Rick Porcello > Kevin Youkilis

For all the tough guy juice Kevin Youkilis oozes out, I found Tuesday Nights fracas to be delightfully delicious. First off Mr. Youk gets hit squarely in the back, not really something out of the ordinary for a player who has been hit nearly 40 times during the past three seasons. Yet, Youk decided the time was now to fight. The time to fight came when he was going to fight a pitcher who should be a SOPHOMORE IN COLLEGE.

So Youk charges the mound. All the while Rick Porcello has his hands up in the air and is back peddling with a "why the fuck are you trying to fight me look on my face". And then what does Youk do? He throws his helmet at Porcello like a little pansy and then tries to take him down. But instead of taking the 20 year old Porcello, he in fact gets tossed to the ground and so we get this picture.


Ha, Youk just got tossed by a college kid. What a Jackass.

For the time being you can watch the video here. Hilarity.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

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...
