Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Apparently the biggest theme of this week is miserable parenting.

1. Christopher Biechele - Whine, Whine, Whine, and maybe some cheese. The NFL cost me some money because they decided to televise the game to the masses. So because I'm a whining baby and I spent my $200 bucks to get the NFL network I want the NFL to pay me all the imaginary dollars I would have made if patrons came to my bar to watch the big game.

2. Mr. & Mrs. Thorn - Sometimes you just really really shouldn't give your child what they want, especially when giving them what they want requires you to fight the local government simply because your little boy wants to be a... cheerleader. Seriously, as parents not only are you condoning your son to get his ass whooped, you are promoting it. Genius.

3. James Gahan - Jose Canseco probably would vote for this guy as father of the year rather than a waste of oxygen. But any man who decides that his sons fame is more important than his future health, and decides that feeding his 14 year old performance enhancers is a pretty big waste of oxygen to me. Thankfully he'll be heading to the slammer for a long time.

4. The Ohio State University - Two straight years you tease us with your explosive starts only to be completely out of the game by the 4th quarter. Why must you be completely outclassed by the SEC, why must you win all of your cupcake games and not lose to the likes of Stanford like USC. Must you punish college football fans by winning all of the winnable games but getting pummeled by the superior squads in the Title game?

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...
