Dear Eric Mangini

Dear Eric Mangini,

Hi Eric. I know you are having a rough year. You are 1-11. You can't make up your mind who your quarterback is. You traded away all your offensive weapons for some draft picks and a few Jets players you were fond of. It's been a tough year and you might just be thinking about having the #1 pick and dreaming of drafting Ndamakong Suh already. But let's think about the present for a second. You might be on the chopping block. You really could use a win to give some of the folks in Cleveland some joy and what better time than now. Even if you go 2-14, if you're second win comes with the benefits of smashing the playoff hopes of the defending Superbowl Champions than at the very least Cleveland fans can ridicule Steeler fans and say "Our shitty team knocked you out of the playoffs." It's probably enough to keep your job.

So let's get it done tonight Eric. We are all behind you. Send the Steelers to an early January vaction.

Thanks and Good Luck,
The Rest of the AFC

PS. If you can shut down Big Ben that would be great for our fantasy teams as well. Thanks again.

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.
