They All Have More Rings Than Charles Barkley


Look at this assembly of Los Angeles Lakers players that all now have more rings than Sir Charles. Let's take a look from top down.

Trevor Ariza - The man was a New York Knick for a season and a half before he was one of the main components in the Knicks trade for Steve Francis and Penny, arguably the worst decision the Knicks ever made. Now he's the defensive stopper on a Championship team?

DJ Mbenga - I'm pretty sure this dude was cut by the Warriors last year. Now he has more rings than Reggie Miller.

Shannon Brown - Kid's been in the league 3 years and the Lakers are his 5th team.

Adam Morrison - This one's my favorite. Look at him wearing his championship t-shirt as if he contributed at all. Wow that's just great.

Jordan Farmar - Mr. Farmar scored a total of 2 points in all of the Lakers finals wins combined. Now he's got as many championships as Jerry West.

Luke Walton - 1/5th the talent as his father and now just 1/2 the rings.

Lamar Odom - If there's one player on the Lakers that's been the most brutally criticized, its been Lamar Odom. Now he's got as many rings as Clyde Drexler and he's going to make bank on the free agent market.

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.
