Keeping the Faith

The world is full of assholes. We see this every day. For instance, the d-bag on my ass at 6:10 a.m. this morning even though there was a perfectly good left lane for him to go be an asshole in. We see mothers throwing their drug-dependant babies at cops, congressman soliciting BJs in airport restrooms, guys trying to trade Dolphins tickets for some man-boy love action as Simon mentioned earlier, and everything in between.

Those are just the little things too; there are also the occasional genocides and the extraordinarily cowardly suicide bombers. And then somebody does something that restores the ol’ faith in humanity.

The Colorado Rockies voted to give a full playoff share to the widow of their minor league coach that was killed by a line drive this year. Not only is the woman pregnant, but she has two other young children as well, who will be throwing out the first pitch on Saturday.

The Rockies seem to be doing pretty well on their own lately, but this last karmic boost should make them a lock to win the whole thing.

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...
