Hey Ass Face Shut Up

Just when I thought Boston fans couldn't get any more annoying their De Facto spokesperson, Bill Simmons makes my hatred boil deeper. In this weeks version of his NFL picks, instead of giving any analysis of last weeks action or this weeks action, he decided to spend the entire 3,500+ word post on bitching about the officiating in the Patriot win. Needless to say it was f*cking annoying and eventually came off as I'm a New England Patriot fan so I can bitch and moan after wins and have the right to act like a complete douche cause my team is better than yours. I would elaborate on this more and may on monday, but right now it's 4:11 and I'm already 11 minutes late on leaving work an hour early so I'll just leave you the most ludicrous of his words:

"We haven't seen homefield advantage work that well since Hitler invaded Russia."

Correction Bill, Russia defeated Hitler the Colts did not defeat the Pats...

This is like the 5th post I have seen today ripping on Simmons' story. I am so glad I don't read him.

Simmons was funny when I read him... in 8th grade. He was on AOL then and really let shit fly. Now he's censored on ESPN and his writing has gone down hill.

Simmons jumped the shark about 3 years ago.

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...
