will pull out of the BCS if this happens. Assholes.

3. Bud Selig - Look at me, I'm Bud Selig, I'm such a hard working and diligent commissioner that I went to 8 Barry Bonds games waiting for that schmuck to hit 755 and only took a few games off here and there. Shut your yap Bud no one wants to hear how hard it is to go to baseball games for free.

4. Pete Rose - Invite Pete Rose to speak at your baseball camp and you just might hear stories of how he has seen Joe Dimaggio's wang and how Marge Schott stiffed him out of his will. Oh he'll be kind enough to drop a few F bombs at the kids. So get him while you can I'm sure his asking price is reasonable.

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...

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...
