Freedom Running

Some times you just have to marvel at the fun stories that are a direct result of communism. One of these fun stories occurred yesterday. The Cuban Under 23 year old team is in Tampa competing in a tournament. The team recently drew with the USA despite a Freddy Adu goal so what do you do to celebrate such a victory? Run away of obviously.

If you're on your countries national team chances are you can make some money on your skills. Except for Cubans of course, who apparently have yet to learn from the Chinese and Yao Ming. Thus, when their athletes travel with their national teams there's no better time to run away.

My favorite part of the entire story is that now the Cuban National team is left with only 13 players. 13 players who are probably all pissed off that they didn't run away on tuesday night and will now be on lock down for the remainder of their time in Tampa. There's got to be at least one guy on the team thinking to himself "Fuck I was planning on running away on wednesday night, now I'm screwed. Those bastard."

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
