Weekly Waste of Oxygen

No serious crimes this week, which is nice, but just proves that you don't need to do something horrendous to be considered a moron.

1. Eric Schnupp - Some may choose to call him the Biggest Waste of Oxygen this weekend, I prefer to call him inspiration. When your team sucks, as Baylor most certainly does, can you think of any better way to motivate the troops than urinating on a bar the night after another painful loss. I don't know if I can.

2. El-Hadji Diouf - If you were the best player for your national team and you were only 26 the logical progression would be what? Captaincy? Or... retirement. Why because they were no longer paying for his plain flights. This coming from the same player who admitted to getting thrown out of Premiership games on purpose.

3. EA Sports - Video games aren't just for kids plenty of adults play them as well I know. But there are a lot of kids walking around the aisles who will grab EA sports games and think to themselves, wow Shawne Merriman is cool or if your Latin
Luis Castillo es un gran chico. And now the children are idolizing steroid users. Good idea EA.

4. Manny Ramirez - Manny doesn't care about losing and doesn't care if he makes a mockery of the game and of the opposing pitchers. The moral of story is that the only thin that Manny Ramirez does that should be taken seriously is hit a baseball. Other than that every single thing the man does should be taken with a grain of salt.

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...
