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...

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.
