Thanks Michigan St. For Wasting My Time

~Well that sucked and probably doesn't even deserve it's own post so it shall be a lighting, lightning quick version of quick notes.

~Was that the worst championship game you've ever watched? At least in my memory yes. I don't remember the UNLV Duke game, so maybe that was worse, but at 33-11 this game was over.

~What the hell was Tom Izzo doing? Does he know you can use a timeout in the opening minutes when your team is getting run out of the building? You have a handful of them, you can could have called four timeouts in the first few minutes to try to get your team to stop playing like douche.

~What the hell was Michigan St. doing? Any casual fan could have told you Michigan St. running with North Carolina would be a miserable idea. Yet, that was seemingly the gameplan at the start of the game. Play UNC's tempo, try to push the ball and get open looks. It just resulted in UNC scoring more and more and more points.

~UNC was actually playing defense for the first 10 minutes of the game. That was pretty much the only defense they needed to play.

~Does UNC have an invisible defensive magnetic force around the three point arc pushing the ball in the wrong direction? Michigan St. couldn't buy a three either, just like Nova on Saturday.

~No Hansbrough crying was very disappointing.

~Clark Kellogg is so bad its ridiculous. Please Please Please put Raftery on the #1 crew for gods sake.

~Ya I'm done talking about that shit.

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...
