Eddie House Apparently Teaches the Children a Valuably Lesson

The Celtics won last night in OT despite not playing the Big 3 during the extra session. They were helped out by some big time defense and a clutch shot from Eddie House who was struggling at this point. With 1:29 left House hit his first shot of the game, having gone 0-6 in regulation, to give the Celtics the lead. This bucket apparently should be taken as a life lesson for children according to the Doc:

“That’s a great lesson for all kids,” Rivers said. “If you’re a shooter, you’re a shooter. You can miss 20 in a row, but if you’re open you shoot again. Eddie is a great shooter because he’s thinking the chances are greater that it’s going in.” Yahoo

So Children, no matter what level of basketball you are at, effectively you should have no conscious. If you are a 'shooter' just keep on throwing up bricks if you don't have the touch on a given day. One of them might drop, and if they don't there's always the next shot, or the next shot, or the next one. Regardless just keep on firing them up if you're open, who cares about what your teammates may end up thinking.

That must have been why Fratelli use to take half court jump shots during Intramurals for no explainable reason. At least at the time. Apparently, he went to a Doc River's basketball summer camp.

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...
