2010 BCS Championship Player Map

After finally figuring out how to add the Alabama and Texas maps into one, I present you with a Map of the BCS Championship game. Again, there is either a Bama or Longhorn logo in each city/town where a member of the team calls home. Click on any of the logos to see which player(s) comes from each city.

~I'm going to discount living in Louisiana as living West of the Mississippi, by doing that the Crimson Tide do not have a single player West of the Mississippi. Hell this might be the first time 95% of their roster has ever been in California.

~In contrast, Texas only has one player from East of the Mississippi and he seemingly isn't get much time off the bench.

~Bama has three players from Texas including Quarterback Greg McElroy who likely is looking forward to some state bragging rights if the Crimson Tide are victorious.

~The lone player on either roster who resides in California is Tight End Blaine Irby, whom was expected to be the Longhorns starting Tight End this season but got hit with the devastator last season and hopefully can come back next year.

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...
