Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Oh the fun of douchery and bad decisions. Here are this weeks contestants:

1. Ricky Williams - You would think that a man who owes so much money to the Miami Dolphins and spent so much money on weed and has declared for bankruptcy would care about cashing his checks. Well apparently not that much as some of his dough is being held by the bureau of unclaimed property in Florida.

2. Nick Jojola - Stuff that's probably a bad idea; going into a robbery without any disguise and too drunk to remember what the hell you are even doing. Well this skateboarding youth 'legend' would have been better off investing in a Nixon mask.

3. Vick Profiteers - Whether it be those t-shirts, or PETA or the people trying to sell a doggie chew toy you are all scum. If you for a second try to come out and say that what Vick did is despicable than you obviously don't have that much of an issue with it considering you are attempting to reap the benefits.

4. Alexander Tikhonov - If you were a 4 time gold medalist and a 13 time World Champion in the Biathlon what would be on your agenda? Would conspiracy to murder a governor be at the top of your list? Well it was a top Tikhonov's list.

July's Winner: Gary Sheffield
Last Weeks Winner: Bud Selig, by executive decision of a split vote.

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...
