Anything Less Than a Championship Would Be Uncivilized

Just in case you missed it, the UConn Huskies finished off their undefeated regular season by punching fifth ranked Louisville in the baby-maker, 75-36. The Huskies in total won 36 games this season, and while that's impressive it's really the manner of their victories that needs to be noted.

1. The Huskies did not win any game by less than 10 points.

2. In 36 games the Huskies average margin of victory was 31.5 points.

3. In 5 Games against ranked teams UConn won by the same average of 31+ points.

4. UConn's average margin of victory on the road is even better, coming in at 32+ points.

5. Louisville lost 1 of their 30 games against teams not named UConn, they lost by 28 and 39 points respectively in their two matchups.

6. Oklahoma's Courtney Paris Guaranteed a National Championship but her squad lost to UConn by 28.

7. UConn Doubled Up Their Opponent 9 Times this year, including the Big East Title Game

8. UConn won 16 of their games by 30+ points.

9. UConn won 26 of the 36 by 20+ points.

10. In the Big East Title Game, Maya Moore scored her last point with 7:52 to go in the game, the score read Maya Moore 28, Louisville 27.

Honestly, if they don't win the championship it's going to be just as ridiculous as the Pats not winning the Super Bowl two years ago. They are head and shoulders better than every other team in the league, not winning a title is not an option.

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...
