Random Quick Notes (1/27)

When I have a few random topics I feel like discussing but none of the topic deserve a whole post, then you get the quick notes.

Michigan Be Done
Well the Michigan season is about as good as over now that they have fallen to 10-10 and lost maybe their best opportunity to pick up a landmark victory. First off they choked and not necessarily on the defenses last possession. Up three their last two actual full possessions ended in a shot clock violation and a DeShawn Sims airballed three. Mr. Bielien, you need to draw up something better than that. Oh and how the hell was this not a foul? Since when can you full out grab someones jersey when they go up for a shot?


Goodbye Undefeateds
Bob Knight and the Hoosiers can now rest easy, no college team is going undefeated this year. You had to know that Kentucky with its freshman heavy roster was going to fall at some point in time and that it would most likely come on the road. In the end this probably was a good learning experience for the Wildcats and something they can learn from.

The Mets Don't Want Pitching?
Yesterday was another bad day in the life of a Mets fan as two more free agent pitchers are now off the market. Ben Sheets seemed to me like the perfect target for the Mets, tons of risk but tons of upside. Jon Garland I think is just a meh pitcher but he would be a reliable #5 if he was on the Mets. If the Mets are comfortable with the way their rotation stands now, than they are morons and signing up to get fired. If not, well I really have no idea where they go now to get another pitcher.

Aussie Open
There is officially no attractive women left in the Aussie Open draw. I no longer have any rooting interest. As for the men's side, Andy Murray looked good punishing Nadal so perhaps my pick from last week will work.

Greg Oden's Dong
I'm truly amazed by how many idiots continue to send naked photos of themselves to whomever with their phones. Greg Oden just joins the drumline of the idiot list. At least for him he certainly has nothing to be ashamed of.

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...
