The Opposite of the Fire So and So Website

Some clever kids presumably at rival Virginia Tech have come up with DontFireAlGroh.com imploring people to continue the Al Groh coaching experience because of it's model of consistency. Here is their post after Virginia's loss on Sunday:

Virginia Coach Al Groh continued to be a stunning model of consistency in road games Saturday, achieving the same result as in nine of his last ten games away from Scott Stadium in a 23-3 match versus the Cowboys of Wyoming. In doing so, Groh managed to reveal almost none of his playbook to rival ACC coaches, running only 46 plays to Wyoming's exhausting 88 play over-effort. Groh also confused future conference foes by showing two quarterbacks, a gambit reminding some of his 2006 season. When asked after the game which signal caller would open the upcoming Duke contest, Groh coyly responded, "How did I know someone was going to ask that?" While it is indeed a mystery how one mortal could harness the extra sensory perception to predict such a random inquiry, it is also clear that Virginia's quarterbacks have some work to do if they wish to match Saturday's record setting 110 yard effort against the Blue Devils next week.

This just might be the best idea for a website ever, sarcasm at its very finest. Unfortunately it may work just as well as a FireAlGroh website for getting him shit canned. I mean you know you have a seriously horrendous coach when opposing colleges throw up a website saying that you should keep your coach because he is the model for atrocity. All I can say is that I am thrilled that he left the Jets after a single season. Thanks for that decision Al, and enjoy getting fired by your alma mater.

Thanks for the propers. Luckily, Al gives us plenty of material. Otherwise, it'd be pretty hard to keep coming up with stories. Truth is stranger than fiction, and Al is dumber than we can imagine.

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...
