Welcome to a New Year


Welcome to 2008 where, to steal from the NBA, 'Amazing Happens'. I mean Lloyd Carr won a bowl game, if that can happen maybe this site could suck a tad bit less in 2008 than in 2007.

Anyway, since I had zero actual New Years Resolutions for myself, why not come up with some resolutions for this here site.

1. Proof Read atleast one post a month. My grammar sucks and I don't particularly care, but I figure one good proof read a month is a step in the right direction.

2. Call myself out on horrible picks. For instance, I am currently winning our Bowl Pick 'Em league, however if I wasn't a bitch and actual had some faith in the team I actually root for then I would have it locked up. Instead I have to be a complete pessimist and have a chance at being overtaken.

3. Try to add more things to the Dictionary. I think that's funny, and I've basically ignored it.

4. Convince the NFL officials not to give the Patriots bullshit penalty calls in the playoffs so that perhaps they play on an even playing field.

5. Continue to find any interesting story involving urination.

6. Repeat my Threepeat dominance in baseball where I look intelligent, unlike when I draft NFL busts left and right.

7. Go to a WNBA game. Ha.

8. Find something to write about during the spring and summer. I love baseball, but no time is easier to make posts than football season.

9. Create more Photoshops.

10. Win the lottery and start paying people to make this place prettier.

I'm not going to blow that one proofreading on the first post. I want to have it atleast linger until I post something half way relevant.

Sometimes the pats get calls, sometimes they get hosed.

Did you watch the Pats vs. Indy this season? It goes both ways, so take your hatorade somewhere else.

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...
