Rubbing It In: Kaz Matsui


"Hi Met fans it's me your favorite former second baseman, Kaz Matsui. I just want to express my condolences to you as a fan base for your difficult week and point out that you guys can still root for me this week against your hated Phillies. I know how disappointed you all were when I was traded away but fear not Philadelphia is only a Two Hour drive from Queens so you even can take a trip down the Jersey Turnpike and see me in person. How exciting is that? You must feel better already.

And how about last night? Wasn't I great last night? I went 2-6 scored a run in the first, had the go ahead sac fly in the 6th and that huge leadoff double in the 13th. You guys all knew I was going to come through in the clutch. I didn't even have to say that, of course you guys did, you know how top notch of a player I am. Oh and didn't you love the charging off balance play I made as well? That was a good one, maybe even a Web Gem.

Alright guys I need to take some BP so I can get ready for the Playoffs instead of golfing and a flight back to Japan. Again I'll be in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon in the leadoff slot for a Playoff team unlike Jose who'll probably in a club drinking, so if you want to improve your mood I'm sure you can find some tickets on Ebay or something."

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
