The Scalabrine Watch Week 3

This season the NBA has listened to one of my many thoguht and has started to track a players +/- during the course of individual games. Due to my intense dislike of Brian Scalabrine, I am going to track the inept deadbeat in a weekly post called The Scalabrine Watch.

Celtics 101 Pacers 86: +8
Another Celtic beatdown means another game where Scalabrine gets to enter drop a couple of threes in watered down minutes and have his plus/minus suckle off the Big Three's tit.

Game Stats: 15 Minutes, 2-5, 9 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Celtics 91 Nets 69: +3
Almost amazing how a person could have a plus/minus of only positive 3 when they are involved in a 22 point blow out.

Game Stats: 10 Minutes, 0-1, 0 Points, 2 Rebounds, 1 Assist

Celtics 92 Heat 91: -5
Apparently Scalabrine wasn't a good matchup or something against the Heat and thus only entered the game for a total of 6 minutes. But he must have left a good impression on some Heat player as he left with a -5.

Game Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-3, 0 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Celtics 102 Orlando 104: -2
The Celtics were going to lose eventually and yesterday was that day. For the second consecutive game Scalabrine got limited minutes, and for the second consecutive game he produced just about nothing during those limited minutes. -2 on the +/- -2 on the scoreboard.

Game Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-1, 0 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist

Overall Week Performance: +4
Another week and another positive for Scalabrine. This week however, Scalabrine sprinkled in two negative outings amidst two Celtics close contests. Meaning if he was not on the floor during those games, there's a decent chance the Celtics do not split them. Well that was a vast overstatement of course, but regardless it's nice to see the Celtics decreasing his minutes to single digits.

Week Stats: 35 Minutes, 2-10, 9 Points, 4 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +36
Scalabrine still has a much higher Season performance than I was expecting, but atleast its continually coming down to earth week after week. The man is bad at basketball and should not be making anywhere near what he does.

Season Stats:13 MPG, .320 FG%, 2.9 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 1 APG

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...
