Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Two big time wastes of Oxygen battle it out this week in a classic showdown

1. Grey Ruegamer - I don't really know if this deserves Waste of Oxygen status or if it's just really really really weird. But when some guy tells a story about biting off animal nuts I think it's crazy enough that at the very least it garners some consideration. Is it that much easier to use your teeth than say bolt cutters?

2. Brandon Inge - At first I thought Inge would have had a shot at winning this week. He's the prototypically woah is me I get 6 million dollars a year and I'm not happy guy. He's bitching about how he isn't going to get any pt now that Cabrera is a Tiger yet it's his 6 million dollar contract which makes him untradeable. Typically this sort of whining has a shot to win the weekly waste, but this week I'd be shocked if Inge took home a vote.

3. Jerramy Stevens - Before you do anything, read the entire story including the article linked to by TBL. Than after a few minutes regather your thoughts and just classify how big of a scumbag Jerramy Stevens is. How there is any possible way you would want to be friends with him, or have him as one of your teammates, or be forced to coach him, or even be in the same state as him. Than think about how the prosecutor completely bailed him out for no discernible reason and think about how you're ten billion times the human being as Stevens yet can't ever catch a break. Now how much do you hate this man.

4. Tomas Delgado - Excuse me but do you see my audi? I paid a shitload for that car and now it's damaged and it's completely your sons fault. I want you to pay me back for the damages to my car. If you leave out the details it's not that bad. Car was damaged partially the sons fault wants money for damages. Than when you throw in the fact that Delgado was driving 100 mph and his car was damaged when he killed the son, than it puts a whole different spin on things.

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...
