I Hate Banks

So yesterday on my relaxing day off I decided to run a few errands. Cook dinner for the family and go to the bank. And then I realized that once again I would not be able to go to the bank. The bank like myself had the day off.

No business has worse hours than the bank. Banks open an hour later than you get to your day job and an hour earlier than you get home from that job. They are open for a few hours on Saturday, but never late enough where you have fully gotten out of bed or over your Saturday morning hangover. That is the story of banks, they want you're money but don't want to be open during a logical time for you to give it to them.

And thus I hate banks. Banks of all shapes and sizes.

I hate Elizabeth Banks for being a big tease in the 40-Year Old Virgin.

I hate Mr. Cub Ernie Banks for being a perennial loser.

I hate Chip Banks for having a dumb name.

I hate Johnathan Banks for holding some stupid boxing title called the NABO.

I hate Brad Banks for getting traded for Kliff Kingsbury in the CFL.

I hate Carl Banks for going to Michigan St. and only making one pro bowl team.

I hate Marcus Banks for being one of the many wasted Celtic Draft Picks.

I hate Lloyd Banks for changing his name from Christopher Lloyd.

I hate Gordon Banks for winning a World Cup with the damn English.

I hate Tom Banks for making 4 pro bowls yet only having a 4 line wikipedia page.

I hate Willie Banks for being a bum yet getting 2 World Series Rings.

I hate Tony Banks for being a bum backup who couldn't even start over Trent Dilfer during the Ravens Superbowl year.

I hate Willie Banks for holding a World Record in the Triple Jump yet never winning an Olympic medal.

I hate Sean Banks for his moronic decision to leave Memphis early.

I hate Tyra Banks for letting herself go and her stupid TV shows.

I hate Banks.

I'm fortunate and have a bank that is pretty good, considering the rest of the banks are basically how you described them.

However, there is one "Banks" you might not have a problem with.

You've got to admit this is one "Banks" that isn't so bad.

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...
