Tmags 4-6-1

Here are the over/under results for each question.

1. The Giants will score 575 runs this season. Over/Under
I guess the Giants didn't suck at an all time rate.

2. Eric Gagne will blow 8 saves this season. Over/Under
Gagne blew 7 games total this season, some as closer, some as setup man. He also missed all of June.

3. Mike Mussina's ERA will be 5.00. Over/Under
Muss was the Yanks best pitcher this season.

4. Ben Sheets will end up on the DL on July 11th. Over/Under
Didn't get seriously hurt until the last week of the season.

5. Ryan Howard will strike out 180 times. Over/Under
Eclipsing the 200K mark.

6. Barry Bonds will be on a roster on June 20th. Over/Under
Nobody even sniffed Barry Bonds this season or probably ever again.

7. The Devil Rays will win 17 games combined against the Yankees and Red Sox. Over/Under/Push
The Rays went 17-19 against the Yanks and Sox. 10-8 vs the Sox and 7-11 against the Yanks.

8. Joba Chamberlain will hit Kevin Youkilis this season 1/2 times. Over/Under
Technically the only time Youkilis got drilled by Chamberlain it registered as a strike. Youk did get drilled by Muss and Rivera though.

9. Erik Bedard will win 19 games. Over/Under
Didn't even make 19 starts.

10. The Orioles season attendance total will be 2 million. Over/Under
1,950,075 for the O's this season.

11. The AL East will be clinched by the completion of the games on September 25th. Over/Under
The Drays had a chance to clinch on September 25th with either a win or a Red Sox loss and couldn't get it done.

Congrats to me and Ferre...

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.

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...
