Hi Guys, It's Kaz Again

Hey Guys its Kaz Matsui again just saying hi to all my fans out there. I especially want to say hi to all of the Met fans out there. Can you believe that I'm going to the World Series this year? It's only been a little over a year since the Mets organization traded me against all of the support I received from the wonderful fanbase in New York. I understand how in agony you guys were last year when you were getting eliminated in Game 7 of the NLCS, all because you were stuck with Jose Valentin as your second baseman. But I know that all of you are still in my corner and can't wait for the possibility of me walking around the diamond with the World Series trophy. That'll be great won't it, if since my entry into Major League Baseball I had more World Series rings than the Mets.

And how about the fact that I had the most RBIs in the NL in the first two rounds. How great is that? You all definitely saw it coming. 8 RBI and a .310 average, man did I put it together this postseason so far. Not to mention all of the terrific double plays myself and Tulo have turned thus far. If it wasn't for Matt Holliday being such an animal maybe I would have won the NLCS MVP, oh well I know I had the Mets fan vote regardless.

I'm going to get going though. Gonna rest up for a few days and back to practice for the start of the Series. Thanks again for all the continual support, feel free to wear all of your Met Kaz Matsui apparel over the next few days.

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...
