Please Let This Be True

It’s not that I hate LaDainian Tomlinson, but I sure as hell don’t like him. I’m also not a religious guy, but if there is a God (whose name isn’t Tom Brady) then this little tidbit will be true. I was sitting there peacefully reading Uni-Watch this morning and the whole article was about typos. Near the bottom of the page there is a link to this article which states that Tomlinson has a tattoo with the words “MY INSPERATION” under his mother’s face. Now for those of you who can’t spell your way out of a paper bag, it’s “INSPIRATION.”

Now I’ve got some tattoos, one of which I’m not overly proud of, but that’s what happens when you end up in a tattoo shop at 4:00 a.m. in Cancun that lets you drink beer while you’re getting inked up. Long story short, at least it’s spelled right. (If Drew did it I would have a giant “FIGI” on my back. Translation: Mexican tattoo artist > Drew in the smarts department.) I put no thought into it and got the tattoo done by a guy whose primary language was definitely not English, and it came out just fine. I may have hepatitis A-K, but it’s spelled right.

There may be the minute possibility that the clown who wrote the article misspelled the word and thus has completely dashed my hopes and dreams for the day. We may never know, but just in case I would like to say, "Mom, you inspere me."

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...
