So You're Telling Me I Have To WIN the Opportunity To Buy a Ticket


As you've noticed I am not very pleased with how the Yankees are going about their process of selling tickets this season, well it just got worse. MLB teams have recently started the process of a lottery for premium tickets. The Mets had one for Opening Day tickets. As noted here the Red Sox have one for Monster Seats, Budweisers Seats and other premium games. It's common place and you really can't complain about it. The Yankees however have taken this approach about a mile sprint further, by having a lottery for the opportunity to purchase tickets. Not premium tickets, just tickets.

So say I want to go buy games against the Royals in mid June, well unless I win the lottery than I'll have to wait until they finally decide to sell the tickets to the general public. And who the hell knows when that will be cause if you notice below they still are only mentioning this whole lottery process and not when tickets truly go on sale. Go here to sign up for the lottery and because I've informed you, if you win I expect you to take me.


God this is annoying.

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
