The Rattlesnake Is Back

So I’m sitting there peacefully watching TV on Monday night, when I receive the following IM from my buddy Hank: “Turn on Raw right now, Stone Cold is about to stun someone.” Or something like that. Now, slightly pathetically, this got me about as excited as any IM possibly could have, with the exception of anything from JsImPsOn69. Stone Cold was the main reason I watched wrestling for as long as I did, him and the sweet ass of Fabulous Moolah of course, God rest her soul. To hear that he was back would be like hearing that Tom Brady was coming out of retirement 20 years from now to lead the Pats back to glory.

So of course I changed the channel to Raw, and proceeded to watch Austin lay down a textbook stunner, go backstage and drive a Budweiser truck down to the ring, pull a fire hose out of the truck, and hose down not only the chump that he stunned, but the impossibly hot broad that was with said chump. All the while Hank and I were exchanging IMs like a couple of 12 year old school girls. Austin then proceeded to pull his classic, “Get two Buds tossed to him, open them, smash them together and pour the remains all over himself,” routine about 16 times, including on top of the truck. Not to mention the fact that they kept playing his music the entire time. If you don’t get goose bumps every time the glass shatters at the beginning of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s music, you may want to go to the doctor and make sure you’re alive.

I haven’t watched wrestling in a long time, but I’ll be damned if I’m missing a second of The Rattlesnake.

Also, mucho props to Simon for plugging my marathon adventure, and for the downright hilarious pic of a running bear that he managed to find. It is now the official photo on my fundraising website.

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.
