Weekly Waste of Oxygen

A day late and a buck short but these weeks have been a struggle with actually work.

1. The Midwest - Who doesn't want the Television to crap out during the Super Bowl, I mean the middle quarters were a snooze fest anyway so who really cares if you miss a bunch. Apparently Arkansas and Oklahoma really didn't care if their residents missed a large part of the game.

2. Pedro Martinez - Cock fighting is just a fun alternative to UFC in the Dominican except with less steroids, less blood and more death. Can you really blame Peetey for enjoying a little cock on cock battle. You have to do something to keep yourself occupied in the DR if you aren't going to take B12 shots with Miguel Tejada.

3. Bill Belichick - My team just lost but there is one second left in the game and since I'm a huge whining baby I think I will leave the field before the clock actually completely ticks off. I'm a sore loser, I don't want to take a Super Bowl loss like a man.

4. Kevin Hart - Imaginary recruiting is even better than real recruiting. I think the kid deserves atleast a little bit of kudos for convincing his entire town that he was being recruited by two of the top schools in the entire Pac 10. I think it's even more amazing if he could have actually have duped his parents into believing he was getting a scholarship to one of the top public schools in the country.

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...
