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...

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.
