Way To Go Japan

Apparently Japan has launched the largest lunar mission since the American Apollo missions. Ummm, who the hell cares? Congratulations, you not only have locked up 2nd place, but it took you years of screw ups just to lock that down. Also, as far as I can tell from the article, they aren’t landing on the moon, and the mission isn’t even manned. They could have at least thrown a monkey on board for laughs right? And why in god’s name do they need 3 separate satellites to study the moon with? I can see the damn thing from here.

So somebody go tell Japan that until they have guys with sweet names like Buzz and Lance attempting to make contact with alien beings by drilling Titleists into outer space, we don’t want to hear about it. If that can’t be done, I’d settle for somebody telling Dice-K to throw like he’s got a pair tonight.

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...
