It's Final Four Weekend so let's take a quick look at the odds for this weeks Championship game.

Picking Butler
Butler Beats Duke: 5-1, Butler Beats West Virginia: 7-1

The Butler Bulldogs are #3 of 4 this weekend as they are barely favored over Michigan St. and then would be an underdog in the championship game. Personally, I don't think the Hoosiers win the title. I think they get there, but I'm not buying they beat Duke or WVU, even though they already knocked off Cuse who is probably better than both WVU or Duke.

Picking Duke
Duke Beats Butler: 3-2, Duke Beats Michigan State: 2-1

The Blue Devils are the favorites but come on I can't pick them to win without wanting to punch myself in the face. Down with Duke and Jon Scheyer.

Picking Michigan St.
Michigan St Beats Duke: 6-1, Michigan St Beats West Virginia: 8-1

Michigan St. had the easiest road to the Final Four and yet still had the closest games to get there. They additionally don't have their best player. Michigan St. is not winning the National Title.

Picking West Virginia
West Virginia Beats Butler: 4-1, West Virginia Beats Michigan State: 4-1

Take West Virginia. Just do it. It gives you the smart choice and it gives you even more incentive to root against Duke which is always a good idea.

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...
